The PP reiterates in its statutes that “above all” it is “always at the service of the people, children being a priority”
The general secretary of the Popular Party, Cuca Gamarra, has not made clear the position of her formation on surrogacy and has warned that it is a “complex aspect that deserves deep and serene debates”, without “forgetting” that it involves minors.
“It is a complex aspect, which deserves deep and serene debates, since it affects many moral, ethical, religious issues, with many opinions on the part of Spanish society,” Gamarra pointed out.
This was stated this Wednesday by the general secretary of the PP in statements to the media in the Congress of Deputies, when asked about her party’s position on surrogates, after Ana Obregón’s decision to become a gestational mother surrogate in the United States.
In this context, Gamarra has warned that it is an issue in which “we must not forget that there are children, there are minors, who have rights that must be guaranteed.” “In any case, addressing this issue must always be in a framework of depth and calm reflection”, he concluded.
In its statutes, approved in 2018 when Mariano Rajoy was still in charge of the party, the formation highlights that in the field of surrogate mothers “there are children who are arriving in Spain at this time and who have been born by surrogacy in other countries”, something that responds to a reality “about which there are diverse opinions and positions”.
“Above all, we reiterate that the PP is always at the service of the people, protecting vulnerable people in a more special way, with children and their rights being a priority for us,” the popular ones point out in their statutes, collected by Europe Press.
The popular ones point out that it is a “very delicate and extremely sensitive” reality, which is why they understand that it is one of the issues “that requires an in-depth, serious and serene debate.”
A debate that, as they add, after listening to experts from both the scientific, legal and ethical fields, allows “dialogue, debate and jointly build a position that gives a clear answer and broad consensus on such an important issue that affects life, human dignity and the conscience of all”.
