The alarms go off in the historical PSOE

• Politics The PSOE incites its feminists for accelerating the Trans Law and refusing to listen to the experts

• 'Only yes is yes' Felipe González urges the Government to correct the law: "It is poorly made, why don't they rectify it?"

The legislative overdose that Pedro Sánchez has printed at the end of the year before plunging into a long electoral campaign has already caused a virulent reaction in a large part of the political and social body.

First, the Trans Law, still unresolved and, later, the disastrous effects of the

law and the urgent repeal of the crime of sedition, have raised blisters left and right, including the very house of socialism.

These three initiatives have turned the PSOE upside down, first to feminism, then to the baronies and finally to the historical names of the party.

The last pronouncement against the strategy and decisions of Pedro Sánchez and his coalition government has been that of former president Felipe González, a voice that no one, neither from

nor from

, can silence.

González, in an interview with

3 and broadcast yesterday, gave his opinion on the two most controversial debates today: the Law on Guarantees of Sexual Freedom, better known as the law of

, and the repeal of the crime of sedition .

Regarding the first, he was blunt: «The invoice of the law is very defective.

It's badly done.

They should have corrected it immediately.

Why don't they rectify it?"

The former president urges the Executive to take action on the matter and review a rule that is causing very unwanted effects with the continuous reduction of sentences and even some releases of those convicted of sexual assault.

In his opinion, the general accusation that the Ministry of Equality launched against the judges, accusing them of failing to comply with the law and its misapplication due to an itch of machismo, is nothing more than "a rather useless generalization."

González avoids pointing fingers but stresses that the most obvious sign of populism is "giving simple answers to complex problems."

And he adds: "Since complex problems are still complex, we must look for someone to blame for the fact that the simple answer does not produce results."

In his opinion, "when you make a mistake, you have to correct it and not ask others to correct what you do wrong."

He clearly believes that the original sin is in the law itself and this is demonstrated by "the chain of decisions" that the judges have been adopting.

For this reason he concludes: "This is not a defect of sexist judges, it is a manufacturing defect of the law and whoever is wrong has an obligation to rectify."

Repeal of the crime of sedition

Regarding the repeal of the crime of sedition, the former president is no less exhaustive.

González flatly rejects the justification put forward by the Government that the objective is to "standardize" what until now in Spain was considered a crime of sedition with the legislation of neighboring countries.

"Not true," he says.

He maintains that what happened in September and October 2017 in Catalonia was an attempt to “disconnect from the

and the

.

A repeal of everything that connected them, unilateral and unconstitutional.

And that, he points out, cannot be classified as public disorder.

That, and there he makes use of the laws of other European countries, is "high treason."

Felipe González spoke yesterday in these terms, after the president of Aragón, Javier Lambán, warned of the dangerous drift towards independence in which, in his opinion, Spain finds itself and insisted that, far from what the Government believes, the Catalan challenge "is not solved".

Lambán believes that nationalism "is calm because its roadmap is being carried out" thanks to the concessions of the coalition Executive.

From his point of view, Sánchez "will end up disappointed in the possibilities of reaching reasonable agreements with the Catalan independentistas."
