Because the Senate does not make any changes to the text sent by Congress, the reform will take effect on the same day as its publication in the BOE.
Last Thursday, the plenary session of the Senate finally approved the reform of Article 49 of the Constitution, replacing the word ‘disabled’ with ‘person with a disability’. 254 votes in favor and three against of the Vox senators.
Because the Senate does not make any changes to the text sent by the Congress of Deputies, the reform does not have to return to the House of Representatives and enters into force on the same day after publication in the Government Gazette (BOE). It will also be published in Catalan, Basque and Galician.
The social entities had demanded that the groups unanimously support the constitutional amendment, but as Vox expected, they voted against.
It’s about the first social reform of the Magna Carta, which required approval by a three-fifths majority of deputies. 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.
