One year and five days later After being approved by the Council of Ministers, the new sports law completed its parliamentary process on Thursday, with the support of the Congress plenary, which accepted all of the Senate’s amendments.
With the approval and imminent publication of the text in the BOE, the applicable regulations will come into effect October 1990 and it will fulfill the Spanish government’s commitment to the European Commission to receive the European recovery plan funds, intended for the modernization of the Spanish model.
At this last session of the year, the deputies determined the final position of their groups before the law, the third of the democratic period.
The new law recognizes the right to exercise and sport and introduces, among other things, measures to promote equality and against any form of discrimination in sport on the basis of gender, sexual orientation, race or disability.
It defines the rights and obligations of athletes and distinguishes between professionals and non-professionals, high level (qualified by the Higher Sports Council), high performance (qualified by the Autonomous Communities) and occasional (those who obtain a license for a specific activity) . ).
Since its approval by the executive branch as a bill, the December 17, 2021 Until today, the law spent its first 11 months in Congress until it was passed by the plenary, which it had to return to this Thursday due to the subsequent passage of more than 20 amendments in the Senate.
The first key moment of his long parliamentary process was the 17th of Marchwhen the plenary session of Congress rejected an amendment by the entire Republican group (304 votes against, 33 in favour, and 5 abstentions), on the grounds that it violated jurisdiction.
Basque teams
The second was the October 25in a spirited debate in the Committee on Culture and Sport, where he lost support, such as the Popular and Ciudadanos groups due to the creation of a amendment agreed between socialists and PNVwhich opens the door to international participation of regional teams.
This option, if the corresponding international federation considers it, is intended for sports modalities or specialties with historical and social roots in their respective community and also refers to the case where the regional federation was part of an international federation before the creation of the Spanish federation and would influence Basque pelota and surfing.
Again with much discussion about this novelty, the plenary session of the House of Representatives approved it November 3 without the consensus desired by the Spanish government, with 166 votes in favour, 157 against and 18 abstentions.
LaLiga and the Spanish Football Federation
When passed by Congress, the law included in its original text some demands from LaLiga football, alluding to a possible strike if they were not addressed through amendments.
Also with regard to federations and the organization of competitions at the state level, the law prevents the establishment of a commercial relationship with an athlete who can participate in them, in an amendment approved after taking note of the agreements between the Spanish Football Federation and the company of the Barcelona player Gerard Piquefor the Spanish Super Cup to be played in Saudi Arabia.
In early December, the Senate plenary passed the text incorporating more than 20 amendments, after rejecting a proposal for Vox veto.
