11/10/2023 | 17:45:28 Thank you very much. All of us here agree that the events we are addressing through this report are happening in a context of technological revolution, which is speeding up. Many of our regulatory frameworks are considered to be obsolete because of this. Technological progress is progress, of course, but there are risks in terms of the proper functioning of our democratic society. That's why we are here. This report which we are addressing today refers to Spain on a number of occasions... 25/04/2022 | 18:42:15 In May 2021, almost one year ago, Spain approved a law on the protection of children and adolescents vis-à-vis violence.

In the first decades of last century, Spain was a country of emigrants and at the turn of the millennium, a decade ago, the population of Spain, diaspora population, multiplied by five.  Now, Spain, along with other countries of western Europe has experienced immigration over the last five decades and... 30/01/2020 | 17:55:09 Thank you President. I would like to congratulate the rapporteurs of the reports that we've been dealing with in this session. The entire Spanish delegation, particularly from the Socialist Party, we would like to say that it is of great concern to us the elevated number of victims of trafficked individuals in Europe. Individuals which are forced into prostitution, forced labour, organ trafficking as well. This goes hand in hand with violence and threats. The protection of these victims ought...
