PP, Vox and UPN have opposed the processing of the reform of the Citizen Security Law, agreed between the Government of Spain and EH Bildu and which has received the support of the rest of the groups.
The reform of the Citizen Security Law or Muzzle Law has begun urgently thanks to the votes in favor of all groups except PP, Vox and UPN. Following the agreement between PSOE, Sumar and EH Bildu, the consideration was also supported by PNV, Podemos, ERC, Junts and BNG.
Junts, Podemos and BNG have announced that they will submit amendments.
The right-wing opposition has sharply criticized the plan to reform the law. Popular spokesman Miguel Tellado has called it the ‘Otegi law of civilian insecurity’ to criticize the agreement with EH Bildu, ‘those who for years have wanted to expel the National Police and the Civil Guard from the Basque Country’.
The PSOE has defended the text against ‘the brotherhood of holy reproach’ and a PP that has politically deployed police officers and passed the muzzle law for greater control over social criticism and, moreover, created the ‘patriotic police’ against its political opponents.
Jon Iñarritu, from EH Bildu, has highlighted the “new opportunity” offered by the initiative to “put an end to a law that has been nothing more than an instrument of citizen repression.”
Mikel Legarda, of the PNV, has supported the consideration, but regrets that the momentum of the discreet negotiations that have been going on for months has not continued.
