A man from Spain tried to enter the trial naked in which he is accused of exhibitionist behavior.
Alejandro Colomar attended a summons on Tuesday at a court in Valencia completely naked and perplexed those who were there, according to the Spanish newspaper El País, although he was not allowed to enter the place.
Colomar attended to face an administrative sanction for walking around in public without clothes.
Upon reaching the door of the Ciudad de la Justicia building in Valencia, three officers blocked his way and five policemen surrounded him and asked him to get dressed.
If he didn't, they warned him, he would be sanctioned.
A minor was present at the scene and observed the incident, according to news reports.
“I have always liked it, I have always gone to nudist beaches since I was little and I have never had any problem with nudity,” Colomar told reporters, according to El Diario de España. “One day I looked on the internet that it was legal and I started To do it.
They have given me fines because the police do not know the laws, basically”

Colomar, 29, works remotely in the IT sector for a company in North America and has been sanctioned several times for his exhibitionist behavior.
By his count, he has paid nearly $3,000 in fines.
“We do not believe that it is obscene to walk down the street naked.
Yes masturbate or do obscene acts.
We understand that going naked is exercising ideological freedom,” explained Colomar's lawyer, Pablo Mora, to the journalists who gathered outside the courthouse.

The man was brought to trial after being accused of indecent exposure for entering a police station naked.
He lost in the criminal proceedings against him in the first instance, explained his lawyer, and now they await an appeal.
Recently, the director of a school denounced him for allegedly passing "on purpose" naked in front of the campus.
His lawyer assures that Colomar has a farm near the educational institution, according to El País.

Colomar was able to enter the building on Tuesday after agreeing to put on his clothes.
“
They are bothering me every time I go out naked
on the street, I am going to show them that I can go like this and, since they bother me, I bother them”, he said.
His lawyer assures that the law of Spain is not clear about the supposed crime of his client and that there are international cases that serve as a precedent to shelter Colomar.
“There are precedents from the European Court of Human Rights, specifically a case from the United Kingdom, in which nudism is understood to be protected by freedom of ideology and expression.
That is our fundamental argument," he defended.
