Derecho de manifestación en tiempos de pandemia

The health crisis provoked by COVID-19 has put at risk the exercise of certain fundamental rights; among them, especially the right to demonstrate whose exercise requires, by definition, the presence of several people at a given time and place, which would seem to contravene basic protection measures against the pandemic. The balance between the measures taken to combat the disease and the regular exercise of fundamental rights is the challenge facing all the actors involved: public authorities, judges and courts, the Constitutional Court and the European Court of Human Rights.
