A man has tried unsuccessfully this Tuesday to access the courts of Valencia

to attend a trial for

in the Contentious-Administrative way.

As this man, Alejandro Colomar, explained to journalists, the hearing to which he is summoned today is to see his recourse to an administrative sanction to which he was subjected for walking around naked.

On previous occasions, his lawyer, Pablo Mora, has also been sanctioned in criminal proceedings, although these sentences are being appealed.

Three agents of the Civil Guard, from the security group of the City of Justice of Valencia,

when he tried to enter the court naked, and immediately another group of five national police officers surrounded him and forced him to get dressed with the warning that he would be proposed for sanction if he did not, since at that precise moment a minor was also accessing the building.

"Alejandro already had a criminal trial, he was sentenced for entering a police station naked. This trial has been lost in the first instance and in the Provincial Court, and is pending appeal to the Supreme Court. It is likely that it will end up in the Constitutional Court," admits his lawyer.

This lawyer warns that "the law is not clear. Since the public scandal was repealed in 1988, the legal vacuum has to be covered by municipal ordinances that most cities do not have, which is why we understand that the principle of legality is violated."

Despite the fact that there is not much jurisprudence in this regard, Pablo Mora explains that "there are precedents from the European Court of Human Rights, specifically a case from the United Kingdom, in which it is understood that nudism is

. That is our fundamental allegation, but we must reach the corresponding instances, and right now the Supreme Court does not share that position."
