Manuel Villegas, the Health Councilor of Murcia, apologized for receiving the COVID-19 vaccine ahead of priority groups but refused to resign. His actions, along with over 400 health service workers who were vaccinated out of turn, have sparked calls for his dismissal by government partner Ciudadanos and criticism from other political figures. The Ministry of Health's vaccination protocol prioritizes frontline health workers and vulnerable groups, which has not been fully completed. The controversy has led to a crisis within the Murcia government and demands for transparency regarding a supposed 'VIP list' of vaccinations.

Spanish journalists are increasingly self-censoring due to job insecurity, societal divisions, and the polarized political landscape. Veteran journalist Paulino Ros admits to self-censorship after losing a job over reporting corruption. The Madrid Press Association's 2016 report highlights that 75% of journalists yield to pressure and often censor themselves. The resurgence of Catalonia's independence movement and strong social movements, such as the women's movement, have made reporting more contentious. Media outlets like El País and El Mundo are seen to have ideological biases, influencing the content journalists choose to report. The financial crisis has exacerbated job insecurity, leading to layoffs and media closures, which in turn increases self-censorship. Social media also plays a role in promoting self-censorship due to the immediate and sometimes harsh audience reactions.
