Spanish Congress permanently revokes Vito Quiles' press acc

Overview

The Spanish Congress of Deputies has permanently revoked the press accreditation of political influencer Vito Quiles, a contributor to the digital outlet ‘Estado de Alarma’. This decision, reached by the Chamber’s Board (Mesa) with support from the PSOE and Sumar parties, follows the accumulation of six serious infractions.

These violations included the unauthorized distribution of images from within parliamentary buildings and the disruption of press conferences. This measure marks the first time the Chamber has applied the maximum sanction of permanent revocation under a 2025 regulatory reform specifically designed to prevent the harassment of parliamentary representatives.

The revocation concludes a period of escalating disciplinary actions against Quiles, who previously served a three-month suspension in May for recording unauthorized footage of former President José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero. The final decision follows complaints from political groups and the Association of Parliamentary Journalists, who cited the ‘gravity of the described behaviors’ and an intention to ‘seriously alter the normal functioning of the Chamber.’
