The main political target of España 2000 is the far right wing spectrum of the population, with emphasis on anti-immigration and anti-separatist politics. However, other extreme right wing parties have been critical of España 2000 mainly because of the ties it's leader José Luis Roberto, has with
prostitution businesses, and point out that he opposes illegal immigration but brings women from Eastern Europe to work in hisbrothels .Alianza Nacional , a self described National Socialist party, while sharing many of the beliefs and target population of España 2000, has asked their supporters not to collaborate with this party, as they look down on the relationships it has with prostitution.Spanish nazi skinheads usually joke about España 2000 calling them "Puteros 2000" (a "putero" in Spanish is someone a prostitute's client) or "ANELA 2000" (a reference to Jose Luis Roberto's relationship with the national association of Spanish pimps,
ANELA ).External links
