Belarra asks the PSOE to rebuild the social majority “who wants to take care of animals”
The Minister of Social Rights and Secretary General of Podemos, Ione Belarra, has asked the PSOE to reconsider its position on the animal law, which will be voted on in plenary session next week in Congress, and drop the amendment it brought out Go ahead with the support of PP and Vox to exclude hunting dogs from the protection of the norm.
“I want to ask the PSOE to reconsider its position, to return to consensus and to withdraw the amendment that it carried out with PP and Vox,” Belarra said this Thursday after visiting an animal protector in the Community of Madrid. The minister has considered that the support for the amendment shows that the position of the Socialists is that of the hunting lobby and not that of the social majority “who wants to take care of the animals.”
Unidas Podemos and PSOE are negotiating in extremis a compromise amendment to be able to overcome the discrepancies that both groups have exhibited up to now on the protection of hunting dogs, despite the fact that the law came out of the Council of Ministers with the consensus of the two souls of the Government. From the formation led by Belarra, they warn that if the PSOE goes ahead with that amendment – which would only be supported by the right – the government’s parliamentary partners, especially ERC and EH Bildu, would not vote for the entire norm and would be in danger.
