Spain fines festival promoter €320,000 for abusive clauses
The short version
Spain fined the promoter of the Reggaeton Beach Festival 320,000 euros for including abusive clauses in its contracts. The sanction, imposed by the Ministry of Social Rights, affects consumer rights and requires the elimination of the sanctioned regulations.
The Ministry of Social Rights, Consumption and Agenda 2030 of Spain imposed a fine of 320,000 euros on the promoter of the Reggaeton Beach Festival.2 The sanction is due to the introduction of abusive clauses in the festival's contracts, according to the ministry led by Pablo Bustinduy.2 The ministry considered that the clauses limited the rights of consumers.2
The fine was imposed following a complaint filed by the organization Facua-Consumidores en Acción.2 As part of the penalty, the developer must remove the rules that were the subject of the complaint.2 Pablo Bustinduy is the Minister of Social Rights, Consumption and Agenda 2030 of Spain.2,1
Bustinduy stressed in an interview that presenting the Budgets is no excuse to justify political actions.1 The minister mentioned that his government managed to pass a reform of disability and dependency laws in the lower house.1 Bustinduy said the disability and dependency law reform is expected to take effect in early fall.1
