Automatic summary, not yet reviewed

  1. The bill would add a new title to Law 29/2011 covering the prevention and punishment of acts in public spaces that glorify terrorism or humiliate victims of terrorism and their relatives.
  2. It would ban conduct such as organizing tributes to people convicted of terrorism, publicly displaying symbols or messages glorifying terrorism (including on social media), lending public spaces for such acts, granting public subsidies for them, and public officials taking part in them.
  3. Offenses would be classified as minor, serious or very serious, with fines from €200 to €150,000 depending on severity. Additional penalties could include being barred from public office, from receiving public subsidies or from contracting with the public sector for one to five years.
  4. The Government's regional and provincial offices would handle the proceedings, with the Ministry of the Interior handling the most serious cases. If the acts could be a crime, the case would be referred to the Public Prosecutor and the administrative proceedings suspended until a final court ruling.

  • Each deputy’s province is the one of their seat on the day of the vote.
  • We only say “passed” or “rejected” when the majority needed is certain; otherwise we say which side had more votes.
