Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez is pushing for a new media law aimed at boosting transparency and combating disinformation. This initiative, part of a broader plan for 'democratic renewal,' seeks to create a registry of media outlets and crack down on those deemed guilty of spreading disinformation. The plan also targets 'pseudo-media' companies. However, the conservative opposition has criticized the plan, labeling it as an attempt to censor critical media.
