Spanish FM: Constitutional Court decision “must be overturned”
MADRID (EJP)---Spanish Foreign Minister Miguel Angel Moratinos said that Spain’s Constitutional Court recent decision to eliminate prison sentences for Holocaust denial "must be overturned."
Until the court decision, the Spanish penal code provided for one or two years in jail for anyone who disseminated theories or teachings that denied or justified genocide, such as the Nazi liquidation of Europe’s Jews.
The new ruling makes only the justification of genocide punishable by prison.
50,000 Jews live in Spain although most of them are not affiliated to a community.
Madrid is home of around 20,000 while 14,000 live in Barcelona.
The Constitutional Court is the country’s highest judicial body with the power to determine the constitutionality of acts and statutes of the Spanish Government.
“Even if this means changing the penal code, we must overturn this decision,” Moratinos said Wednesday night in a speech at a dinner organized by the Federation of Jewish Communities of Spain (FJCS).
He added very emphatically that neither this government nor any future Spanish government "will ever permit Spain to become a center for neo-Nazi activity."
Israel Garzon, president of FJCS:"The Court's decision is in complete contradiction with international human rights agreements that limit freedom of expression to the respect and defense of fundamental rights.”
During the dinner, FJCS presented Jordi Pujol, former president of the government of Catalonia, with the Angel Pulido Award for his friendship and support for the Jewish people and Israel.
Speaking before Moratinos, Israel Garzon, president of FJCS, deplored the Constitutional Court’s decision, declaring: "It distances our country from the ideas that are prevalent in the most important European countries and is in complete contradiction with international human rights agreements that limit freedom of expression to the respect and defense of fundamental rights."
He warned that the country will become, with legal protection, the "European centre for Nazi information."
According to well informed sources, neo-Nazis in Spain are planning to start next weekend an anti-Semitic campaignaround the theme of globalization and a purported international Jewish conspiracy to control the world economy.
They have invited former leader of the racist and anti-Semitic Ku Klux Kla, David Duke, to attend a meeting in Spain.
