Montero says that the CGPJ data on the 'yes is yes' generate "alarm" and urges them to provide complete figures

BARCELONA, 1 Mar. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Minister for Equality, Irene Montero, has warned this Wednesday that the "raw data" offered by the General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ) on the reduction of sentences for the "only yes is yes" law generates "alarm" in citizenship, for which reason it has urged the agency to provide complete data "for the sake of peace of mind".

"I hope that the CGPJ, for the sake of the tranquility of society and to contribute to caring for many people who are concerned, give the complete data in the shortest and fastest way possible. Just as it has extracted this data, surely what it does, when people listen to them, it is generating alarm," he said in an interview on TV3, collected by Europa Press.

In any case, he has defended that "with only one" reduction in sentences for sexual offenders under the application of the 'Only yes is yes' Law, the Government should already give an answer.

"The number is a question that does not matter so much, in the sense that with a single penalty that has been lowered and has generated social concern, we would already have to be giving an answer to the victims," ​​he said in an interview on TV3 this Wednesday collected by Europa Press.

Likewise, he has claimed that the transitional law in Spain is very consolidated, has said that the Executive reversed the lowering of sentences contemplated in the original version of the norm given the possibility that this would allow the sentence time to be reduced and has settled: "If fits in the new range of sentences, the sentence is not revised".

"We have to be able to give an answer because I understand the concern generated by these reductions in sentences, but that does not mean that the Law in the processing process was poorly done," he said.

And he has reflected: "The main problem we have in this country is not that a six-month sentence is reduced for an aggressor, the main problem we have is that the majority of sexual aggressors have not set foot in a police station or a court in their lives" .

The Minister for Equality has asked the PSOE to "sit down" to negotiate the reform of the rule after proposing a meeting between the government partners.

In this line, he has considered that there is "enough agreement" between the investiture partners in reaching an agreement that maintains consent at the center, in his words.

"No feminist advance that this Ministry and Government have promoted would have been possible without Bildu, ERC and the rest of the forces," she stated.

Montero has assured that before the entry into force of the norm, credibility as a victim depended on whether he could prove that he had resisted the aggression "and therefore how serious the marks on your body are."
