The gag law is being voted on in Congress today, with no closed backing to guarantee its passage

Date:

The text reaches the Home Committee without an agreement and requires at least the abstention of ERC and EH Bildu to be brought to plenary.

Euskaraz irakurri: ‘Mozal lega’ren erreforma bozkatuko dute gaur Kongresuan, horren onepenerako babesik bermatu gabe

The Congressional Home Affairs Committee meets this Tuesday to try to give its opinion on the reform of the law on the security of citizensrenamed to ‘gag law’ by its critics, a decisive voice for which the parties that make up the coalition government do not have enough support and which could lead to the text agreed in the presentation diminishing.

The session, which starts at 9.30am, will host the first public debate on this bill since the plenary session in September 2020 taking into account the initiative proposed by the PNV. In recent months, work has been done on the presentations, the meetings of which take place behind closed doors.

The panel was the last to approve its report February 1 and it approved this procedure because ERC voted in favor despite maintaining, along with EH Bildu, its discrepancies with that text. But at the vote in committee None of these parties intend to support the ruling if the PSOE and Unidas Podemos do not movewhich no longer seems likely.

For now, the two groups that together form the coalition government they only stopped support from the PNV and, for the committee to adopt an opinion, they require at least the abstention of two minority groups (ERC, EH Bildu or Junts), since the PP, Vox, Ciudadanos and the deputy of Navarra Suma and representative of the Mixed, Carlos García Adanero, They are against reform.

On the other hand, the PSOE and Unidas Podemos appreciate the agreements reached so far and would see “irresponsible” that its regular partners prefer to keep the law promoted by the PP at the time in force. Both insist that after the text agreed in the newspaper, the law can no longer be called a “joke” and call on their partners not to ruin everything.
