⬛️⬜️❌ New disgraceful example of banalization of #nazism & hate speech vs the #Catalan minority by #Spanish paper El Mundo.
A practice on the rise by #Spanish institutions, media, etc., according to #UN Special Rapporteur on Minority Issues @fernanddev, but that has a long standing tradition.
#Catalan leaders are in prison for exercising their #freespeech, as denounced by international organizations, but these deplorable acts of hate speech aren't punished. In #Spain justice isn't equal for everyone.

The Spanish transition has done nothing but whitewashing deeply rooted practices and ideas, such as turning Alianza Popular, founded by Francoist ministers, into Partido Popular; or institutions such as the political court Tribunal de Orden Público into Audiencia Nacional.
