Born in Barcelona to a Catalan father belonging to the Penedès rural community and an Extremaduran immigrant mother (herself the daughter of a Republican military officer),[1] Milá began his political activity as one of the members of the fringe right-wing extremist groups (usually named incontrolados, "uncontrolled elements") who rallied against leftist or pro-democratic meetings during late Francoism, usually assuming the role of unofficial mob breakers and violent counter-rioters.
As Xavier Casals Meseguer explains in Los Neonazis en España (Editorial Grijalbo, 1995), the PENS terrorist attacks on the headquarters of El Ciervo (a relatively center-leaning Catholic journal), theTaller Picasso (1971), Catalan libraries (such as the Cinc d'Oros, 1971), the Gran enciclopédia catalana (1974) and libraries and public centers in Valencia (1975), among others, were not prosecuted—mainly due to the fact that the Francoist police and the SECED itself, along with a former member of Franco's bodyguard corps (Luis García Rodríguez, later founder of the neo-Nazi group Estado Nacional Europeo), provided active support for said actions.
In June 1980, an illegal gathering dubbed Día de la Patria Española and organized by Milá on behalf of the Youth Front, ended with the assault and arson of the Barcelona Union of the Democratic Centre (UCD) headquarters.
In January 1981, during Milá's absence, more than thirty militants of the Frente de la Juventud were arrested by the police, and accused of terrorist activities, among them a bombing in Madrid which killed one person and wounded nine others.
As he admitted himself in his interview with Manuel Vázquez Montalbán, during his stay in Bolivia he worked as an adviser (most likely on PSYOPS or plain torture) for the short-lived Cocaine-coup dictatorship along with infamous neo-fascists such as Stefano delle Chiaie and Nazi war criminal Klaus Barbie,[4][5] later returning to Spain in 1983.
During that time he directed Ediciones Alternativa, which published the first translations of the works of the Italian esoterist and fascist ideologue Julius Evola, one of whose career highlights was the book "Revolt Against the Modern World".
His orientation towards these themes has been the object of many a controversy with other journalists [19] He also published in journals such as El Alcázar and Defensa, Más allá de la ciencia, Año Cero, Próximo Milenio, Nueva Dimensión and Historia y Vida, some of them also including articles by historic militants of CEDADE.
