The publication of "El odio," a book by Luisgé Martín, has ignited a heated debate over ethics and freedom of expression.

The book delves into the mind of José Bretón, who was convicted of murdering his two children, and recounts the life of their mother, Ruth Ortiz, without her consent.

Ortiz, who has fought to raise awareness about vicarious violence, sought to halt the book's release, citing violations of her children's honor and privacy.

However, a Barcelona court rejected her request, citing insufficient evidence and emphasizing the right to freedom of expression.

Critics argue that the book perpetuates Ortiz's trauma by focusing solely on the perspective of the perpetrator.

The case highlights the tension between creative freedom and the rights of victims, sparking broader discussions about ethical responsibilities in storytelling.
