[8] E-2000 has its origins in the Platform Spain 2000 (Spanish: Plataforma España 2000), created for the 2000 Spanish general election by the far-right political parties Democracia Nacional (DN), Movimiento Social Republicano (MSR), Partido Nacional de los Trabajadores (PNT) and Vértice Social Español (VSE).
[15][16] The platform was led by Ripoll, inspired by Marine Le Pen's National Front, and supported by Pegida president Tatjana Festerling.
In 2019, E-2000 decided to not take part in the national and regional elections, in order to avoid dividing the vote and to not damage the electoral expectations of Vox.
Key features of the party's platform include the establishment of a more democratic voting system by abolishing the D'Hondt method; tighter control of Spanish borders to prevent illegal immigration, and the immediate expulsion of illegal immigrants; giving native Spaniards priority access to jobs; more investment in the police and military; more social spending, particularly in public education and protected housing; better salaries and labor conditions for the working class; and a public banking system.
One of Roberto's gyms, Chute Boxe, held valetudo courses for the police, funded with public money and organized by the Sindicato Independiente de Policía.
[23] José Luis Roberto was arrested, although never formally indicted, during the Spanish Transition, in connection to two terrorist actions against independentist meetings held in Valencia.
He has been consistently accused, albeit without proofs, of founding and partially funding marginal far-right groups such as Acción Radical Frente Antisistema.
He has been constantly sued and criticized by anti-racist and anti-fascist organizations for engaging in hate speech and allowing open signs of bigotry from members and supporters in his party's meetings.
Known for his past membership in the Partido Español Nacional Socialista (PENS), Fuerza Nueva and, later on, its splinter group, the Frente de Juventudes, Milá was 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.
After a stay in Bolivia, where he worked as an adviser for the short-lived Luis García Meza Tejada dictatorship along with infamous neo-fascists such as Stefano delle Chiaie and war criminal Klaus Barbie,[31][32] he returned to Spain.
[33] Widely considered the most intellectually ambitious and well-connected of all Spanish neo-fascists who have escaped successful legal prosecution, Milá is nowadays devoted to "cultural" dissertations about diverse topics held dear by the far right in his blog.
[48][49][50] At the 2007 event, protestors burned pictures of the chairman of Esquerra Republicana de Catalunya, Josep-Lluís Carod-Rovira, and of the Basque lehendakari, Juan José Ibarretxe, chanted En España los españoles primero: contra la inmigración ilegal y en defensa de nuestros derechos (In Spain the Spaniards come first: against illegal immigration and in defence of our rights), and displayed ETA emblems such as 'Menos pateras, que cierren las fronteras.
