Judgment against Pedro Jose Frances

Pedro Jose Frances
On 2011, Pedro Jose Frances places some banners on Buñuel (Nafarroa south basque country) town's hall for remembering the victims of spanish fascist rising of 1936.

On 1936, spanish fascism colaborating with ultra-catholic movement and some regionalist movements rebelled against spanish republic (formed by socialist, socialdemocrats, communists, anarchists and basque/catalan nationalists). In Nafarroa, the "rebellion" won and killed more than 3.000 people (mainly socialist, communist, basque nationalists and anarchists).

In Buñuel, 52 people were executed by spanish fascist forces. After putting the banners, the mayor of Buñuel (the mayor is member of UPN a right-wing unionist political party) denounced him. The court have said that Pedro Jose must pay a fine of 160 euros to Nafarroa government and another 281,33 euros to Buñuel's town hall.
