The Socialists decide to wait and not register their bill alone today, as they had announced at first
The PSOE park the emergencies. At least for a couple of days. Instead of registering this Friday alone, as they had announced at first, their proposal to change the “unwanted effects & rdquor; of the law of ‘only yes is yes’, with which more than 400 reductions in sentences for sexual offenders, the Socialists have chosen to give themselves more room in the negotiations they maintain with Podemos. This is a clear sign that both parties consider that there is still Any chance to reach an agreement.
“We do not have no interest to propose the change alone, but we cannot keep this issue open for much longer& rdquor ;, they explain in the socialist parliamentary group. “We continue negotiating & rdquor ;, they insist on the leadership of the PSOE.
For now, the new date chosen is next Monday, so the Equality ministries, led by Irene Montero (Podemos), and Justice, in the hands of Pilar Llop (PSOE), will continue exchanging proposals during this weekend to try to reach an agreement that allows the penalties to be increased. For the PSOE, everything happens to include the violence or intimidation at the graduation, but according to Podemos this would again cause the creation of two types, abuse and aggression, and would leave the consent out of focus, contrary to the original intent of the standard.
Even so, the date of Monday, they continue in the PSOE, it does not suppose a “red line & rdquor ;, but for that day “everything must already be quite clear& rdquor ;.
The parliamentary procedure
In any case, the lack of agreement before the start of next week and the hypothetical solo registration by the PSOE to change the rule would not necessarily mean that all jump into the air SSocialists and purples could reach an understanding during the parliamentary process, as they have done in other Equality regulations. The ‘trans law’, For example.
Irene Montero herself recalled this precedent, in a few words intended to de-escalate the confrontation of the last days. “I don’t set any limits. What I want is an agreement. My team and I are working all the necessary hours, just like the PSOE does,” said the Minister of Equality this Friday in an interview on RNE in which she also ruled out taking a step back in the Government, something that would mean the rupture of the coalition, if an agreement is not finally reached.
From the PSOE, its general deputy secretary and finance minister, Maria Jesus Montero, he also showed a conciliatory attitude. “Politically we agree. Is about a technical question he said from Cádiz. I trust the agreement, we agree that consent is at the core of the law, we agree that the penalties are not reduced and that the only way is to reform the legal text itself with settings techniques that allow us to avoid those unwanted effects that have caused pain to many victims due to the reopening of wounds& rdquor ;.
