The lehendakari, Iñigo Urkullu, has affirmed that as the practical application of the law of “Only Yes Is Yes” generally favors or may favor aggressors and if it creates legal uncertainty, it will have to be reviewed.
This is how Urkullu reacted in today’s plenary to PP+Cs MP Laura Garrido decrying the “undesirable” consequences of a “nonsense” bill that, he recalled, had the support of the PNV in Congress to get ahead.
The Comprehensive Guarantee of the Sexual Freedom Act ended the distinction between abuse and assault by establishing that any sexual act without consent is an assaultbut also brought a reduction in forks of some sentences in their minimum sections that has led sex offenders’ defenses to ask for their sentences to be reviewed.
The lehendakari has assured that he appreciates the “spirit that lies” in this ordinance, which was passed, he said, with “broad parliamentary support” and in response to a “broad social demand”.
However, it has acknowledged that “undesirable consequences” have occurred in its application and has recalled that looking for an “urgent” solution based primarily on ensuring the objective of the law to “provide greater protection” for women.
According to him, that solution must be sought through the unification of the doctrine, or through amendment of the law or with both initiatives at the same time.
