Parliament decided to waive the immunity of Alvise Pérez, a Member of the European Parliament, following a request from the Supreme Court of Spain in connection with alleged offences committed in 2024.¶ The alleged offences relate to statements published on a Telegram channel that may constitute harassment, incitement to assault, coercion, or spreading hate via social media.¶ Parliament found no evidence of fumus persecutionis, meaning the legal proceedings do not appear intended to damage Pérez's political activity or Parliament's independence.¶

- The alleged offences are not related to opinions expressed or votes cast in the performance of his duties under Article 8 of Protocol No 7.¶
