The PSOE assumes the defeat before

Irene Montero

and accepts the Trans Law as it is despite the fact that it considers that without its amendments the norm lacks a more "guarantee" and "legally more robust" framework as was desirable.

However, this Thursday he will vote in favor and join his seats to those of Unidas Podemos and those of the allied parties of the investiture bloc so that

Congress

approves it and sends it to the

Senate

for final ratification.

The long road of almost two years leaves deep wounds between the partners of the Government, as evidenced by the final debate in the plenary session of Congress, which was held this Wednesday, although the vote will be the next day.

In it, the PSOE has settled accounts with Unidas Podemos after intense disputes and accusations.

First within the

Council of Ministers

and later among the parliamentary groups.

The socialist deputy

Andrea Fernández

has reproached Unidas Podemos for its "pressure", throwing the

LGTBI community

on top of the PSOE at this time for wanting to introduce changes in the Trans Law.

"Ladies of United We Can, it is absolutely wrong to accuse my party of agreeing with the right to a setback of LGTBI rights. It is a lack of respect for a centennial party that has been essential and decisive in the fight for LGTBI rights, not only in Spain but throughout Europe", he said.

Fernández has "regretted" the attitude of United We Can, as well as its "stridency" and the "misuse" of the trans cause to exert "pressure" on the PSOE.

Thus, although the PSOE has finally decided to throw in the towel and has not wanted to defend its amendments until the last day after losing last week's vote in committee, the socialist head of Equality has claimed its right to "imagine a better law" .

And, therefore, to propose changes such as that young people between the ages of 14 and 16 have to go through a judge to be able to change their sex.

"We wanted to draw in a more guaranteeing way the rights that are recognized in this norm. We are committed to generating a more perfect, secure and legally more robust framework", she has deepened.

However, he has assumed that "unfortunately" none of the parties supported him.

Neither the PP.

And they lost.

But that they accept the result and the law in their terms to continue deepening and advancing in rights.

The pique of the PSOE and Unidas Podemos has been seen at another time.

The purple deputy Sofía Castañón has pointed out that the historic socialist Pedro Zerolo, already deceased, had to impose himself on some occasion to "party discipline" in the PSOE.

Words that Fernández has later made ugly and replied that this "never" happened because Zerolo "always had the PSOE with him" because he "did not follow voting discipline", but rather "marked it".

But the PSOE has another front that is more complicated with this law than United We Can: historical feminism linked to its party.

An important part discusses the Trans Law or directly rejects it outright.

Regarding this, Fernández has said that no law "solves theoretical debates" but rather "establishes rights" and that guaranteeing them is where all efforts must be "directed."

And that he is "sorry" for those who wanted the PSOE to make an "exception", but that a party that is the vanguard has to continue accompanying "all the conquests of social rights".

Montero: "Close cabinets and open doors"

Irene Montero

, the winner of this battle with the PSOE, intervened in the debate

, in which one of the victims is Carmen Calvo, whom Pedro Sánchez removed from the Government after opting for United We Can and not for the vice president in the duel in within the Council of Ministers.

The Minister for Equality has celebrated that with the Trans Law, Congress "closes cabinets and opens doors and windows to ensure free lives for all trans and LGTBI people."

"We always knew that the path was worth it. Just trying it was worth it. Getting even more", has influenced a speech in which he has recognized the difficulties and in which he has emphasized that it is a law that "depathologizes" and that allows people to fully live their identity.

"Trans people are not sick, crazy, monsters or criminals. You do not need guardianships," he said to defend gender self-determination.

Being minors one of the most controversial issues of the law, Montero has made an explicit appeal to them.

"This law is also yours. You are the future but above all you are the present," he stressed, and when the process in the Senate ends "it will be a present with more rights in a society that cares for and respects you."

"Never stop paving the way", he finished.
