Is the law equal for all?

On the 9th of March, Spain is having general elections to choose the president and the parliament. It would be the equivalent to the elections where Britons chose Tony Blair. Since I'm outside of Catalonia, I had to go to the Spanish consulate to say that I wanted to vote, and after waiting for a couple of weeks, yesterday I received an envelope. In the envelope there were all the ballot papers from all the political parties running for election. Even though only around ten parties achieve to get representation in the parliament, there are dozens of candidates from very tiny parties. I am interested in politics, so I know most of the parties and their political ideas, but I had never heard from some of the candidates, so I googled them to find out what their proposals are.

I was shocked when I entered the web page of alianza nacional, a fascist party that is running for election. I find it offensive that a party that defends racism and Nazism, that enhances the figures of Franco, Hitler and Mussolini is allowed to run for election. The police should put all of them into jail, they are like a terrorist party and they should be treated like that. And the European Union allows the nonsense of the Spanish government? Nobody has realised that Nazis are a legal and a political organization in Spain? In case someone has doubts about the ideology of this bunch of scum you can see their promotional videos here, with their fascist aesthetics, their fascist flags and their swastikas.

What worries me the the most is that this shows that in Spain the law is not equal for everybody, because political parties like Batasuna or ANV, which support the independence of the Basque Country have been made ilegal because they didn't condemn the terrorism of ETA. I am sure that alianza nacional does not condemn fascism or the holocaust, so why are they legal? Isn't the law supposed to be equal for everybody? I suggest a campaign to make this political party illegal together with other ones like falange, falange autentica or democracia nacional. E-mails should be sent to the Inner Affairs Ministry of Spain and to the European Union to lobby so that bunch of racists and Nazis are wiped away from the legal system.
