Gabriel Le Senne, President of the Balearic Parliament and member of Vox, is set to face trial for a hate crime after tearing a photo of women executed during the Spanish Civil War.
The incident occurred during a debate on repealing the Democratic Memory Law.
The judge claims Le Senne's actions disrespected the memory of the victims and their families.
A €40,000 bond has been imposed to cover potential liabilities, with a warning of asset seizure if unpaid.
While Le Senne denies acting out of hate and insists on his innocence, the prosecution seeks penalties including fines, compensation, and disqualification from public office.
The trial will proceed despite the prosecutor's recommendation to dismiss the case.
