Abstract

Spanish constitutional jurisprudence has introduced a single absolute limit to the freedom of speech and information: the prohibition of insults. Thus, it is configured as a negative requirement for the constitutional validity of the exercise of the right. This work analyses what that character means. Furthermore, it delves into the definition of an operational concept of insult, taking into account both Spanish doctrine and comparative experiences.
