The Parliament in Madrid ordered the investigation after the newspaper El País raised the alarm in 2018 that a culture of abuse had quietly flourished in the church in Spain. Now Gabilondo has compiled material, among other things, in the form of testimonies from more than 8,000 people.
In the report he presented on Friday, Gabilondo denounces the silence of all “who could have done more to prevent” the exploitation, reports El País. And he proposes a fund for all those victims who “deserve to be heard, cared for and compensated”.
