Manos Limpias

Manos Limpias (English: Clean Hands) is an association founded in Madrid in 1995 by Spanish lawyer and extreme right activist Miguel Bernad Remón. While claiming to represent employees in Spanish public services Manos Limpias stated aim is "to file all types of complaints regarding political or economic corruption that harms the public or general interest" Considered by The New York Times and several Spanish media to be politically motivated by the far-right, it has been labelled a pseudo-trade union. The group takes its name from the Mani Pulite judicial investigation into political corruption in Italy held in the early 1990s and led by Antonio Di Pietro.

Miguel Bernad entered politics as a protege of Blas Piñar during his tenure as the Fuerza Nueva and National Front party secretary. Miguel Bernad is a Knight of Honor of the Francisco Franco National Foundation.
