💨 Abstract

Spain's Socialist government proposed a bill to abolish blasphemy laws, aiming to prevent religious groups from prosecuting individuals for mocking religious beliefs. The law has been used by extremist groups to persecute artists, activists, and politicians, leading to costly legal proceedings. The bill prohibits lawsuits based solely on news clippings and bans political parties from launching or joining lawsuits.
