Does Free Speech Exist in Spain?

Hat tip Vlad Tepes and Gates of Vienna. Video translation by Fousesquawk.


Free speech obviously did not exist under the regime of Francisco Franco, but Spain is a democracy now. Yet, a prominent politician, Javier Ortega-Smith of the conservative Vox party, finds himself the subject of an investigation for hate speech by the Prosecutor's Office in Valencia after he described the "Islamist invasion" as the enemy of the country, liberty, family, democracy and other things. His comments were made in a speech in Valencia on September 16, 2018. The Spanish organization, Musulmanes contra la Islamofobia (Muslims Against Islamophobia) lodged the complaint.

Worldnet Daily has a report on the matter.
