The Government says that CyL has complied with its request but warns that it will act if its plans finally materialize

Bolaños will send the Board a letter to remind that the measures proposed prior to abortion are contrary to the law

The Government has accepted its request to the Junta de Castilla y León based on the letter sent to it by the Executive headed by Alfonso Fernández Mañueco, but in light of new statements by the spokesman for the regional Executive regarding the intention to adopt new measures to the attention of pregnant women who wish to abort, has warned that it will act if they materialize.

In a statement, Moncloa has reported that the Board sent a letter this Thursday in which it notified that "there has not been a de facto, nor any tacit act, since nothing has been carried out or approved within it" in relation to the plans that could undermine the right to abortion for what he considers that "he has formally complied with the requirement" that had been made from the Executive.

The Executive has considered that "this document of formal compliance with the requirements" made by the Government "supposes an official rectification of the intention initially expressed by the government of Castilla y León to proceed as announced on January 12 and reiterated in days later".

However, it has noted with "concern" the statements made by the spokesman for the Board in which he assured that the announced measures of offering women to listen to the fetal heartbeat and doing a 4D ultrasound in which he assured that they were going ahead, since that point to "a desire to violate current legislation on the voluntary termination of pregnancy."

In this sense, after emphasizing that this is a "circumstance that the Government of Spain will in no way tolerate or consent to", it has warned that "if despite formal compliance with the request sent" the Junta de Castilla y León "materializes, for Either way, her intention" to act outside the law in this matter, "will act, as to date, in defense of her own powers and the full exercise of the rights and freedoms of all Castilian-Leonese women".

For this reason, Moncloa has warned the Executive headed by Mañueco, that "the Government reserves the possibility of taking as many legal actions as are appropriate."

Thus, he has indicated that the Minister of the Presidency, Félix Bolaños, will send a letter to the Councilor for the Presidency of the Board to remind him "again that it is contrary to current legislation and our constitutional order of distribution of powers that an autonomous community adopt any measure" such as those that have been proposed in Castilla y León.
