[pp.int.general] Board meeting protocols of Pirate Parties

[Anouk Neeteson]

Hi Kenneth, can you give me the precise text in the Spanish LOPD ? I
am very curious how it states / defines:  " It's is strictly forbidden
to reveal the ideology of a person." ? And I can not find it, but
again my Spanish is really bad :)
