• Coalition PSOE and Podemos saved 'in extremis' the Animal Welfare Law to avoid aggravating the rupture in the Government

  • Politics The Government bleeds to death for the 'only yes is yes' law, but rules out breaking: "There are only a few months left"

The internal struggle open within the

Government

on account of the reform of the law of the

only yes

is yes

has caused the erosion, wear and tear and even discredit of a law designed and promoted to give greater protection to women.

But the battle to raise or not the sentences implemented, after the wave of sentence reductions for sexual offenders, and how to do it, has placed the focus on this point of the norm, leaving all other aspects forgotten and in the background.

In the Government, in the socialist sector, they are aware of the loss of credibility that, on the one hand, the open internal war between PSOE and Podemos entails, which has even led to the fact that right now there is no dialogue between Justice and Equality and the dialogues in the last few days is broken;

and on the other, the acceptance of the PSOE, not of Podemos, in the face of the "problem" and the "social alarm" created that the law is "imperfect."

The Law for the Comprehensive Guarantee of Sexual Freedom, known as the law of

only yes is yes

, is one of the flagship laws of the Executive in feminist matters, one of the most important in the legislature and one of the most ideologically important.

For this reason, because it is a mainstay in the feminist message for which the PSOE and Unidas Podemos are fighting, here too, the socialists have rolled up their sleeves to defend the benefits and protectionism granted by the norm, beyond their unalterable decision to reform them. penalties upwards

"It is a good law", is the phrase repeated by all the socialist officials who appear and who are asked.

"It is a law that protects women," they add.

In the PSOE they strive not to leave out of focus, as is happening, all the content of the norm, which they define as "good" in everything that concerns "protection, security, the establishment of better conditions for women ».

Pedro Sánchez himself, at dawn from Thursday to Friday, after the

Council of Europe

, alluded to this purpose of preventing the law from being stained: «The law is good, it grants greater protection to the victims of aggression, to women, and it had a completely different purpose and objective than what we are seeing unfortunately.

The desire, therefore, beyond the fact that the confrontation with Podemos is still in force, and, to this day, there is no agreement, is to highlight the "very positive aspects" of the law of only yes is

yes

.

"That positive part must be remembered."

From Podemos, yesterday Minister Ione Belarra tried to lower the tone and advocated an agreement "that respects consent, that maintains the heart of the law, but at the same time responds to the political objectives that the PSOE has for reform."
