  • Politics The Government charges against the surrogacy of Ana Obregón: "It is a form of violence against women"

The Obregón case has so revived the debate about surrogacy that it has pushed it to the center of the electoral pre-campaign. The Government and the parties are striving to mark their positions and reproach the contrary on a tricky issue that will return to the Congress of Deputies, since while Citizens has announced on Thursday that it will reactivate its law to regulate subrograde gestation, the PSOE proposes to harden the current regulations to "prevent" that you can go abroad to request this type of services and then register the babies in the registry Spanish. All while in the PP now consider that "it is not the time" to deal serenely with this issue.

The president of the Popular Party, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, has considered it necessary this Thursday to open a debate in public opinion to address and "order" surrogacy, although he considers that "it is not the time" now. "In Spain surrogacy is illegal, but there are Spaniards who are doing it" abroad and registering their children in our country, considered the leader of the opposition, so "we have to debate it, but it is not the main problem we have now in Spain. "

A day after the PP opened to regulate surrogacy as long as it is altruistic and there is no "commodification", the president of the formation has asserted that this is not yet his firm position: "There is no pronouncement of the PP more than to say that it is a debate that is on the table and that it must be ordered", has settled Feijóo from Lisbon. Precisely, the popular leader has given as an example Portugal, a country in which surrogacy is legal with certain "conditions".

Minutes before, the second vice president of the Executive, Yolanda Díaz, charged against the position of the PP and even defined as a "historical error" on the part of Feijóo that the training was willing to regulate surrogacy as long as there is no sale. "It seems very serious to me that the Popular Party fails to place itself in the field of violation of the rights of the most needy," said Díaz at his entrance to Congress, in line with what was exposed on Wednesday by both the Minister of Equality, Irene Montero, and the Minister of Finance, María Jesús Montero.

"In Spain the regulation is very clear, the regulation what guarantees is the fact that women do not become means but are an end in themselves and not a means to the end of other people through becoming pregnant entities," said the Minister of Science, Diana Morant, who has asserted that on this matter the Government is not willing to negotiate: "There is no debate."
