Spain Fights Back Against Spam Calls: New Laws Promise Relief

Spain Cracks Down on Spam Calls: New Measures to Silence Unwanted Calls. Spain is taking a firm stance against the persistent problem of unsolicited commercial calls. The Ministry of Consumption has announced new regulations that will force telephone companies to block calls from businesses that fail to use a specific identification code. This move aims to finally provide relief to citizens plagued by incessant spam calls. The issue of unwanted calls has been a long-standing concern for many Spaniards. Despite previous legislation, many continue to receive intrusive calls, often outside of reasonable hours. One citizen interviewed expressed their hope that the new measures will be effectively enforced, stating, "Espero que haxa alguén que mire que se cumpra" (I hope someone will make sure it's enforced). The new regulations represent a significant step towards improving consumer protection and reducing the nuisance of spam calls. The Ministry’s commitment to enforcing these rules will be crucial in determining their success in silencing these unwanted intrusions.
