The recent order by Judge Santiago Pedraz to close the Telegram messaging platform in Spain at the behest of Atresmedia, Mediaset and Movistar has raised concerns regarding freedom of expression in the country, especially in the context of the European elections scheduled for the 9th. of June.
The decision to close Telegram, a communication tool widely used by a large part of Spanish society, raises questions about the independence of the judiciary and impartiality in the handling of matters of public interest.
It is important to highlight that this measure occurs at a time when the outsider candidate Alvise Pérez has played an active role in denouncing alleged acts of corruption. Pérez, a renowned analyst and communicator, has used his influence on social networks, including a Telegram channel with a significant audience, to promote transparency and accountability in public life.
At a time when transparency and democratic participation are more important than ever, the closure of Telegram in Spain represents an alarming step backwards. Spanish society expects clear answers and concrete actions to protect their rights and safeguard the democratic process in the country.
