Summary
The presentation of the content "Thank you Mother" - under an advertising agreement signed with Miguel Millions (Guru Mike Millions) - in advertising blocks on the four television channels took place between May 25 and June 2, 2025, giving rise to around 9,500 participations by citizens and associations. In addition, the remission to platforms with the full version of the video "enhanced the possibility of access of children and adolescents to content of greater dramatic and symbolic intensity, a circumstance that could aggravate the risk of negative influence associated with its diffusion". The ERC Regulatory Board has also decided to refer the case to the Directorate-General for Consumers, as this is the authority responsible for investigating infringement proceedings against the Advertising Code.
Furthermore, According to ERC's analysis, the content, in addition to not being easily identifiable by the viewer as television advertising, was part of "the dissemination of ideas of political character and intentionality" , so its display as commercial advertising constituted a violation of the Advertising Code. The ERC also concluded that, in the case of content "with a promotional intentionality of a political nature - and not informative or educational - concerning the Voluntary Interruption of Pregnancy (IVG)", its dissemination was susceptible to "misleading the younger audiences as to the legitimacy and conditions of access to GVI" and to "promoting elements of social censorship regarding those who use GVI".
