Discrimination in access to information in Spanish disability legislation

Abstract

It is our objective to show, in this paper, an overview of the Spanish regime of discrimination, in the right to information. In this sense, if the sender interposes obstacles or barriers to access, based on no rational criteria, we will be in a case of our study, a case of discrimination. We will stop on the legal provisions established for the benefit of disabled people, for the right to information,. In this regard, we also observe the legal regime established for cases where there has been a discriminatory act. It might seem that, in the year 2014 and in a digital era of free access to contents, information flies to those in need, without restrictions of any kind. Well, this thought, that may be true for certain subjects, it is not for many others as well the format of the information, but its contents are not set as accessible.
