The Congress Begins the Reform to Be Able to Withdraw Press Credentials with the Rejection of PP and Vox – Pledge Times
- The Congress of Deputies began reforming its regulations on May 20, 2025, to enable the removal of press credentials in Madrid.
- The reform arose after protests by parliamentary journalists who reported disruptions and insults affecting their work.
- The new rules establish a sanctioning regime covering serious actions such as insults, threats, recording in restricted areas, and misinformation in credential applications.
- The sanction can last from three months to five years, or be permanent in extreme cases, with seven parliamentary groups supporting and PP and VOX opposing the measure.
- The reform triggered debate over press freedom, with critics alleging prior censorship while supporters stress it aims to curb unacceptable behavior without harming information rights.
