Pedro Varela overturns Spain’s Zionist Thought Crime statute – could this be the beginning of the end for Israel’s ‘Holocaust’ enforcement terror?
Spain Abolishes Thought Crime Law – Withdraws from Germany’s Holocaust Persecution Alliance
Below report from El Mundo, Madrid, 8-11-2007, p. 3 (translated from Spanish):
Freedom of Expression cannot be denied even to the Nazis
The first sentence given in Spain for the crime of genocide apology will also be the last. Moreover, it will be revoked. The Constitutional Tribunal decided yesterday to decriminalise a presumption that was included in the reform of the Penal Code of 1996. Article 607.2 anticipates punishments of up to two years in jail for whoever, “by any means” diffuses “ideas or doctrines that deny or justify” the Holocaust.
With that legislation, a Barcelona court [Juzgado Penal Nº 3, Judge Santiago Vidal] sentenced a librarian [Pedro Varela] in this city in 1998 who distributed and commercialised pro Nazi books and videos. Against the prosecution’s criteria, the Catalonian Court of Appeal [Audiencia Provincial, three judges] posed the question of unconstitutionality, when considering that the referenced article limits a fundamental right, the right to freedom of expression, since it punishes the diffusion of ideas “without demanding any other element, such as affronts, or inciting to attack groups.”
We are, undoubtedly, before a correct decision of the Constitutional Court that reinforces our system of guarantees. Because, no matter how odious the ideas that justify genocide may appear to us, a free society cannot deny their right of freedom of expression, unless it includes inciting to violence. The opposite would be to reinstate the crime of opinion.
Romanian National Vanguard salutes Spain’s decision regarding Freedom of Speech! Every man and woman must be able to express their thoughts otherwise there is no freedom but just an illusion. We hope all European nations will adopt such a law! Only then we can really understand what happened back in the WW2 with the jews. By locking people up who simply talk their thoughts will only make it worse for them, it would make it look as if they have something to hide and well it has been proven lots of times that there are many hidden facts about it, like the recent released International Red Cross report.
