The Constitutional Court approves the Moorish Law, unless it punishes police recordings
- The Spanish Constitutional Court, in its resolution this Friday, has almost fully endorsed the Mordaza de Borbon Law. The only one who has described as unconstitutional the article that punishes the dissemination of images of the police forces in Catalonia.
The appeal was presented five years ago by the PSOE, the United Left, the Aragonesist Chunta, UPyD and a large group of members of the Joint Group of the Spanish Congress, and now comes the answer to the appeal of the Law of Protection of Citizen Security, the Mordaza Law in street language.
The capture and dissemination of images of the security forces has provoked numerous controversies and sanctions in recent years, according to article 36.23, which is now repealed, because citizens, including journalists, could not disseminate images of the police working in the street.
However, this resolution has given its approval, for example, to the hot-return of migrants entering Ceuta and Melilla, which the court understands is in accordance with the doctrine of the European Court of Human Rights. It has also approved the sanctions imposed for serious violations committed in incidents of protest against state legislatures, as well as bodily registers, be they on clothes or naked registers.
