MADRID, 10 Abr. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Government spokesperson and Minister of Territorial Policy, Isabel Rodríguez, has valued "positively the work of the political groups" to reform the Law of only yes is yes after the presentation by the Esquerra Republicana de Catalunya (ERC) and EH Bildu of about twenty amendments to the bill presented by the socialists.

"All political positions must be respected and of course the work of the groups; the interest we had is that this reform be activated and the changes are underway to avoid the unwanted effects of the law," Rodríguez explained in a interview in RNE collected by Europa Press.

The minister hopes to "find as soon as possible" with "the solution to avoid what has been a problem that has generated a significant social alarm." For Rodríguez, it is also "important" to transfer "tranquility to the citizenry" and complete the parliamentary process.

The amendments that Esquerra Republicana de Cataluña (ERC) and EH Bildu have registered in Congress reject the socialist proposal to partially return to the previous Penal Code and propose a new expanded definition of consent, as well as including violence and intimidation as aggravating factors in the crime .
