Barcelona .- On Friday starts the trial against Pedro Varela for spreading Nazi ideas and expressions of contempt for a race or ethnicity.

The prosecution called for four years in prison and a 6,000 euro fine for the owner of the “Europa Library,” Pedro Varela, charged with two counts of dissemination of ideas that justify the genocide committed by the Nazi regime.

According to the letter of the prosecution, between early 2006 and April of that year, the accused, who will be judged on Friday, distributed and sold books exalting and justifying the genocide committed by the Nazi regime of Hitler against the Jewish people, and containing expressions of contempt for people for their ethnicity or race.

All books were published by Ediciones Ojeda Cultural Association, the managing director of which is Pedro Varela.

On 10 April 2006, by order of the Magistrate’s Court number 33 of Barcelona, the police proceeded to inspect the Libraria’s books and 4793 were seized with such content. Also leaflets were found advertising books published by Ediciones Ojeda, and a program of the lecture series Bookseller for Europe.

Six flags were also found, a box with the book Acquittal for Hitler, an iron swastika, a plaster bust of Hitler, four military caps and helmets.

The prosecution believes that Varela is guilty of two offenses, one for broadcasting content that justify the regimes that have attempted to destroy a racial group and another, for disseminating books with expressions of contempt because persons belong to a specific race or ethnicity.
