The
Minister of Justice
, Pilar Llop, has questioned the star measure raised yesterday by the Minister of the Interior, Fernando Grande-Marlaska, to try to stop the rise of gender violence.
Llop has affirmed that the option of informing women that their new partner had previous complaints or a history of gender violence could affect the fundamental rights of men.
"We are going to wait and see what the State Attorney General's Office says, because there are fundamental rights that may be at stake and it would have to be analyzed technically," said the minister, referring to the report requested by the Interior from the Prosecutor's Office on the impact on the privacy of the men of whom that information was given.
Llop ratified his doubts precisely after having held an emergency meeting on gender violence with the State Attorney General,
Álvaro García Ortiz
, and the president of the General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ),
Rafael Mozo
.
The call responded to the wave of cases that has made December the blackest month since there are official records on the matter, with a dozen women dead.
"We have agreed on measures regarding persistent aggressors," Grande-Marlaska said Thursday.
"More than a month ago we consulted the State Attorney General's Office, the prosecutor of the Gender Violence Chamber, in order to find out how to inform the personal data of new couples without violating the fact that their current partner was in the VioGén System [Gender Violence] with third parties".
Llop has wanted to specify in his first words that the meeting has been limited to "only gender violence in the field of couples or ex-partners", different from others.
He was referring to sexual assaults, protagonists in recent months due to the reductions in sentences after the entry into force of the law of
only yes is yes
promoted by Equality.
clash of partners
On Thursday, Defense Minister
Margarita Robles
brought up these reductions in sentences after Podemos blamed PSOE ministries, particularly the Interior, for the uptick in gender violence.
A later note from Defense and Llop's words today try to stop the possibility of a clash between the two government partners in this matter.
The Minister of Justice has highlighted as useful measures against gender violence the specialization of the courts and of all those who participate in the attention to the victim who denounces.
She has insisted on the importance of reporting, since it is what allows defense mechanisms such as the restraining order to be activated.
What the minister did not want to draw conclusions from is the fact that among the victims in the last month the proportion of those who had requested protection was higher than usual.
In other words, about the little use that this complaint and subsequent measures would have to protect the woman.
"It is true that the data from recent years offer that approximately 80% of the murdered women do not report it. And it is true that in the last month there were several, a high percentage, who had reported it. That is why it is important to insist that women know that we are to help them", she said when asked specifically about it.
What he has said that works and should be strengthened are the telematic bracelets for those accused to guarantee their distance.
There have been "no deaths" in the cases where it has been implanted.
Beyond this measure, the joint note after the meeting highlighted that "they will promote the specialization and regionalization of judicial bodies to guarantee the same resources to victims of gender violence throughout the territory."
He has also criticized Vox, without expressly citing it, for not having signed the State Pact against Gender Violence.
"We must combat denialism. Denying that gender violence exists contributes to the fact that this violation of the human rights of women and children is not fought effectively."
