Spanish centre-Right party Ciudadanos has asked the country’s government whether any of its aid money could have supported projects that offer anti-gay ‘conversion therapy’ overseas, following an openDemocracy investigation.

“What mechanisms does Spanish cooperation have in place to ensure that public resources are not used for these or other practices that are contrary to the most fundamental rights and freedoms?” party representatives also asked last week.
