Mónica García, Spain’s Health Minister, responded to these movements by demanding that U.S. President Donald Trump “stop fueling the ultra-international agenda and interfering in everything”: “Spain is a serious country, with a solid healthcare system and a framework of rights that protects and cares for everyone, including those who choose to request assistance in dying with dignity in contexts regulated by law, assessed by clinical committees and approved by the courts,” the minister wrote on the social network X.

Why does the US want this investigated?

Because Spain is vocally against the war in Iran and has banned the use of their airspace by the US military. The US couldn't care less about this woman and the events that led to her decision.

This was their stayement: >We are deeply concerned about the allegations that Mrs. Castillo was repeatedly the victim of sexual assaults while under the tutelage of the state and that none of the aggressors were brought to justice." They said this with a straight face, while actively shielding their administration and rich friends from  facing justice for raping hundreds of kids in Epstein's ring.

For the record: she was raped years after leaving the care home and the aggressors were not brought to justice because she never reported it so it isn't known who they were.

I think the far right infospheres have been pushing a story that Noelia was assaulted by migrants. That there has been some cover up to protect these migrants. Except that this is an unfounded claim apparently pushed by her father's lawyer. I've read that Noelia herself never filed a police report and that the assailants behind the incident are unknown. But folks have turned the story political in their continued push to fuel the anti migrant propangda machine.

We elected a diaper shitting Fox News addict who saw the story and got mad about it and started yelling his mad thoughts out at people and because he’s president we all have to act like it’s something official and respond accordingly even though we should all know by now it’s just random ranting before he moves on to his next outrage

Because Trump is vindictive and vengeful by nature. His sycophants know, so if Trump didn’t directly ask for this his sycophants recognized an opportunity to buy favor with their god emperor. That is it. Spain is vocal against the U.S. currently so Trump will love and reward anyone who does anything against Spain.

Notwerk Apr 1, 2026 +2
Why does Trump do anything? Spain refused to join him in his stupid war and has a president that's vocally opposed to the Russian/AIPAC agenda. So he's personally aggrieved and the people that pull his strings are mad. So, he's off to stir up a culture war and spread his dog whistles among Spanish fascists and monarchists because that's what he does.

Even as a US person who's extremely politically aware Im baffled.  The religous right here has tons of weird picadillos and focuses sometimes but assisted suicide is even for them not high on the list really as far as I can tell.  And any 'investigation' will go nowhere cause its a spanish citizen in spain operating under spanish law and they're not just gonna hand over their private medical records to the US so even IF there was funny business (doesnt seem like it) any 'investigation' wont even go anywhere. This one is pretty baffling even to this yank who's followed every turn of bullshit for the past 10 years.   Nothing will come of this besides pissing off Spain and the MAGA base doesnt even care about this they have far more hate for brown people in America they want to deport/kill.   Even Denmark had Trump's ego behind it and maaaaybe a natural resource argument but this?   Not a clue.

Spain's far-right party, Vox, as well as their Christian Democrat party (People's Party) were against allowing the euthanasia. So this is partly to support ideologically similar parties in a country that has a Socialist government that's been vocally critical of the US and Trump. Spain has an election next year with the PP projected to beat the governing Spanish Socialist Workers' Party with the help of Vox. But the Socialists are using their opposition to Trump to try and improve their popularity, which has worked some for left wing parties elsewhere (especially Canada). So embarrassing Spain's government or creating controversy boosts the Right. If it's done well enough then Vox can demand more from PP in exchange for governing with them.

You are incorrect, no one can be denied life saving healthcare in America, regardless of whether they can pay for it or not. It's literally a federal law. The problem with healthcare in America is the cost, not the quality or availability of care.

Wow, that is just cope. 'lack of Healthcare' is the term, which is easily verifiable by the number of people... who lack health care. It is just math. it is a NUMBER. Now you come in, totally ignorant of the actual argument, and try to say... what exactly? That federal law guarantees health care? It doesn't. That only critical conditions cause death? Not even gonna meet the bar of 'usually'. Healthcare is a carrot in the US. A lever being used to cull the herd.

I want to say "I don't understand what this does for him" but I know it's just pandering to his base and distracting from the Epstein files... but let's say this is a normal world and a normal ~~dictator~~ president: what does telling Spain "you're doing it wrong" in this particular case, do for the president of the US or the country? Spain isn't going "hey look you can go kill yourself legally here" or "hey other countries you should do this too." The woman is a Spanish citizen who went through the proper channels to get this done within the Spanish law and her case got confirmed in 5 separate courts. It's just pure political right-wing brownie point farming from the Orange man.

If Spain were serious they wouldn’t let their women and children be victimized en masse Reported r*** cases and sexual assaults in Spain have experienced a significant, consistent increase over the past decade. Data indicates that reported cases of sexual assault with penetration rose from 1,382 in 2017 to over 5,200 in 2024, representing a substantial increase.

rocksaregrassarms Apr 1, 2026 +4
Are you a bot? How is this relevant? Also just to refute your point in 2023 the rapes per Capita in Spain was 10.15 per 100,000. In the U.S. in 2024 it was 38.0 per 100,000. Do you feel people are being raped in masse in the U.S.?

prettypurps Apr 1, 2026 -9
Spain is a fraction of the size of the US do you not understand how statistics work? My point is she was gang raped while placed in supposedly safe housing which lead to her injuring herself by trying to take her own life

rocksaregrassarms Apr 1, 2026 +4
I see your point in the case of this specific woman having something awful happen to her. But this is by no means normal. Also you don't understand statistics. That's what per Capita means - it literally means per population. How many rapes per population.

TheGreatGano Apr 1, 2026 +2
Very relevant to this discussion. Should we add the US r*** numbers (>1800 daily) and compare? To me it seems the point still stands, and at least compared to the US, Spain is a serious country.

> Data indicates that reported cases of sexual assault with penetration rose from 1,382 in 2017 to over 5,200 in 2024, representing a substantial increase. I have good news for you. That increase in "reported cases of sexual assault with penetration" is not due to an increase in cases of sexual assault, but is due to a law change in 2022. Before 2022 penetration only qualified as sexual assault if there was physical violence or the threat of violence involved. Since 2022, any penetration without consent is sexual assault. You can read about it here: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/aug/25/spain-only-yes-means-yes-sexual-consent-bill-expected-to-become-law
1
prettypurps Apr 1, 2026 +1
Sexual assaults as a whole have risen significantly even without penetration and even if you want to argue they haven’t risen it’s only better reported now that still doesn’t dismiss the overwhelming presence of sexual assaults. Not sure why everyone is so desperate to beat around the bush
1
spongeperson2 Apr 1, 2026 +1
I haven't said its due to better reporting. I have said that the definition of sexual assault with penetration was expanded in Spain in 2022, and provided an article which explains it. You can keep on believing whatever you want, but facts don't care about your feelings, bro.
1
prettypurps Apr 1, 2026 +1
I didn’t say you did, it’s the only other argument though. I don’t feel any kind of way I stated facts and most people wanted to project their insecurities onto it including yourself now. Your article doesn’t prove or disprove anything about the point or presence of this issue

spongeperson2 Apr 1, 2026 +1
Let's see. Do you live in Spain? If not, since when have you "known" these facts about "overwhelming presence of sexual assaults" in Spain, and how did you learn about them? What makes you confident that you're correct?
1
prettypurps Apr 1, 2026 +1
Read about it online yourself, read about it in most of the countries in Europe now. I’ve been keeping track and researching this myself for over ten years now, it’s not hard it’s only due to simple ignorance that more people don’t take the time to learn about it because it’s an uncomfortable topic due to the perceived implications. Spain, France, England, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Sweden, Italy.

There is plenty of reporting on this case since it's been such a big deal in Spain. So I feel pretty confident in the Spanish and European news articles that document this particular case, and the summarized statement I made about it. I'm also very confident in the documentation around the bullets I made around what is going on the US and that Spain has far more robust infrastructure for their citizenry. You seem to somehow assume that I'm an American, which I am not. And you also somehow seem to equate the behaviour of football supporters with the politics of an entire country? I'm not sure if you've ever seen proper football ... but those supporters can be absolute not jobs and really aren't representative. Maybe next time try and not make assumptions, and be clear in the point you are making. You sound really dumb and ignorant which really isn't doing you any good.

Dramajunker Apr 1, 2026 +6
That isn't what happened at all. Youre parroting misinformation. She was an adult when the assault happened. She was living in an apartment provided for at risk people her age. She made plans to meet up with a guy at a night club and that's where the others showed up and assaulted her. There have been two versions of events given. One by her father's lawyer, the father that wasn't actually involved in her life but legally tried stopping her from Euthanizing herself. Then there is Noelia's, which was done in an interview. She is the one who gave the story above. It also wasnt one incident that drove her to jumping off a roof. It was multiple.

It's not a lisp. It's the way we pronounce certain letters, and I'm not entirely sure why you act as if that sound wasn't part of English too. You pronounce it a Sloth, I pronounce it a Perezoso.

You know that's a myth right? The king thing. In fact that story only exists on the Anglosphere, no one from Spain has heard about it. The linguistics about the th sound is pretty interesting, I recommend you to look it up. I'm not sure what ma6 you think it's silly, our conversation is in English and it's fully of th sounds, and you wouldn't call the silly. You're just fueled by racism.
