The Minister of Equality, Justice and Social Policy has emphasized that the standard is “a good law” that recognizes minors as subjects of rights. The Basque parliament will approve two other laws: the law on cooperation and solidarity and the reform of the trans law, the last legislative power.

The Basque Parliament faces a ‘superplenum’ today with the adoption of the laws on childhood and adolescence, cooperation and solidarity, and the reform of the law on the rights of transgender people. It’s about the three last laws of the legislature.
The three standards have one broad support of the camera. In the case of the first, the Basque government has reached an agreement with EH Bildu and Elkarrekin Podemos-IU. As for the second, the PP will add its votes to those of these two opposition groups to give the green light to the cooperation and solidarity bill submitted by the executive. Finally, the second amendment to the law on non-discrimination on the basis of gender identity and recognition of the rights of transsexuals will receive the support of EH Bildu and Elkarrekin Podemos-IU, in addition to that of PNV and PSE-EE.
The first thing that was debated was the law of Childhood and adolescence. The Minister of Equality, Justice and Social Policy, Nerea Melgosa, has been in charge of defending the project before the House. The adviser has confessed that today is one of her “happiest” days in Parliament since a law “unparalleled in the state”“a good law” that recognizes minors as subjects of rights.
The new law on cooperation and solidarity, the second to be debated, will force the Basque government to, among other things, spend 0.7 percent of its annual budget on cooperation policy.
The reform of the transsexuality law comes to Parliament on the anniversary of the death of Ekai, a young man from Ondarroa who committed suicide on February 15, 2018 while waiting for hormonal treatment. The families of the Naizen association go to the Chamber.
The Basque parliament will have agreed to these three 59 laws, 44 of which received a “yes” vote from at least one opposition group. Some regulations will still be pending, such as the transparency law, which started consideration in the Basque parliament at the beginning of this month and is not expected to be approved before the elections.
