After criticizing a leftist pro-Palestinian politician, a Spanish blogger has reportedly been served with a summons for the crime of supporting Israel: Galician blogger charged for supporting Israel.

This seems so extreme I suspect something’s been lost in translation; but on the other hand I can’t simply dismiss it out of hand, given the current anti-Israel climate of Europe. Here’s the blogger who says he received the summons: El rincón de la libertad: ¿Juicio político?

And here’s a computer translation of his post:

Two years ago the mayor of the municipality coruñes of Oleiros, that is in addition friend to Fidel Castro, organized a campaign with public money, against the democratic state of Israel. In the occasion of that I sent an email mainly planteándo him my opinion that. Today a citation has arrived me from the court of the penitentiary where it is mentioned to me to declare like imputed “TO BE IN FAVOR OF ISRAEL AND AGAINST the PALESTINIAN TOWN” What opinais?
