MADRID, 26 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The PSOE spokesman in Congress, Patxi López, has mentioned intra-gender violence and reversibility in sex change as aspects of the Trans Law on which legal guarantees must be reinforced, the day after his party extended a week plus the deadline for amendments to this rule, which has raised complaints from its government partner United We Can.
When asked about the points of the law that do not have sufficient legal certainty, López replied that they are working on “intra-gender violence” so that it does not collide with gender-based violence and “all the progress” that has been achieved in that matter, as he has expressed in statements to the media in the corridors of Congress.
López has also pointed out “reversibility” at this point, referring to the possibility of rectifying the decision to change sex. According to the law, this can be done after six months of having registered the change.
In addition, he has defended the decision to extend the term of amendments for another week and has reiterated that they seek to provide legal certainty and has assured that from then on the procedures “will go quickly” and therefore it will be possible to have a “safer and more guarantor as soon as possible. Moreover, he has indicated that in his opinion this is “surely” one of the laws “that goes the fastest” in parliament.
On whether it can be approved before the end of the year as United We Can claim, he has stated that “surely yes”, while reiterating that they are trying to shield the law from possible appeals before the Constitutional Court “that the right wing may raise” .
