“The Gag Law and the Reform of the Criminal Code have been approved by the PP roller. We will repeal them when we govern.” This was expressed on March 26, 2015, the then opposition leader, Pedro Sánchez. One of the most representative norms of the mandate of the PP of Mariano Rajoy celebrates a decade. The promised repeal of the law will not be carried out at 100%, although the PSOE and part of its partners have achieved, after years of disagreements, an agreement to reform its most harmful aspects, whose approval is pending in Congress.
“The law has had devastating effects on civil liberties, especially the right to protest,” says Cèlia Carbonell, a member of the Center Irídia. “It is incomprehensible that the law has not yet been repealed or a deep reform has been carried out,” verifies the Professor of Criminal Law of the Oberta Universitat de Catalunya (UOC), Josep Maria Tamarit.
