| A judge has fined a man who habitually walks about the streets of Barcelona with nothing on, eighty euros for disobeying the orders of a pair of Guardia Urbana officers who asked him to identify himself and put his clothes back on. The man, Esteban TE, refused and was arrested.
In his ruling the judge "considers that the officers had the authority to order the man to get dressed, and although not punishable under the Penal Code, a council byelaw dictates that 'nobody may undervalue the rights of others, nor offend their dignity'." The judge went on to say that the nudist seems to forget that "others also have the right not to see him without clothes."
The incident occurred on the 24th September during the La Mercè festival in Barcelona's Barceloneta district. |
