The EU Comission denounces Spain: No rule of law as it is failing to comply the 61 % of the ECHR rulings

The Kingdom of Spain is failing to comply with the rulings of the ECHR, with 61% still pending, EU Comissioner for Justice, Didier Reynders reminds, and the average time of pending implementation is over three years. Spain is a deficient democracy where human rights don’t really matter.

The European Commissioner for Justice, Didier Reynders, in response to a question from Spanish MEPs, recalled that on January 1, 2022, Spain had 23 main judgments of the ECHR pending compliance. "On that date, the percentage of main judgments handed down during the last ten years and pending compliance in Spain was 61%, and the average period during which the judgments had been pending compliance was three years and one month", add.

Reynders recalls in his written response that compliance with the judgments of the Strasbourg Court, in particular with regard to the main judgments, is an important indicator of the functioning of the Rule of Law in a country, and that the report on the Rule of Law drawn up by the Commission has included this year for the first time an overview of the application of ECtHR judgments in each State.
