The Congress of Deputies has approved the Law regulating the protection of people who report on regulatory violations and the fight against corruption (also known as the Whistleblower Protection Act). It aims to protect people who report possible regulatory violations or acts of corruption in the workplace and public sector. This rule transposes a European directive into Spanish legislation.

The approval of this law is another step in promoting a culture of transparency and ethics in public management.
