The head of a “far right” nationalist group in Spain was in court on Wednesday, being brought up on charges with regards to a statement he made about a bloodbath in Catalonia if the Spanish authorities failed to stamp-out the rising independence movement in the region.

He isn’t sorry.

The Local:

The leader of Alianza Nacional (National Alliance), Pedro Pablo Peña, made the comments during a neo-Nazi rally held in Barcelona on Spain’s October 12th National Day 2013.

“Catalonia won’t become independent without a lot of blood being spilled,” he is reported to have said in a speech during the demonstration which saw the group’s members carrying banners calling for Catalonia’s regional president Artur Mas to be sent to the gas chambers.

On Wednesday, an unrepentant Peña refused to back down over his 2013 comments, Spain’s 20 minutos newspaper reported.

He is now on trial for charges of inciting hatred and discrimination.

The leader of Spain’s far-right Falange group had also been summonsed to appear in court on the same charges on Wednesday but failed to show.

Catalan separatist leaders are pushing for a November 9th referendum on independence. The region has 7.5 million people.

I don’t know enough about the situation to have an opinion on Catalan independence, but I can say that Alianza Nacional is a proper National Socialist organization, on par with the best.
