Galician blogger Alejandro de Llano has told in his blog that he has been charged with the great crime of supporting Israel and being against the Palestinian people.
Two years ago, the Galician nationalist Major of Oleiros (in the photo) began a campaign whose slogan was “Stop the beast. Sharon murderer” and “Stop to new Nazis”. The Major is known for his love for Castro (was watched over by CIA because of his friendship with Castro) and Palestinians. The campaign also included T-shirts with Anti-US and anti-Sharon for 6 € and it also pictured US flag in a higyenic paper with the legend “USAme”, which in Spanish is “USE me”. Very respectable.
When questioned about the campaign, the Major said that if the Spanish Government would ask him, he would remove the campaign because he did not want to “disturb the relationships between Governments“. He also said to EFE that he “will detain the campaign if the Government ask him that because of his personal respect to the Government and Moratinos, who has had “a very clean path in these issues“.
But he underlined that the initiative “would continue if nothing is said against it“, because “I am thinking the same“, and added that “what Sharon is doing can only be considered as terrorism“, because “how on earth there is a war in which some people throw stones and other shoot from tanks“.
Also, Seoane was not worried for a possibel measure against the campaign “because it is sufficiently proved that Sharon is a terrorist because he applies terror” against the Palestinian people and considered “that there will be none” because “Spain is democratic country“.
Moratinos, Spanish FM, rejected the attacks against Sharon but did not mention the anti-US campaign.
Spanish blogger Alejandro de Llano wrote the Major to critizise his campaign and to tell him that this could be even a crime of deriving public money to support international terrorism.
That was two years ago.
On October 13th, 2006, he has received a summons from a Criminal Judge announcing him that he is held responsible of the crime of supporting Israel and also of acting against Palestinian people. They did not give him a copy of the summons and they did not let him make any copies.
It is unbelievable that someone is charged with this kind of crime in modern and democratic Spain. But, wait, it is perfect to bash Israel here… and US. So will I be summoned also because I write supporting Israel? 😉
When there are new developments, I will post about them.
Some people have echoed these news: Elentir, Adosinda, Cristina Losada from Libertad Digital and Reportero Digital.
BARCEPUNDIT has written about this affair after reading a second post of the De Llano about this affair and he says that:
The blogger is understandably downplaying this, and maybe it’s right and the affair went to a judge as anti-Semitic as the mayor himself. Or maybe not, and the insults (and veiled threats?) [he is referring to the e-mail the blogger sent the Major] were real. It’s impossible to know with the information we have now. So we should reserve judgement on this issue until all information is available, I think.
According to Article 24 of Spanish Constitution, one of your main rights is to be told “about the crime you’re accused of”. In here he was not told he was accused of insulting / menacing the major but of supporting Israel and also of acting against Palestinian people. If later they charged him because of another crime, then that summons wouldn’t be rightly done.
Also the crime for “supporting Israel” is not considered in Spanish Criminal code, but as I also said here, they can be charging him for denying a supposed Palestinian genocide.
And as I said here, I prefer to blog about this and not to be quiet about something so serious than to let it happen afterwards.
UPDATE 2: I recieved yesterday an e-mail from De Llano. There is a correction to be made: he is a Cuban living in Spain. In the past Seoane has insulted Cuban dissidents living in Spain, but he did nothing. When he saw these news, he wrote Seoane. The rest is correct.
De Llano is another hero to be considered. May he fight to the bitter end and come up a winner.
Thanks for emailing this to me, I have added your blog to my favorites list.
What is the actual charge? Surely there can’t be a charge in Spain of “the crime of supporting Israel.” If there is, I will certainly protest to the Spanish Embassy in Ottawa.
I will spread the word as much as I am able. How on Earth can this be a crime? Where is this actual law? Everything possible will be done to keep this case as visible as is able. Can we help de Llano in any way other than publicity? If so, please let us all know. I’ll keep on it, and you know I’ll stick to that, because my Grandfather is Galician, and we seem to be a passionate bunch! Brothers in arms. Bless your hearts!
This is BEYOND absurd! What level of judge is involved? Some municipal bureaucrat? I hope that this goes straight to the EU or at least the national level, and I would like to see how they react.
And the mayor should have a choice of exile to Cuba or Venezuela!
I’m Spanish. Only who lives in this country would understand the government. You would cry for Spain if you know it. Search about “Estatuto de Cataluña” or “Estatuto de Andalucía”. Its a corruption.
Thanks for opening my eyes to yet another idiocy. What will they think of next? The crime of supporting organ donation? (Because that means someone needs to die first.)
Alejandro de Llano is not alone. I support Israel! God bless and keep you. Spain has experienced Muslims in the past and more recently on the trains. Get real Spain the enemy is the Mohammedans not the Jews!!!
Down with Spanish censorship!
American Bloggers support Alejandro de Llano!
Thanks to all for commenting and for having your support.
No, there is no crime like “supporting Israel”, but there is one for denying any genocide (a.607.2: “The difussion by any means of ideas and doctrines that deny or justify the crimes related in this article -that is genocide- […] will be punished with prison of one to two years”. And seeing how this is going it could be that he is charged with that.
Anyway, as we do not know the actual charge because he was not even allowed to copy the summons -and I think he is no lawyer-, we will have to wait till the day he is obliged to go into court.
Tim, the legacy of experiencing Muslims in Spain was much better, peaceful and profitable than the one of experiencing yank troops in Irak, Afganistan and.. which comes now?.
Sergio Alvaré, eres una vergüenza nacional. Para ser tan neocón, dejas demasiado facilmente en vergüenza a tu patria aireando sus ¿flaquezas?. And, Tim, don’t worry, Sergio is sure they were not Muslim terrorists acting in Madrid, but ETA terrorists.
Although I am fully against criminal acts like those we have seen by the USA troops and Israelí troops, and those that were made against the TT in NY while some israeli agents were jumping with so much joy while the towers were burning and falling (“so the world could understand them better”), I disagree with such a mesure against Mr. Llano. But we (and YOU) should keep silence because we know nothing about the details of the charges. We will know it in some days. Fortunately, we, the Spaniards, have more freedom of speech that those of you living in the USA.
Mmm, Ronchof:
Thanks for commenting but I do not agree with you.
It is not very credible that Israeli agents were so happy about TT. The ones who were very happy were the Palestinians and other Arabs.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celebrations_of_the_September_11,_2001_attacks
Even the pro-Muslim Wikipedia recognises that there were celebrations.
And are you for censorship? Because that expression about “YOU should keep silence” sounds a little bit hard for me, doesn’t it? If he says that, having been reading him for so long, I believe what he says. There are US troops and Israeli troops that could have made bad things, but they are charged, something that your admired Palestinians and Iraqi “insurgents” would never do with their heroes, when they torture, behead, kidnapp and all that.
And well, this is the kind of rethoric we are one day and the next listening from MSM. It’s just disgusting.

Lady Vorzheva, you should (or ought to) keep silence TILL we know the charges. We are talking about “foam”. Keeping silence is better than correcting unfortunate words said in advance. Once we get all the information, then we can talk with judicious criteria.
And, Lady, you are only seeing one face of the Moon, but, believe me, there is another face. This is also true with the Irak affair, and also with the TT affair. If you really want to search for the truth, you will do it, I have no interest that you are well or badly informed, my friend. But I am glad that many USA citizens are opening their eyes recently by themselves. Keeping them misleaded is not fair play, they don’t deserve so.
Do you know what is more striking for me? That you feel you are sooooooooooo well informed about reality and consider all the rest of the planet sooooooooooo bad informed. That’s too paternalistic.
And by the way, if later is false, I prefer to retract myself than to let someone be charged with so laughable a crime. That would be an injustice and it’s better that I am corrected afterwards -that would be a good thing, though- than not to fight against political correctness and biased MSM.
[blockquote]Lady Vorzheva, you should (or ought to) keep silence TILL we know the charges.[/blockquote]
It’s her blog, she can say what she wants.
Must be conspiring to follow in Franco’s footsteps…damn Fascist! :p
Ronchof, you should speak english the all will understand u here. “Verguenza nacional”? I know people like you. It’s imposible to talk about anythting you dont like. And, in my opinion, im not sure about Muslims or anyone.I only think, like about 30% spanish people (or more) that governement was. You think I’m stupid and I should be censored e?
It isn’t revenge, it’s justice. My english is poor, i hope ull understand me. And please, dont attack me, only “speak”, ok?
Roch, how could you possibly think we were jumping up for joy?! I’ve worked in Israeli press for 5 years now. I am originally from the states, so i am very loyal to both countries. when the towers were hit, we in the middle of a run through for a ceremony kinda like the oscars called “people of the year.” we were all in complete and total shock. the only thing you could POSSIBLY say is that AT MOST we said that maybe now someone will understand us, but by NO means did ANYONE say that the US (or london or madrid, etc) deserve it, and you won’t find anyone who will say that (i am, of course, scratching out extremeists from each religion).
A post I made yesterday on from my blog that links to this post already got an impressive number of visits from all over Europe and North America. So, the word is getting out.
There is no such thing as a “Palestinian People”!

My goodness. An pro-Israeli journalist gets silenced. I can certainly see why this has considerable man-bites-dog interest.
Whatever does Daniel Pipes think when he reads this? MEMRI and CAMERA need to open branch offices in a hurry.
Taltalk, just do some search with the right words through google or yahoo. I don’t mean the Israelí people was jumping of joy, but some agents were caught by NY policemen. Read, and then think what you want. Besides, many people LIKE ME was crying while we were the towers falling. Don’t confuse me with the one I am not.
Sergio, I speak the language that the recipient of my message can understand, and that recipient was not you. Anyway, if you don’t understand Spanish (even being a Spaniard like me), go back to school again. You are that sort of people that don’t allow us to speak Català between friends or family while we are visiting Madrid, don’t you?…
Don’t ever believe the poor blogger has been charged for ‘supporting Israel'(it is legally impossible): he says and omits (I have menaced someone for what I think a support of Israel) and this is the reason I’m charged.— By the way, bad publicity for Israel that people do loose education while pretending to defend someone. Before giving credit to a still second world’s country’s member, make you send proofs and verify. And sharpen this measures for first world countries …

On the other hand it is obvious that it should be unthinkable an oficial pronouncing himself the way he does, and this can be legally pursued. Hope Israel doesn’t declare war to Spain, they’ve got enough problems!
Ronchof:
very good: so after saying yaks were nearly genocides,now you cried when they were killed. Hmm, admirable logic.
And secondly, who has ever told you, you cannot speak Catalan in your home in Madrid? Some part of my family are Catalan, and no one has told them anything similar never…
Sonja Kasten:
What he says is that he INSULTED, not menaced. There is a difference: one things is that I call you an idiot -not calling you by the way-, the other thing is to tell I am going to kill you.
Sonja Kasten:
now that I read again your comment, I want you to clarify me something: are you calling Spain a “second world member”?
And, if that is the case, does that mean that I am less credible than other people coming from “first world country”?
And lastly, De Llano has written me and looks like there are much more people -some of them important- indicted in the same process. As I have said, we only have to wait till Nov 30th where they are summoned to present themselves into Court.

Unfortunately for Spain, people like Roch are common and supported by the socialist political system. The good news are that Spanish economy still performs positively; I wonder until when, bearing in mind such mentality stereotype.
Much of what’s going on in Spain is nowadays shut and silenced by the Spanish media, through a lubricous influence system coordinated by the government of Zapatero, who is, in my opinion, the Hugo Chavez of Europe: nobody listen to him anymore.
Thanks to the Spanish bloggers, for keeping hope high and the pink flag flying.
Oh, yes, Orlando. Our economy goes up thanks to our neighbour, Portugal, but mainly thanks to your daily effort there with the help of Jose Ribeiro e Castro. You, both, are rising up and up and up my country.
Oh, yes, there is no freedom of speech here, this is a sort of dictatorship, you know, Orlando, we cannot express ourselves and we need kind foreign people to save us.
Sonja, my country is not a second world country. Your grandma was not born in a second, but a third or even fourth world country. Only France, UK and Germany (wooawww, your country!, oh, yes, the best country in Europe) are the first world. The second world is only the country where Orlando was born, a “little bit” to the south.
And only Israel and USA are over the first world, indeed they are at the right of the Father, that’s why their leaders may violate women and destroy countries with impunity.
And thanks to Lady too, that sort of people that shows her real country to the world: a república bananera full of people that could sell their mother through internet, in order to get… to get what?… the consent, the approval of people that only wants us as the brothel of Europe?. Lady, where is your patriotism?.
Nice. A Blogger is Spain is intimidated by a judicial summons because he supports a specific idea or ideology (it doesn’t matter what it is) and somebody takes any criticism on this matter as a “patriotism” issue. Swell. I think that Zapatero is now legitimated to impose the Sharia Law in Spain, in the name of the “Spanish patriotism” which nobody may put in stake, isn’t it? Right. Got it.
Perhaps “Rochonf” can illuminate us with some specific examples as to how the U.S. and Isreal “leaders may violate women and destroy countries with impunity.”

woe! Rochonf says:

Lets stop this train and let t stand. Only Israel and United States? I don’t think so, I don’t what world your living in ur in but othe r countries have been doing it for centries. You must have flunked history or you just got a lopsided worl view.
The first duty of every nation is to her own people. The Jewish state’s first and only duty is to her people, and if any nation attacks Jews that nation should be utterly slaughtered, for thirteen hundred years Jews were the nice guys who let ourselves be trampled upon. Well, a few of us have learned that it is better to a winner then a loser, that its better to be alive then dead and its better to have a Jewish state hated by the whole world then an Auschvitz thats loved by it. So if the Fakestinians, or the Syrians or any other nation wishes to war on the Jewish people so be it but be prepared to suffer the much deserved consequences.

Hola Lady Vorzheva:
Gracias por traducir mi mensaje. Tengo el inglés muy olvidado, y lo lamento. Me parece estupendo tu bitácora en inglés, creo que es muy necesario que se sepa por esos mundos que España no es como Zapatero nos hace parecer.
Te enlazo en mi bitácora.
Un abrazo.
Adosinda.
P.D. Sorry, I write in spanish because my english is so, so bad. I Studied english language….one million years ago. I think. 🙂
“You are that sort of people that don’t allow us to speak Català between friends or family while we are visiting Madrid, don’t you?…”
No, I hope u could choose which language to use with your friends. But I would study at Barcelona if I understand the coofficial language.
This in spanish, I cant transltate now: Me refería a que cuando me acuses de algo lo hagas de forma que todos puedan entenderte. Yo me lo salto esta vez, es curiosa la forma en que razonas, pues pones palabras en mi boca porque ya me has alineado perfectamente apenas habiendo leído un par de frases en un idioma extrangero, en el que no sé expresar exactamente lo que quiero decir. Eso sí, escribe lo que quieras que leído lo pillaré. No tengo nada en contra del catalán, por cierto. Me gusta el rollo ese de promocionar lo propio y tal, siempre que se me de la opción a particicipar en la conversación dentro de “mi” país, y no se hagan leyes absurdas para prohibir, por ejemplo, los rótulos en castellano y mil cosas más. Me encantaría, por otra parte, estudiar en Barcelona, pero no me esposilbe por las barreras linguísticas que algunos han levantado. Y no puedo permitirme aprender un cuarto idioma. Soy astruiano y no me voy a poner a aprender bable, otro idioma que considero semi inventado. No voy a discutir de historia, simplemente mi opinión. Tampoco quiero enzarzarme en una discusion de trol a “trol” contigo, ok? pues es uno de los grandes problemas de la red.
Prefiero enviarte un saludo, seguiré el debate, por favor, no me importa que dugas lo que piensas pero relaja un poco… que no tengo nada que defender en este blog,no me va nada en ello, solo quiero aprender de otras opiniones.
Galician nationalism is nothing more than pheasant fascism, some rustic version of nazism.
It’s ultra-radical, violent, intolerant, xenophobic and -it seems- it also hates jews (and Americans).
These regretful tidings do not surprise me at all.

JB, you won’t find much more than this in English, but you can get alot in any other language (you know, English censorship you bera…), indeed in other languages you can read “rape” charges.

About destruction with impunity, there you have Irak (or you can’t read or suck too much censorship), and Bush said he won’t allow their soldiers to be judged outside the USA: impunity. We hope Bush will sit in an International Tribunal some day, before he dies.
Por cierto Sergio, en Cataluña no están prohibidos los letreros en castellano. Estudiar en castellano en la universidad, pues sí, eso ya es más dificil. Imagínate que los yakees te obligasen a quitar los surtidores de sidra de tus baretos para servir Coca-Cola, ¿te gustaría?. O que te enchufen el banjo como sustituto de la gaita. Hay que respetar ciertas cosas, ni un extremo, ni otro.

“The first duty of every nation is to her own people. The Jewish state’s first and only duty is to her people, and if any nation attacks Jews that nation should be utterly slaughtered”
Funny, but replace “Jew” with “Muslim” and you are making the same argument as the jihadists.
I guess it is up to the biggest and the badest to carry that out.
As you may have perhaps remarked, my comment was deeply ironical, precisely saying that: Spain not being yet a first world country, such things as described could certainly not happen so easily. In fact, I don’t think to be a third world country or labeled as, is that bad, and consequently the fact of belonging to the second world already everything but a compliment! Not to say about presumed first world countries, who in their attempt to keep image do forget … justice! On the other hand, second world countries do not yet exist. Form the club?
Ah! And thanks to you I have broken aleatory logic!!! Needed some help and it came from you. Now, is it recurrent that posted comments with the name on them do make you appear second rank in Google under you name? If it does, dear, I will send you a packet of chocolates if you give me your adress.
Well, he said he would knew the charges in october. But he adds nothing more about his affaire… I think he was not saying ALL the truth. And this article is becoming ridiculous then.
So much ado about nothing. De Llano has been charged for insulting and threatening a public official in an e-mail, NOT for defending Israel. This guy is a bully that has finally found his match, he knows it well, and now he’s staging these theatricals and you guys are falling for it.
Typical neocon: slinging, insulting, and threatening, and then whining and crying that he’s the victim of a progressive conspiracy.
Wise up, people.
Galizan nationalism is a freedom movement for the Galizan People. We have noting against spanish or jews, and sure we support palestinian people but this is not a sin… you can freely support jews or Nazionism State of Israel, no problem, but if you threat a major to death… well, then you can have problems, try writing a hate letter to George W. Bush or to your local sheriff to look what it happens, same tale everywhere
Look what the U.S. Library of Congress said about Galizan: “Nevertheless, like Catalan, Galician seemed condemned to second-class status while Castilian continued to enjoy the role of the dominant language in official and formal contexts.” Spaniards are the one who like to ban and forbid all galizan language and national culture, they have been doing this from centuries ago, with both the absolutist regime, the fascist regime, or the present royal system is always the same… not liberal at all.
I am a Galizan man myself, and I would prefer being dead than spanish or gypsy
