In addition, a pact between PSOE and Podemos has expanded the scope of the measure and, as long as it is justified, women’s representation can reach 100%.
The plenary meeting of Congress of Deputies, while the PP and Vox voted against, approved the draft organic law on equal representation and balanced presence of women and men, better known as parity law. After approval by the House of Representatives, the text will be sent to the House of Representatives Senate. This rule requires at least one to be present 40% women in institutions, boards of directors of large companies, election candidates and constitutional bodies. In order to comply with the balanced presence, the law therefore opts for the 60/40 rule.
The advice considers several transactional changes, including the agreed change PSOE and Podemos allowing women to represent the world 100% percentage representation, which justifies itself. “The criterion of equal representation and balanced presence of women and men, in line with the principle of positive action, should not be applied where there is a representation of women of more than 60%, which must in any case be justified.”
