2024–2026 Spanish sexual misconduct allegations

A series of allegations emerged in Spain throughout 2024 to 2026, concerning the involvement of Spanish politicians and other prominent media figures in cases of gender-based violence and sexual harassment and assault.

Starting in October 2024 with allegations of sexual misconduct against the former Podemos political party founder and Sumar politician Íñigo Errejón, public focus shifted to multiple cases affecting various other parties, such as the ruling Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (most notably over the "Salazar affair" in July and December 2025, concerning allegations taking place in the prime minister's office), and the People's Party, which ruled in most of the country's autonomous communities at the time (with the "Móstoles affair" receiving broad coverage in February 2026). Alleged cases of sexual misconduct emerging during this period also involved politicians from the Vox and Together for Catalonia parties, the late Prime Minister Adolfo Suárez, or singer Julio Iglesias.

While most cases were independent and unconnected to each other, and some did not result in successful criminal proceedings nor in complaints being filed, the sudden emergence of allegations during this period drew comparisons to the sexual misconduct allegations that led up to the MeToo movement, triggering a cascade of resignations and dismissals while highlighting structural flaws in the internal management of political parties and other institutions, a lack of effective prevention mechanisms, non-compliance with internal anti-harassment protocols, and the persistence of a "culture of silence".
