Tiesību uz vārda brīvību mijiedarbība ar pašvaldību tiesībām izdot pašvaldību plašsaziņas līdzekli
2018
Mūsdienās pašvaldību plašsaziņas līdzekļi satur ne tikai ar pašvaldības domes darbu saistītu informāciju, bet arī komerciālas reklāmas un sludinājumus, kas ir galvenais ienākumu gūšanas avots privāto plašsaziņas līdzekļu īpašniekiem. Šī iemesla dēļ sabiedrībā pastāv diskusijas par to, vai pašvaldību plašsaziņas līdzekļu izdošana nepārkāpj tiesības uz vārda brīvību, neapdraud privāto plašsaziņas līdzekļu pastāvēšanu mediju tirgū un nav pretrunā godīgai konkurencei. Par pašvaldību plašsaziņas līdzekļu lomu un saturu publiskajā telpā ir pausti dažādi viedokļi. Lai gan ir saprotams privāto plašsaziņas līdzekļu īpašnieku viedoklis par to, ka pašvaldību plašsaziņas līdzekļu izdevējiem nebūtu jāie…
Current caselaw discrepancies in the protection of national symbols and state representatives between the European Court of Human Rights and Spanish …
2021
Despite the general consensus about freedom of expression being a basic fundamental right on every democratic society, the debate about its boundaries has never found such a pacific agreement. Thus, the Spanish Penal Code has several articles that punish its abuse that are highly contested, like articles 490.3 and 543 that penalize the offenses directed towards national symbols or State representatives. This being so, this article examines the controversy generated by the application of this articles through the analysis of two judgements issued by the European Court of Human Rights against Spain, and a third one issued by the Spanish Constitutional Court that could follow the same path. Th…
On the Origin of Metaphors
2015
In this article I study the genesis of metaphors from an evolutionary perspective. Analyzing 414 cartoons published after the death of the cartoonists of the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, I propose a metaphoric founder effect with the metaphors “PENCIL IS A WEAPON,” “PENCIL IS A CARTOONIST,” and “PENCIL IS FREEDOM,” and a subsequent metaphor drift that creates many related metaphors. Additionally, the success of these metaphors turns the pencil meme into a very efficient and fast-spreading item representing not only the work of cartoonists, but also the fundamental values of Western culture, such as freedom of expression.
Derecho de acceso a la información : el desafío de una sociedad guiada por la transparencia en el ordenamiento jurídico español
2021
This study will address the two aspects of rights linked to information, the right to information and the right to information, to end with the formulation of some conclusions that, distancing themselves from a mere summary, seek to encourage doctrinal and political debate on assumptions that, being peacefully settled, should be reformulated in light of the repeated crisis of transparency. For this, it will be articulated by addressing, first, the most significant aspects of the right to information and its link with the right to freedom of expression, as well as the new challenges that these rights face in the digital age, to then analyze the right to information, its regulation in the Spa…

Disinformation and Hate Speech: A European Constitutional Perspective
2020
What balance should be struck between freedom of expression, as an essential right and value of any democratic society, and other constitutional rights when facing falsehood and extreme speech? How are Europe and legislators around the world reacting to the rise of online disinformation and hate speech, in the wake of mounting evidence of adverse effects on democratic processes? What is the most effective approach to address and tackle harmful practices over the Internet, if any? These are some of the pivotal questions that this book seeks to explore.
Risus abundat? Al confine tra libertà di espressione e violenza verbale
2022
The question that lies at the heart of this short essay concerns the effects of laughter on the relationship between the right to freedom of expression, on the one hand, and the potential exercise of verbal violence on the other. In short, the question we ask is whether the presence of laughter increases the spectrum of freedom of expression by reducing that of verbal violence, or, on the contrary, whether the very element of laughter does not laughter does not, on the contrary, determine a multiplication of violence in certain discursive situations.
