The right to insult to politicians

Commentary on Judgment 97/2017 of the Court of First Instance no. 3 of Marbella

Abstract

This paper tries to analyze, from a critical point of view, the judgment 97/2017 of the Court of first instance no. 3 of Marbella, which absolves the defendant of a possible illegitimate intrusion into the claimant's right to honor. This acquittal is based on the fact that phrases such as «son of a bitch» are protected by the right to freedom of expression when addressed to a politician.
