The Second Vice President of the Government and Minister of Labor, Yolanda Díaz, reiterated this Saturday her commitment to banning Grok, the artificial intelligence system from X, the company owned by Elon Musk - a supporter of Donald Trump - and has called on the European Union to move forward with regulations aimed at safeguarding personal data against large tech companies and the US administration led by the far-right Donald Trump. Furthermore, she advocated for introducing legal modifications to increase control over distribution platforms and hold them judicially accountable when they break the law.
These statements were made during his participation in the forum 'Good Policies Are Possible,' part of the Käänne Festival, which is being held in Helsinki, the capital of Finland.
During her speech, as reported by 'ElConstitucional.es', Díaz insisted: "I believe Grok must be banned, what is happening today with our data must be banned, and we must legislate within the European Union on algorithms". Immediately after, she warned about the existence of "unfair competition" from American companies in relation to European ones, although she stressed that "the most serious thing" is that they are "hacking" citizens' private data.
The Vice President of Pedro Sánchez's government has considered that the time has come to firmly address the large multinational corporations operating in the digital sphere: "I am going after you, and if I have to change the Penal Code to bring you to court and make you comply with the law, I will do it". To conclude, she stated: "In other words, it's over with them going to ministries to say how rules should be made or to pressure them not to be made in a certain way," and added that they do not go to her ministry because "they know exactly what they will find."
Trump sharpens distancing from SánchezAs we have been reporting on ElConstitucional.es, diplomatic relations between the United States and Spain are going through a particularly tense moment. The lack of affinity between Donald Trump, increasingly radicalized in his positions, and the Spanish Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, is beginning to be reflected in concrete decisions in the international arena. One of the most significant is the exclusion of Spain from the preparations for the upcoming G20 summit, scheduled for December and organized on US soil.According to Bloomberg, this decision is part of the **Trump administration's** strategy to distance itself from some traditional partners while seeking to redefine the current global balance. The summit will be held on December 14 and 15 at a golf resort in Miami owned by Trump himself, and will bring together the world's major developed and emerging economies. Washington would be opting to reduce the influence of countries like Spain and other governments that do not fully share the White House's political line
