In the Government there is the conviction of exhausting the legislature, the mandate.

Action is predicated on socio-economic recovery.

But it is not lost of sight that 2022 is the landing strip for the municipal, regional and general elections.

The Executive has drawn up its roadmap for this course: it bets on social and economic measures and parks those that are more controversial and difficult to manage. For example, La Moncloa is committed to promoting the abolition of prostitution, but the reform of the Penal Code committed to reduce the crimes of sedition and rebellion or changes in the Royal House to increase its transparency is frozen.

"That is not the priority now," government sources say when asked about these two commitments that are now stranded in the drawer. The Council of Ministers approved this Tuesday the Annual Regulatory Plan for 2022, which is a reflection of the regulations that the Executive, with the permission of its governance partners, wants to promote. Namely, 368 normative proposals, of which 92 are laws (11 organic and 81 ordinary) and 276 are royal decrees. Almost four out of every 10 laws (38.2%) develop commitments from the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan (PRTR).

And among them does not appear the reform of the Penal Code that includes the reduction of the crimes of sedition, rebellion and insults to the Crown.

At the time, it was one of the great normative bets of the Executive, when the Catalan conflict was still boiling and the Government was looking for how to steer the relationship with the independentistas, whose votes were, and are, key to governance.

It was promised to do it in 2020, to adapt the penalties to European standards, but neither then was it consummated nor will it be resumed now.

Nor does a Crown Law appear among the government's claims, not even reforms to advance the transparency of the Royal Household, a purpose launched by the Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, at the end of 2020.

Goals in 2022

Yes, there is a block of this normative plan dedicated to democratic regeneration, in which the Government emphasizes measures such as the law for the prevention of interests in the public sector, regulating second activities, and the transparency law, with a focus on in regulating relations with stakeholders. "There will be no reference to the Royal House", has settled Félix Bolaños, Minister of the Presidency.

"The year 2022 we consider as an important year in economic recovery, make a second economic transformation in Spain and advance in rights and freedoms. These priorities make us present a roadmap and there are rules that are in line with these objectives. and others that are not because they are not, such as the reform of the Penal Code, "said Bolaños, who emphasized the message that the Government wants to convey:" Economic growth and dignify the lives of citizens. " What does not meet this criterion is excluded from the agenda.

Thus, this year will be the one to promote measures such as the Housing Law;

regulations for equity, universality and cohesion of the national health system;

a social services law;

another against racism and other forms of intolerance;

a reform of the law for the comprehensive protection against gender violence;

the comprehensive action law against trafficking in human beings - in which the PSOE and United We Can debate how to deal with the abolition of prostitution, as they have different sensitivities-;

the modification of the law on sexual health and voluntary interruption of pregnancy;

the so-called Trans Law;

or a regulation for the implementation in Spain of the common agricultural policy management system.

Socio-economic bet in order to grease the Government with the electorate for the electoral cycle.
