About freedom of expression in Spain. Some comments for open dicussion from a conventional case-law point of view
Abstract
In this text we study the case-law handed down by the European Court of Human Rights against the Kingdom of Spain for violating the fundamental right to freedom of expression, recognized in article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights. Once a brief introduction to the said rule has been made, the different judgments are exposed (from the factual assumptions to the ruling reached, passing through the ratio decidendi used by the Court), followed by an analysis based on a series of data that confirm the starting hypothesis: it is not fair to present the case of Spain as that of a country where the freedom of expression is at a structural risk.
