Judge dismisses Errejón's defamation lawsuit against actress

A Spanish judge has dismissed a defamation lawsuit brought by former politician Íñigo Errejón against actress María de la Villa de la Torre, known as Mouliáa. The court found that the actress's statements on social media did not constitute defamation.

Investigating judge María Tardón ruled that Mouliáa's posts expressed her personal opinions and did not attribute any specific criminal conduct to Errejón. The actress had made comments on social media that Errejón's legal team argued were slanderous.

Errejón, a prominent figure in Spanish politics, had sought legal recourse after the actress's online remarks. However, the judge's decision supports the view that the statements were within the bounds of free expression of opinion, provided they do not cross into alleging specific illegal acts.

The ruling underscores the legal distinction between expressing an opinion and making a factual claim that could be defamatory. In this case, the court determined that Mouliáa's statements fell into the former category, leading to the dismissal of the lawsuit.
