A Spanish MEP has asked the European Commission whether it is aware of opposition groups in Spain that are blocking the implementation of the Digital Services Act (DSA), raising concerns about delays in enforcing the landmark regulation that affects online platforms, users, and national regulators.
The parliamentary question, submitted on 30 April 2026, does not specify which groups are involved or provide concrete evidence of obstruction. Instead, it calls on the Commission to clarify what steps it is taking to ensure Spain complies with its DSA obligations, including the designation of a national Digital Services Coordinator and the establishment of enforcement mechanisms.
The question contains no numerical targets or deadlines, but signals the MEP's concern that political opposition within Spain may be slowing down the transposition and enforcement of the DSA, which entered into force in November 2022 and became fully applicable in February 2024. The MEP appears to be pressing the Commission to use its enforcement powers under the DSA to ensure uniform application across member states.
The Commission is expected to reply within approximately six weeks. Its answer will indicate whether it shares the MEP's concerns and whether it plans to take formal action, such as launching infringement proceedings against Spain.
