Key findings
An analysis of the evolution of the Jurisprudence from 1995 to 2011 on the application of the Art. 510 of the Criminal Code.
The Constitutional Court (STC 235/2007) and the Supreme Court (259/2011 STS) did pronounce on the issue but there were almost no application of the criminal type in question.
The effective implementation of these criminal types, Article 510 and art. 607.2 of the Criminal Code, contrasts to the disturbing rise of xenophobic instances and incidents.
The reasoning of the Constitutional Court evolves by advancing the standard of incitement to hate and being more and more attentive to the «context» in which this takes place.
