In the middle of a pulse between United We and socialist leaders of the Government like Carmen Calvo, first vice president, or Juan Carlos Campo, minister of Justice, the Government has approved the preliminary draft of the organic law of integral guarantee of sexual freedom. A regulation that the purple formation considers capital for its political endorsement and that has met with the reluctance of a sector of the Government, to the point that the norm has been "pruned" and polished by department as Justice to correct "errors". The new law, which now begins a long way - it is possible that more than a year passes until its approval - places sexual consent as the axis to judge sexual assaults and introduces new crimes such as "occasional harassment", known as harassment Street map.

The wording of this law has uncovered underground battles hitherto so far in the Government. Not only the struggle between Equality (We can) and Justice (PSOE) to reform the Criminal Code ex-process and outside the global reform that the Executive intends, which frames the reduction of the crime of sedition that benefits the prisoners prisoners by 1-O. Also between Vice President Calvo and Unidos Podemos, a bad relationship from the failed negotiation of 2019 and that the sources consulted blame the loss of skills in Equality and the fact of sharing political prominence with Iglesias.

In the midst of these political battles, with jobs until the last minute, the regulations intend to shield the sexual consent, known as' only yes it is yes', understanding that there will be no such consent 'when the victim has not freely manifested by conclusive external acts and unequivocally according to the concurrent circumstances, their express willingness to participate, "sources of Equality point out.

The legislation typifies new crimes, such as forced marriage, great mutilation or "occasional harassment", better known as street harassment. Specifically, the text refers not only to compliments, but also to actions that take place in places such as concerts, parties ... The law considers it a slight and fixed crime for this purpose penalties such as the permanent location of the accused, which may well be house arrest and away from the victim, community work for up to a month or a fine.

This crime, until now, was only planned in cases of domestic violence, among family members, within the scope of the couple or former partners. Now the fan opens.
