MADRID, 14 Abr. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ) has updated its official count of beneficiaries of the so-called “law of only yes is yes” and has set 978 sentence reductions and 104 releases in application of the rule that came into effect. into effect on October 7.
Thus, the governing body of the judges has registered 35 new reductions and a new release from prison with respect to the data that Council sources advanced to Europa Press last Wednesday.
It is the first update made by the CGPJ since it officially reported on March 2 that there were 721 reductions and 74 releases throughout Spain as of March 1 due to the revisions made by the Organic Law of the Comprehensive Guarantee of Freedom Sexual.
On that occasion, the Council warned that it had not been able to collect data from all judicial bodies, so it lacked a “global” figure. In any case, he reported that his Permanent Commission had agreed in their conclave that the information would be “periodically updated and made public.” Since then, it was pending for the body to publish the updated data.
On the sidelines, it is expected that the Criminal Chamber of the Supreme Court will hold a monographic plenary session between June 6 and 7 to set criteria on the reviews carried out by the sentencing courts due to the criminal reform.
It will be the first time that the high court enters to analyze whether the courts have properly applied the Organic Law of Comprehensive Guarantee of Sexual Freedom in their sentence reviews. The magistrates will carry out this study with the objective of not only unifying criteria but also establishing doctrine, and because it already accumulates more than 20 appeals against review orders.
