Ernesto Milá
Spanish neo-Nazi
Ernesto Milá Rodríguez (born 1952) is a Spanish far-right political activist.
Early years
Born in Barcelona to a Catalan father belonging to the Penedès rural community and an Extremaduran immigrant mother (herself the daughter of a Republican military officer), Milá began his political activity as one of the members of the fringe right-wing extremist groups (usually named incontrolados, "uncontrolled elements") who rallied against leftist or pro-democratic meetings during late Francoism, usually assuming the role of unofficial mob breakers and violent counter-rioters. His political affiliation began in the relatively short-lived neonazi group Partido Español Nacional Socialista (PENS).
As Xavier Casals Meseguer explains in Los Neonazis en España (Editorial Grijalbo, 1995), the PENS terrorist attacks on the headquarters of El Ciervo (a relatively center-leaning Catholic journal), theTaller Picasso (1971), Catalan libraries (such as the Cinc d'Oros, 1971), the Gran enciclopédia catalana (1974) and libraries and public centers in Valencia (1975), among others, were not prosecuted—mainly due to the fact that the Francoist police and the SECED itself, along with a former member of Franco's bodyguard corps (Luis García Rodríguez, later founder of the neo-Nazi group Estado Nacional Europeo), provided active support for said actions.
Milá then became a member of the Círculo José Antonio in Barcelona, subsequently entering Blas Piñar's Fuerza Nueva (1975), from which he was expelled in 1977, mostly on the grounds of his recent civil marriage; he then joined the Fuerza Nueva splinter group Frente Nacional de la Juventud founded by Ramón Graells Bofill, which later merged into the Youth Front.
In June 1980, an illegal gathering dubbed Día de la Patria Española and organized by Milá on behalf of the Youth Front, ended with the assault and arson of the Barcelona Union of the Democratic Centre (UCD) headquarters. The Barcelona Supreme Court ruled that Milá was the main inductor of the demonstration and sentenced him in absentia to a two-year prison sentence. This formal indictment forced Milá to flee for France. In Paris he contributed to a neofascist magazine entitled Confidentiel founded by the Italian far-right activist Stefano Delle Chiaie in 1979. In addition there Milá was investigated in connection with the Copernicus street synagogue bombing in Paris, which claimed four lives.
