Barcelona's local government issued twice the bus against 'feminazis' which campaigned in Catalonia, including its capital, earlier this week.

The bus is part of a campaign by far-right group Hazteoír, and includes a face of the Nazi leader, Adolf Hitler, with pink lips, in order to link his totalitarian behavior with the feminist movement.

The vehicle had other messages, including "It is not gender-based violence, it is domestic violence" and also "the gender equality law is discriminatory for men."

In their two lawsuits, Barcelona's local council accuses Hazteoír of promoting advertising messages against the dignity of people. The organization could be fined with up to 61,000 euros.
