The Minister of Justice, Pilar Llop, will meet this Friday urgently with the interim president of the General Council of the Judiciary (FGE), Rafael Mozo, and with the State Attorney General (FGE), Álvaro García Ortiz, to address related matters with gender violence.

Although no specific point of the meeting has been revealed, it takes place after learning of the latest cases of sexist murders, and with the data on the table that in 2022 there have been a total of 48 murders of women at the hands of their partners. or ex-partners

The latest cases have been that of the 34-year-old pregnant woman who was murdered this Wednesday in Toledo, and the case of the 45-year-old woman murdered in Bilbao.

The 34-year-old woman murdered in the province of Toledo had an underage daughter and son and was pregnant, a few days after giving birth. In addition, there were previous complaints of gender violence against the alleged aggressor, as reported by the Government Delegation against Gender Violence.

For her part, the 45-year-old woman murdered in the province of Bizkaia had no sons or daughters and had also previously denounced her aggressor for gender-based violence.

With these cases, the number of women killed by gender violence rises to 48 in 2022 and 1,181 since 2003. In addition, the number of minors orphaned by gender violence rises to 38 in 2022 and 377 since 2013.

In this context, the Minister of the Interior, Fernando Grande-Marlaska, announced this Thursday measures against repeat offenders in the face of the rise in sexist murders registered this month of December and ordered the actions of the security forces and bodies of the Condition.

Thus, from the Interior, circulars have been sent to the Civil Guard and the National Police so that they "intensify the measures further." These instructions, which according to Marlaska are not new, "but a reminder", include the order to "prioritize the assessment most favorable to the victims and children".

The minister assured that the focus has been placed on those "difficult cases of especially vulnerable women or with persistent aggressors" who are considered more dangerous.

With regard to these aggressors, the Interior consulted the prosecutor of the Violence against Women Chamber delegate a month ago about the possibility of notifying the new partners of the persistent aggressors that they are within the VioGén system of comprehensive monitoring of the cases of gender violence.

"We are working on an instruction so that sight is not only placed on the victim, but also on the aggressor, because it is proven that in the case of the repeat offender there is a greater risk for a new partner, because the time for violence to materialize is shortened Marlaska added.
