Twitter Bans Spanish Deputy for Writing "Amen" in Support of the Holy Week

Country: Spain

Date of incident: April 8, 2022


Twitter censored the deputy of the VOX party in Spain, Víctor Manuel Sánchez del Real, for writing "Amen" and the cry "Long live Christ the King", in support of the Holy Week. The social network considered that the deputy's publications did not comply with Twitter's rules, by "publishing private information" and demanded that he deleted it in order to unlock his account.

Father Juan Manuel Góngora from the diocese of Almería, who made the complaint public, also shared screenshots of a dialogue with the Spanish deputy, in which the latter says he is facing a "moral dilemma": “I have not done anything and deleting would mean accepting that I have done something wrong” and “this attack arises from having said yesterday 'amen' in defense of being able to congratulate Holy Week”.

Sánchez del Real added, "if they can do this to a public official, what can they not do to a kid with his account saying what he thinks".

Father Góngora also clarified that “Long live Christ the King” is not "one of Franco's slogans" nor an ideological motto, but "a Christian praise verbalized just before the execution, by the martyrs who suffered the persecution of the communist and Masonic terror against the Church".
