INTERNET BLACKOUTS SKYROCKET AMID UNREST FREE
The MEP Ernest Urtasun of the Greens–European Free Alliance, wrote of the plan, also on Twitter: In her latest proposal, Muñoz criticized the government for “refusing to consider” last year’s proposal.īut it seems not everyone in the world of Spanish politics welcomed Muñoz’s mining ideas. The MP has also warned in the past of the dangers of “over-regulating” the crypto sector,” claiming that this “could jeopardize the development of the industry and the investments” put down by crypto users. In summer last year Muñoz’s party asked the government to create educational resources to inform people about “the nature of” crypto, in addition to “a coordinated regulation of cryptocurrencies” both domestically and “in close collaboration with the European Commission” and European central banks.
Both Muñoz and her party have been active in the world of crypto policy, and, per Europapress, last year petitioned the government to adopt a “national strategy on cryptocurrencies” that would create “a clear and accessible information framework and security standards.” The proposal came from María Muñoz Vidal, MP for Valencia and a member of the liberal Ciudadanos Party. A pro-crypto Spanish MP has told the government it should offer bitcoin (BTC) and altcoin miners in Kazakhstan suffering from recent blackouts and bloody social unrest a new home in Spain – and that her nation should itself seek to become a hub of crypto mining and innovation.
