"Mr President, Commissioner Reding, my country has taken too many steps backward since the People’s Party came to power: there have been repeated, continual attempts to retreat on consolidated rights, as seen by the silencing of those who express dissent, such as consumer associations. The threat to the FACUA-Consumers in Action group, which is an encroachment on Articles 16 and 17 of the Spanish Constitution by Ms Mato’s ministry, is a dangerous attack not only on freedom of expression and opinion, but also on the right of consumers to a high level of protection, which are basic principles of democracy set out in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union.
I therefore call on Mr Rajoy’s government to reverse the outrageous attempt to ban FACUA, and I call on the Commission to guarantee the protection of Spanish consumers’ rights and to take action against the attempts by Spain’s current government to erode the rights and functions of consumer associations."@en1
