Spain's Plan to Silence Spam Calls: New Law Promises Relief

Spain Fights Back Against Spam Calls: New Law Aims to Silence the Nuisance Spain is taking a firm stance against the incessant barrage of unwanted spam calls that plague millions. The government, responding to widespread public frustration, plans to implement a new law before summer to curb this nuisance. The key measure involves a new numeric code that must be displayed by all companies making commercial calls. Failure to comply will result in automatic blocking by phone companies. "It's impossible to escape them," laments one citizen interviewed in the report, echoing the sentiments of many Spaniards. Another adds, "I have over 200 blocked numbers; it's relentless." This widespread frustration has fueled public demand for action. The Minister of Consumption, Pablo Bustinduy, has publicly supported the initiative. The new law will also nullify any contracts signed through unauthorized calls, further strengthening consumer protection. This comprehensive approach aims to bring much-needed relief to Spanish citizens tired of constant interruptions from unwanted solicitations. The implementation of this new code is expected to significantly reduce the number of spam calls and improve the overall communication experience for consumers.
