Elections.Twitter suspends the Vox account at the beginning of the campaign in Catalonia for linking immigration with crime
Vox
has filed a complaint on Monday against the social network
and its representative in Spain,
Nathalie Picquot
, considering that the blocking of the training account implies an injury to their fundamental rights, the false accusation of a hate crime and the commission of another of insults and slander, indicate sources of the political formation.
Last week Twitter temporarily suspended the official Vox account a few hours after starting the electoral campaign in Catalonia following a message in which immigration was linked to crime, and that the social network considers an "incitement to hatred" .
This political party maintains in the brief presented before the Madrid Investigating Court that the right to freedom of expression of this political group is being violated during the electoral period, causing serious damage to its image and to its ability to disseminate its program for the elections, for which he requests the immediate return of the account as a precautionary measure.
Prohibition of dissemination of political ideas
Santiago Abascal's
formation
maintains that the fundamental rights affected by Twitter's decision are the right to information and political pluralism, by applying a disproportionate measure that departs from the constitutional interpretation of the limits of freedom of expression;
the right to political participation, by closing a channel for the participation of members and sympathizers and prohibiting the dissemination of certain political ideas;
and the principle of equality, by not interpreting the publications of other political groups in the same way.
In addition, the complaint considers that a violation of the right to honor is also committed by falsely imputing a crime to Vox, defamation of this formation by falsely accusing it of a hate crime.
Specifically, the defendants are Twitter Spain, SL and "all those people who during the mandatory investigation of the case could be responsible for the facts that are the subject of the complaint."
