Editor’s note: A wave of criticism against anonymous accusations is sweeping across Spain, fueled by active solidarity with a female member of parliament who has faced serious attacks amplified by some media outlets. Back in 2025, Daily27 published this article examining the role of such attacks during the Inquisition and how their present-day successors use them to foster various forms of violence, particularly gender-based violence. Our newspaper’s pioneering approach is made possible by our commitment to grounding all our reporting in scientific evidence rather than vested interests, and by our ongoing dialogue with people from all walks of life, including the voices of victims.
