Clean hands no, Masturbation yes.

The Prosecutors’ Office of the High Court in Extremadura has archived the case brought by the far right wing group ‘Manos Limpias’ (Clean hands) against masturbation classes being promoted by the Junta de Extremadura.

The classes aimed at adolescents, called ‘El placer está en tus manos’ (The pleasure is in your hands), received widespread press coverage at their launch, and the right wing association considered that they incited self-abuse or onanism, and amounted to corruption of minors and the mis-use of public funds.

PSOE spokesperson in the region, Ascensión Murillo, gave a press conference on Monday to say the regional government would be using all the measures at its disposal to ‘reinstate the honour of the people who had been attacked’ in the case, and to recover the ‘reputation of our region’. She named the PP among those who should apologise, describing their attacks as an attempt to lynch the President of Youth Council of Extremadura, Laura Garrido.
