Legal proceedings in Spain have addressed various allegations involving institutional responses to bullying and school management.

In Galicia, the Supreme Court upheld a 9,000 euro fine against the Xunta de Galicia. The court found that the regional administration’s response to a bullying case in Negreira was not “complete” or “sufficiently effective,” noting a lack of psychological support for the victim and failures in official duties despite evidence of physical aggression.

In Catalonia, a lawsuit has been admitted regarding the Pare Manyanet schools. The religious congregation owning the schools is seeking 70,000 euros in damages from the parents of two former students who died by suicide. The congregation alleges the parents violated their right to honor through public statements concerning school inaction on bullying and sexual harassment, while the families characterize the suit as an attempt to silence them.
