A deputy asks to criminally punish hatred of man or misandry

   MADRID, 15 Abr. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The independent deputy Pablo Cambronero, belonging to the Mixed group in Congress after his departure from Ciudadanos, has registered in Congress a non-legal proposal that asks the Government to expressly include misandry in the Penal Code, as hatred of man or male for the fact of being.

In the initiative, collected by Europa Press, it is also claimed that an aggravated criminal subtype be included for when the people who exercise this misandry are public officials.

Cambronero demands in his initiative the reform of article 510 of the Criminal Code that contemplates hate crimes and that in its "broad wording", as he indicates, "does not contemplate specific exhibitions of hate with a clearly sexual or biological origin" such as "misogyny nor misandry".

According to the deputy, "seeing the current casuistry" both situations "should be contemplated in the Fundamental Criminal Law of the legal system" in Spain.

"Public manifestations of hatred against an entire biological gender are shown to go unpunished on practically all the occasions in which they occur, above and above all, the manifestations of hate made with publicity carried out by even officials and public representatives against men for the fact of being men", denounces Cambronero in the recorded text.

In it he explains that Misandria "is a practically unknown word, and not only grammatically speaking, but also legally" which is, in his opinion, "much worse". As he has pointed out, this situation "clearly threatens the most fundamental right contemplated in the Spanish Constitution of 1978" which is "Article 14 (right of equality)".

That is why it calls for the inclusion in article 510 of the Penal Code of the terms misandry, as a manifestation of hatred for men for the fact that they are, and Misogyny as a manifestation of hatred for women for the fact that they are and that they must be punished with the penalties established in said precept. That is, from six months to two years in prison.

The non-legal proposal also calls on the Executive to condemn the demonstrations by the Secretary of State for Equality, Ángela Rodríguez, in which she "refers to the fact that 'men are rapists'" and asks that "they dismiss her suddenly and even from account to the State Attorney General's Office so that possible criminal responsibilities can be settled".
