So what? Everyone knows Spanish criminal law isn't up to modern European human rights standards. The European Court of Human Rights has found Spain violating ECHR due to handing out punishments for offences as ridiculous as "insulting the Crown".
These decisions smell like they might end up before the Court as well. If found in violation, for sake of consistency at least, personally I think the EU Commission should take a serious look whether this should elicit a rule of law review akin to that applied to Poland and Hungary. (Note: I'm not saying this is necessarily as serious.)

- yeahforsureman 7y agoDon't be silly. I was merely referring to well-known ECHR case law, such as Stern Taulats and Roura Capellera v. Spain, which was about two men convicted of burning a photograph of the Spanish royal couple, and stating some opinions of my own. How could I be lying? And who are "they"? I'm no one particularly invested in this hassle.
