Current situation of the artistic freedom in Spain
In recent years, several creators (rappers, writers, artists and playwrights) have been censored in Spain by different political authorities, with some of them condemned and forced to move abroad (i. e. the Valtònyc case, see below). These cases have highlighted the need to reinforce existing legal mechanisms to defend artistic freedom. The cultural and academic sectors have promoted an interesting debate in this regard, which is expected to influence political decision-making in the next years.
