FACUA replies to Movistar's threat of a libel action if the association mentions their name when reporting abuses

This Thursday, FACUA-Consumers in Action has replied to Movistar’s threat of a libel action if the association mentions their name when reporting abuses. In the document FACUA has sent, the association says that «mentioning the names of companies» which sell goods and services is the association’s duty. It is their obligation «informing and alerting consumers about practices that undermine their rights, protected by law and the Constitution».

This Wednesday, the association’s board of directors decided unanimously not to accept Movistar’s petition of stopping the use of «the manes, brands, icons or logos or any other distinctive or identifying image that is owned by the companies of Grupo Telefónica España«.
