Fixing ACOM
In May 2024, the ultra ACOM association already filed a contentious administrative appeal against the Ministry of Social Rights for the letters sent to Spanish companies in the Middle East to remind them of their obligations in terms of due diligence and respect for International Human Rights Law.
The Minister of Social Rights urged Spanish companies with notable activity in Israel to adopt the necessary actions to prevent them from contributing to human rights violations in Gaza. “This is an initiative that seeks to find solutions to end the genocide in Palestine and is framed as another action in the political line of the Government of Spain that seeks to recognize the State of Palestine and promote its entry as a full member.” at the UN”, they explained then in Social Rights.
In July 2024, the contentious-administrative chamber of the National Court rejected ACOM’s appeal after finding no irregularities.
ACOM also published a harsh statement against Minister Bustinduy in October 2024 after the ministry recalled in a circular the obligation to correctly label products that come from territories occupied by Israel in Palestine. The letter was a cluster of attacks as a “pyromaniac minister and describes the government as a “criminal association.”
Against this Tuesday’s decision of the Council of Ministers, ACOM can present a contentious-administrative appeal before the corresponding jurisdictional body within a period of two months.
Journalistic investigations have revealed that ACOM had influential politicians such as Juan Carlos Girauta on salary, who received 2,000 euros per month from ACOM for consulting work, as published by Public.
ACOM has been identified as an association close to right-wing and extreme right-wing postulates, and also for its repeated attacks against left-wing political forces.
