Spain is progressively doing this. Starting 2021, men and women will have the paid same parental leave of 16 + 2 weeks (non-transferable).

The main reason is fight against the discrimination from employers who think hiring women is inconvenient because they can go on parental leave for very long.

I believe men have 4 months of parental leave in Spain already, starting 2020.

It was 8 weeks on 2019, 12 on 2020 and 16 on 2021. Plus now men can also request "Lactancia" which adds an extra couple weeks.
