A conservative Catholic Spanish group has used an image of Adolf Hitler sporting make-up and a feminist symbol on his cap on the side of a bus to criticise Spain’s gender violence laws.

Hazte Oír (Make Yourself Heard), which has in the past railed against issues including LGBT rights, commissioned the bus to travel around Spain in the run-up to International Women’s Day on March 8 and is calling for the country’s right-wing parties to repeal the laws, which it claims “discriminate against men”.

“It is not gender violence, it is domestic violence. Gender laws discriminate against men,” reads the slogan on the side of a bus, along with the hashtag #StopFeminazis.

In a statement, the group called on the leaders of the PP, Ciudadanos and the far-right Vox to commit to repealing Spain’s gender violence laws for “violating equality”.

The laws, including a €1 billion, five-year programme passed in 2017, brought in measures to protect victims of domestic violence such as processing suspected cases within 72 hours and providing legal, psychological and social assistance to victims.
