The Spanish government, led by President Pedro Sánchez, is set to approve a comprehensive democratic regeneration plan aimed at enhancing media transparency.

This initiative, which will be discussed by the Council of Ministers, seeks to mandate the disclosure of media ownership and the transparency of institutional advertising.

The plan also addresses controversial legal reforms, including the potential removal of certain offenses that limit freedom of expression, such as insults to the monarchy and religious sentiments.

While the PSOE and its coalition partner Sumar agree on the need for reform, they differ on the extent of these changes.

Additionally, the plan proposes the establishment of an independent audiovisual council to oversee media practices, a move that has sparked debate over potential censorship.

The proposal, which aligns with European media freedom laws, faces opposition from the PP, who accuse the government of attempting to control the media.
