The initiative promoted by the PP and the PSOE has gone ahead with a vote in favor of all groups except Vox. From now on, the period for amendments opens before the initiative is finally approved and sent to the Senate.
The Congress of Deputies agreed on Tuesday to consider the PP and PSOE’s initiative to reform Article 49 of the Constitution and abolish the term. “reduced” to replace it for “people with disabilities”with one vote in favor of all groups (315 votes), except Vox, which abstained (33 votes).
Likewise, the processing of the text through the single reading procedure, without the need for a presentation or committee, has also been approved, with Vox voting against.
Due to work in the House of Representatives, the hearing took place in the Senate and the vote took place electronically.
From now on, the period for amendments opens, which will be debated this Thursday, January 18, either completely with alternative text, or partially to modify the articles, and to approve the initiative and send it to the Senate.
In any case, the amendments will not go through because Pedro Sánchez and Alberto Núñez Feijóo agreed that the changes to the Magna Carta would be limited to Article 49.
In 2018, there was a first attempt at reform that received the support of the Commission of all parliamentary groups that made up Congress, but the call for elections for 2019 prevented its processing from continuing. In the following term it resumed and the PP and PSOE managed to discreetly leave an editorial closed, but there was no climate or time to implement it.
