The Trans law, definitively approved last week after a hazardous parliamentary procedure, remains in the crosshairs of the opposition, determined not only not to let the cracks that the law has caused within the Government and within the PSOE, but willing, moreover, to reverse immediately, if it comes to power in the next elections, its “insane approaches” and the “negative consequences” that are already predicted in its application.
The Steering Committee of the PP has agreed to the immediate creation of a working group that will bring together representatives of feminist groups, experts in gender dysphoria, psychiatrists and psychologists to draft their own bill ready to be immediately sent to Congress if Feijóo wins the elections and forms a government. The commitment of the popular is to send it to the Cortes in the first hundred days of the mandate.
It would thus be one of the first demonstrations of the express reformist agenda that a hypothetical popular executive would put into practice in his first three months in office.
The working group will also include representatives of the Autonomous Communities, many of which have their own regulations in which the rights of trans people are recognized.
“People with gender dysphoria”, the popular campaign spokesman specified, “will have all our support but our law will be far from crazy approaches.” Borja Sémper has recalled that already in the appearances of experts in Congress during the processing of the current law, he was “warned” of the “negative consequences” that the rule could have. “There are countries that are already rectifying laws that are having painful consequences for minors,” he specified, expressly alluding to the case of Scotland.
The key points of the law approved in Spain that the PP believes it is necessary to reconsider and correct are, fundamentally, those that refer to “unconditional gender registry changes” and the possibility of administering “hormone blockers at puberty”.
“We want to solve these nonsense and we believe that this is compatible with respect and protection for people with gender dysphoria. We can respond to the rights of citizens without making very serious mistakes that we can regret,” Sémper assured.
The Management Committee of the PP has not addressed in its meeting the revelations that are being made from within the party itself a year after the ouster of Pablo Casado nor the publication of the messages of encouragement that a large part of the leaders of the formation sent who was then their leader just three days before making him resign. The attitude of the popular leadership now is, in the words of Sémper, “not looking in the rear-view mirror and focusing on the future, responding professionally to the Spanish desire for change.” He thus has refused to “make political statements about private conversations”. “In fact,” he added, “I am not in favor of making these conversations public.”
The spokesman also assured that the former president of the PP has “open doors”. “The party is totally open to any militant and especially to him who was president and continues to be a very important person for the party.” In this sense and in relation to the electoral campaign, the spokesman added that the PP “will count on everyone”.
The Management Committee has also analyzed the electoral polls, its own and those of others, and has concluded that, according to this study, there is a transfer of votes from the PSOE and Vox to the PP. In the first case, it would be around 11-12% and, in the second, approximately 14%. According to Sémper, this transfer of voters is taking place without the need for the party to “go anywhere” and shows that “the PP’s strategy is already being reflected in the polls.”
