The calls for elections announced this Monday by the President of the Spanish Government, Pedro Sánchez, for next July 23, will result in the dissolution of Parliament and therefore that these laws can no longer be processed:
Family law
The Family law It was finally approved by the Council of Ministers two months ago, on March 28, and includes, among other things, the recognition of the diversity of family situations and new paid leave for the care of children, parents and cohabitants.
The rule, which was one of the commitments of the Ministry of Social Rights and the Agenda 2030, directed by Ione Belarra, created three care permits: one for care for five days a year, paid, to care for a family member until the second diploma or cohabiting; another eight weeks, to enjoy uninterrupted or interrupted enjoyment, until the minor turns eight, and another four days of absence to care for a family member in need of immediate attention.
Similarly, it extended the parental income of 100 euros per month to families with children up to 3 years old, an extension that included all mothers receiving unemployment benefits, whether on a contributory or non-contributory basis, and also those who, without meeting the requirements. , they quoted 30 days of delivery. Likewise, it recognized the right to early, free and quality care and not limited to early childhood.
Social Services Act
Social Rights also sees how what could have been democracy’s first social security bill, which was intended to set minimum benefits and benefits for all of Spain’s territory, will remain in the air.
Human Trafficking Act
The government can control the processing of the Human Trafficking Act promoted by the Ministry of Justice and approved in the first round by the Council of Ministers in November 2022. This text contains measures and reforms in the Penal Code to influence, as industry minister Pilar Llop, “in an integral way all forms of exploitation”, including labor, and to influence “the deterrence of demand” in order to to “dismantle” exploitation networks.
Justice will also frustrated its intention to pass a rule that changes the procedure for determining the age of underage migrants. This text is being analyzed by the organizations involved and had to be approved by the Council of Ministers in the second round.
prohibition of prostitution
Another initiative now on its way to approval is the PSOE law that bans pimping in all its forms. This text came about after the disagreement between the socialists and their partners in parliament during the debate on the law ‘only yes is yes’.
The PSOE wanted to harden the practice of prostitution through amendments to that standard, which failed to convince the majority of congressional parties supporting the government. The situation came to jeopardize the passage of the ‘only yes is yes’ law. Finally, those of Pedro Sánchez gave in so that the text could go ahead, but they presented their own law with these proposals.
parity law
Nor will it arrive on time Parity Representation Actapproved last week in the Council of Ministers, requiring at least 40% women to be present in government, boards of directors of large companies, electoral candidates, constitutional bodies and bodies of constitutional importance such as the Constitutional Court, the Council of State, the Budget Council, the Court of Audit or the General Council for the Judiciary (CGPJ).
food waste law
Other initiatives that fall into disrepair after the call for elections are the food waste law, which is expected to be finally adopted in the course of June, the Unidas Podemos standard for the granting of Spanish nationality to Sahrawis born under Spanish sovereignty or the initiatives resulting from government decisions on measures against the gender gap in the field of social security and economic or to improve the working conditions of domestic workers, which was also in the period of changes, in this case since last October. All during the period of amendments in the Senate.
Also the reform of the Article 49 of the Constitution to remove the term “reduced” from Magna Carta is back on the air for the second time in five years.
