The coalition government is going to have to correct another law apart from the only yes is yes law: the Comprehensive Protection of Children and Adolescents Against Violence. On this occasion, there has been a “drafting error” regarding the statute of limitations for crimes against the freedom of the minor, which in one paragraph of the rule states that they begin to count from the time the victim is 18 years old and in another from 35.

The contradiction – advanced by Infolibre – was detected by Miguel Hurtado, a victim of abuse, who alerted several parties and the Ombudsman.

To solve the error, it is necessary to modify article 132 of the Criminal Code through an additional provision in the next organic law that will be brought to Congress, as explained by the Ministry of Social Rights, promoter of the norm, reports Efe.

The Congress approved in May 2021 with almost unanimity a norm that supposes the implementation of an entire legal framework for the comprehensive protection of children and adolescents against all types of violence. Its entry into force meant deploying measures and protocols for the prevention and detection of cases, an improvement in assistance and also combating impunity in certain crimes against minors, such as those of a sexual nature. The law promoted by Pablo Iglesias When he was still Vice President of the Government, he was supported by an immense majority of the Lower House, from left to right, with the support of PSOE, PP, Unidas Podemos, Ciudadanos, Más País, the nationalist and minority forces. The exception was Vox, which was left alone positioning itself against it.

The modification of this rule occurs while the PSOE proposal is also being processed in Congress to reform the only yes is yes and stop the “bleeding” of reductions in sentences for aggressors, which already exceeds 500. The majority partner of the The coalition has managed to get it done urgently thanks to the PP and Vox, but Podemos and the rest of the parliamentary allies reject the advance to next week and demand an agreement with the Ministry of Equality.
