Mr. Pedro Pablo Peña, the president of Alianza Nacional (National Alliance), a far-right political party, publicly defended the fascist attacks on the premises of the Catalan Government in Madrid of September 11th on Spanish TV program El gato al agua broadcast by the Intereconomía channel, stating “We support the action. It is not illegal to enter the premises of the Catalan Government, what is illegal is to stage a separatist event”.
Mr. Peña noted that this was the path to take to respond to the increasing separatism in Spain and took the example of the Ulster Unionists fight against the IRA. He said further that “there were no injuries or deaths”.
Iñaki Anasagasti, a Member of the Spanish Senate for the Basque PNB party, who was participating in the program on the phone and who had witnessed the events first-hand, replied that was not true. “The assailants were aggressive, pushed the people around and smacked a young woman on the face”. When Mr. Anasagasti hung up, Mr. Peña went on to accuse him of being a supporter of Basque terrorists ETA.
The show's anchor, Mr. Javier Algarra, never tried to cut Mr. Peña’s hate speech at any time during the program.
