Bolaños asks Feijóo to withdraw the appeal against abortion and accuses him of being in the "most conservative" part of the PP

MADRID, 2 Sep. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Minister of the Presidency, Relations with the Courts and Democratic Memory, Félix Bolaños, has asked this Friday the president of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, to withdraw the appeal of unconstitutionality filed against the abortion law twelve years ago, at the same time that he has accused of being "installed" in the "most conservative part of the Conservative Party".

Bolaños' words come after Feijóo affirmed on Thursday that a minor between the ages of 16 and 17 should not have an abortion without parental knowledge, after the statements of the president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, who has been in favor that minors can voluntarily terminate their pregnancy without the consent of their parents but with their knowledge. The 'popular' leader later admitted a "legitimate discussion" within the party about abortion.

In statements to the press, Bolaños, who has ruled out entering into the "internal discrepancies" of the PP, has stressed that it is a "conservative party" that filed an appeal of unconstitutionality before the Constitutional Court to return to the law of assumptions of 1985, that twelve years later has still not been resolved. "It keeps Spanish women on edge," he lamented.

Thus, he has asked him to withdraw it "immediately" and has questioned whether the PP intends "for the same thing to happen as in the United States", where the Supreme Court has annulled the Roe vs. Wade, which recognizes the constitutional right to voluntary termination of pregnancy.
