Sánchez to Unveil Democratic Regeneration Plan

Published: 2024-07-16

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez is set to present his 'democratic regeneration plan' to Congress on Wednesday.

The plan aims to combat disinformation and regulate media funding, potentially limiting public financing for certain outlets.

Sánchez proposes reforms to laws on rectification rights, honor protection, and institutional advertising.

The initiative has sparked debate, with supporters viewing it as necessary for democratic health and critics warning of potential threats to press freedom.

The government plans to negotiate with political groups after summer to implement legislative measures.

This move comes amid ongoing political tensions and investigations involving government officials.
