The decision of the PSOE to abstain in the admission of the Trans Law in Congress, causing it to be rejected with the votes against the PP and Vox, opens the first great crisis with United We Can after the departure of Pablo Iglesias.

And it is that, the announced votes condemn the bill to be overthrown this afternoon, since the support of United We Can, Citizens, ERC, PNV, More Country and other forces are mathematically insufficient before the sum of the

noes

of PP and Vox.

Despite the fact that the PSOE announced yesterday that it was going to "facilitate the processing" of the bill, the announcement of an abstention leaves the initiative on a dead end.

The argument given by the General Secretary of the Socialist Group, Rafael Simancas, is that the text presented, which is practically identical to the one promoted by Irene Montero, is "improvable" and needs legal certainty.

And that this matter is being resolved in the Government.

The situation is like this. Irene Montero promoted from the Ministry of Equality what is known as the Trans Law but this has not yet been approved by the Council of Ministers because the first vice president, Carmen Calvo, has kept it in a drawer for months due to the strong rejection that she manifests to different issues included in the project, which is also harshly criticized by feminist groups more closely related to the PSOE. This issue cracks feminism since the sector closest to Unidos Podemos and

theory

jellies said law for recognizing the so-called gender self-determination.



Faced with this blockade within the Government, Pedro Sánchez's parliamentary partners undertook an ordeal registering as a pressure measure in Congress the same bill that had come out of the offices of the Ministry of Equality.

The maneuver was carried out by ERC, Más País, Compromís, Junts per Catalunya, Nueva Canarias and the CUP.

His plan was to force Calvo to unblock the bill and have it approved by the Council of Ministers.
