PSOE and UP defend the law of 'only yes is yes' while the PP makes them ugly by giving "instructions" to judges with its amendment

The 'popular' criticize that Llop puts himself "in profile" and Vox blames her for a rule that is "a failure"

MADRID, 13 Dic. (EUROPA PRESS) -

PSOE and Unidas Podemos have defended in the Congress of Deputies what is known as the 'only yes is yes' law against the Popular Party, which has accused the government parties of giving "instructions" to judges for the application of the rule with the amendment presented this Tuesday.

Socialists and 'purples' have accused the Popular Party of trying to "get revenue from the suffering of the victims" and of being interested in equality only "when it smacks of political opportunity." The 'popular', for their part, have urged the head of Justice to "account for the serious consequences caused by the entry into force" of the comprehensive guarantee of sexual freedom law, known as the "law of only Yes'.

The 'popular' have voted for the third time on an initiative in which they ask the Government for an "urgent" review of the aforementioned law. The PP deputy María Jesús Moro has been in charge of defending that motion asking the Executive to urgently review the law. "We live black weeks, but we ask that they take care of the victims: that they ask for forgiveness for their mistakes", she has snapped.

In this context, Moro has criticized the "profile positioning" of the Minister of Justice, Pilar Llop, who has warned: "It is better to lose a position than personal and professional dignity." And it is that, in his opinion, the head of the department "cannot be an active participant in giving instructions to the judges" so that they apply the law.

The 'popular' deputy has charged against PSOE and UP after the introduction in the explanatory statement of their proposed law to repeal the crime of sedition and modify the crime of embezzlement, an amendment that will serve as a guide for judges to interpret the aforementioned law .

"Now do we give warnings and instructions to the judges from the explanatory statements?" Moro asked himself, who pointed out, in reference to Llop, that "the best milestone a person can have on their resume is integrity and coherence". "It ends up not surprising any more outrage. What remains for us to see? I'm afraid to ask that question", he has settled.

The deputy of the PSOE Andrea Fernández has regretted that the PP is dedicated to "inflame the public debate" instead of proposing. "Spain would appreciate it much more if you dedicate your time to work instead of generating controversy. An issue as complex as this deserves more consideration, respect and less frivolity," she stated.

In this line, the socialist has maintained that "in matters of equality" the PP "only knows how to sit back, file appeals of unconstitutionality or, at most, join the slipstream." "They are only interested in equality when it smells of political opportunity: they are very agitated and have little proposal," she has directed him.

Thus, Fernández has criticized that the party led by Alberto Núñez Feijóo is incapable of "recognizing the virtues of the law, which addresses all dimensions of sexual freedom." "They cannot be so Manichean. I would ask them to stop reducing the debate to one of penalties because it is not fair. This law is much more than that," he added.

In a similar line, the deputy of United We Can Martina Velarde has expressed herself, who has assured that "it is sad and painful that, without having any proposal, the only intention" of the PP is "to use the victims as they usually do".

"There are two ways to do things: how equality and the majority of this chamber do them, which is by expanding rights and another, which is trying to get political revenue from the suffering of the victims. I hope and wish that they can live with that slab," he has snapped.

In defense of the law, Velarde has asserted that, with it, "the rights of women are more protected and expanded." The norm, she has pointed out, "covers issues that the feminist movement had been demanding for years." And, she has added, it was reviewed by different bodies such as the Council of State, the Fiscal Council or the General Council of the Judiciary.

"Moro says that the law is wrong. Why? They don't know how to make any proposals and their motion does not contain any. It is well written and neither report nor you warned of possible wrong interpretations of the law. Nobody said anything about it. Yes they are so smart and intelligent, why have they not presented any proposal? Because the law does not suffer from the defect that they say", he concluded.

For her part, Vox deputy María Ruíz Solás has criticized the "tremendous irresponsibility" that in her opinion Llop committed by letting the head of Equality, Irene Montero, get away "with hers". "That those who have demonstrated legal illiteracy impose their fanaticism at any price. They should not have put themselves in profile," she has maintained.

In this sense, Ruíz has stressed that "the failure" of this law is Llop's, which he has asked not to sell the rule "as progress." "They have lowered the penalties for rapists. They protect criminals more than their victims. Let's call things by their name. The only thing they have achieved is that the criminal wins as always. So please, don't say that again this law protects us," he claimed.

Vox, who has presented an amendment to the PP motion, has stressed that Llop "had a greater responsibility" in the preparation of this law while regretting that there is no "arrangement". "We cannot prevent sexual offenders from taking to the streets, with the consequent risk to women," he concluded.

The Foro Asturias deputy, Isidro Martínez Oblanca, who has announced that he will vote in favor of the motion, has focused on the "worrying signs of democratic quality" of the Government of Pedro Sánchez. "Llop's contemptuous response reflects the unfortunate drift of the Executive, which is accelerating the destruction of the constitutional framework", he has criticized.

Thus, and after regretting that "more than fifty rapists" have "benefited from the colossal cracks in the law", Oblanca has defended that the initiative of the PP "is essential to urgently correct the very serious inaccuracies" of a norm that "has exposed the painful legislative production" of the Executive.

Lastly, he highlighted Llop's "manifest inability to defend in the Council of Ministers and outside of Moncloa the disqualifications that have been leveled at the judges". "With his attitude and complicity, Llop is also directly responsible for a disturbing drift for Spain," he pointed out.

The deputy of the PNV Joseba Agirretxea has made it clear to the PP that his formation will not fall "into the temptation of biting the bait" that his motion supposes. "They are in another war, they have hooked on soft tissue and they do not want to let go. With the excuse of some sentences you are going for everything. It is a magnificent opportunity to be able to undermine the government and take away everything they catch along the way," he said. sustained.

For her part, the deputy for Citizens Sara Giménez has advocated working to correct the errors in the norm while asking the PP not to renounce the advances contained in the law. Similarly, she has demanded that PSOE and UP not blame or criminalize judges for its application.

Junts parliamentarian Pilar Calvo has announced that she will not support the 'popular' motion, explaining that if changes to the law have to be made, they can count on their formation. "I'm not going to support her because what I want is for us to talk to each other," she concluded.
