Gamarra assures that “women’s freedoms are guaranteed” in Castilla y León
“Transfer to Spanish women that wherever the PP is, their freedom is not only guaranteed but they can fully exercise it.” This is how the general secretary of the PP, Cuca Gamarra, pronounced herself in statements to journalists this Monday upon her arrival at the meeting with the president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, organized by Expansión-El Mundo, when asked about the Vox anti-abortion measures in Castilla y León. “Freedom and the exercise of women’s freedoms are fully guaranteed and protected,” she insisted.
According to Gamarra, the controversy is “a crude attempt by the government to try to divert attention.” Thus, he has “recommended” the Executive led by Pedro Sánchez to focus on the fact that “184 aggressors have benefited” after the entry into force of the ‘Only yes is yes’ law. “That has indeed been approved and is in force and there they should work to rectify what they have erred in and also assume responsibilities,” he stressed.
Castilla y León challenges the Government and replies that it refrain from addressing requirements and that it will undertake “legal actions”

Darias affirms that forcing the fetus to listen to the heartbeat before aborting is “inadmissible”: “We will not hesitate to go to court”
The Minister of Health has insisted this Monday that the plan of the Junta de Castilla y León, announced by the vice president of Vox, Juan García-Gallardo, “is not admissible according to current legislation.” “The law establishes that in cases of voluntary interruption of pregnancy, what has to be considered to the woman are the types of help to which she may be entitled” and that “three days must elapse”, recalled Darias, who has assured that “either compel or urge [a escuchar el latido fetal] current legislation is being contravened, the Board has no jurisdiction and contravenes the rights of women”.
In an interview on Cadena Ser, Darias has clarified that the Government will use “all the mechanisms of the legal system” to “defend the current legality and the rights of women.” Asked about the possibility of going to court, she replied: “If necessary, we will have no hesitation in doing so.”
The Government sent an official request this Sunday to the Executive of Alfonso Fernández Mañueco in which it demands that it “refrain from approving and applying any measure that violates or undermines” the right of women to freely abort. As Darias explained, she herself sent another letter on Thursday to the Minister of Health, of the PP, “to ask him what measures we are talking about” and requested the protocol announced by her far-right coalition partner. “In the first paragraph it tells me that the Governing Council has not announced any type of measure and in the second paragraph it tells me that these measures will be implemented”, the minister has developed.
Darias has highlighted the “eloquent” silence of Feijóo, whom he has challenged “to put an end to this outrage.” “Is this the moderation with which he was going to come?” Asked the minister, who has insisted that “the PP cannot come to curtail rights.”

the topics of the day
Hello! A day marked by the controversy of the Vox plan against abortion in Castilla y León and by the first meeting of the new Ciudadanos board of directors begins. But before getting into it, we leave you with some of the news for this Monday’s edition of elDiario.es:
-SURVEY | The PP goes back at the expense of Vox with the PSOE falling: the PP would touch 30% of the votes if the elections were held now and it is almost three points away from the PSOE, which drops six tenths compared to the previous Simple Lógica poll for elDiario.es. The rise of those of Feijóo is justified by the drop in Vox, which in this survey would continue to be the third force, although with a drop of almost four points, from 18.2% to 14.9%.
-The Government warns Castilla y León in writing that it will go to court if it applies the Vox plan against abortion: through a request sent this Sunday, the Government led by Pedro Sánchez has asked the Government of Castilla y León “to refrains from approving and applying any measure that violates or impairs” the right to voluntary termination of pregnancy.
-The senior lawyer of the Congress forced the accusation against the activists who threw beetroot water: Carlos Gutiérrez Vicén, general secretary of the Congress of Deputies and Senior Lawyer, made the police report against the activists who threw beetroot water against the façade of the Lower House included an accusation for crimes against State institutions. For this crime to occur, it is necessary to “alter the normal functioning of the Courts”, but the deputies found out what had happened in real time through the media.
-Podemos proposes to the PSOE to intervene in the food market so that prices return to pre-war levels: Podemos assures that the measures of the current anti-crisis decree against the rise in food prices are insufficient. Thus, they are going to ask the Government to intervene in the market to create a basic basket with a price ceiling equivalent to the one that these products had before the start of the war in Ukraine.
