Compromís will abstain in the reform of the Criminal Code because it fears that it will allow the corrupt to avoid jail

MADRID, 13 Dic. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Compromís deputy in Congress, Joan Baldoví, has advanced this Tuesday that he will abstain in the plenary vote on the reform of the Criminal Code because, although he supports the repeal of sedition and the articles to unblock the renewal of the Constitutional Court , has "doubts" about the changes in the crime of embezzlement because he fears that they represent an "escape route" for some "corrupt" to avoid jail.

This is how he explained it at a press conference in the Lower House in which he also criticized the speed with which this reform has been undertaken, especially the one that affects the criminal offense of embezzlement that has been made via PSOE amendments and CKD. "This deserved a much more serene treatment, we have serious doubts and right now our position is not in the yes", he has indicated.

As he has detailed, these doubts reside in the fact that they do not see "legal certainties" that "no holes can be opened that allow the corrupt to escape prison." In fact, he has commented that this Monday the former mayor of Gandía, the 'popular' Arturo Torró, asked that the trial in which he is tried for corruption alleging this reform be suspended.

Asked if he considers that this legal modification is "a tailor-made suit for the independentistas", Baldoví has ​​recognized that this reform has been made "ad hoc" for "a certain situation" and has recalled that "all governments have agreed things with different groups to approve the Budgets".

"If this deflates the situation in Catalonia, go ahead, but be careful, it is not going to be a hole through which someone who has used public resources for other purposes can slip in," he insisted.

In any case, Baldoví has ​​indicated that, from his point of view, this reform of the Criminal Code does not "decriminalize" the calling of new independence referendums and that he considers it "legitimate" that ERC put a proposal back on the table to be able to hold that query. "Another thing is that what is finally agreed here will be done," he concluded.
