The Government goes one step further in its attempt to stop the anti-abortion roadmap of the ultra-right in Castilla y León. After considering the explanations of the regional president, Alfonso Fernández Mañueco, insufficient, and in the absence of the Board communicating in writing that it desists from developing the plans announced by the vice president of Vox, Juan García-Gallardo, the Council of Ministers today approved a requirement to declare incompetent to the Junta de Castilla y León in relation to its anti-abortion measures, as reported by the Secretary of State for Communication in a statement.

The initiative of the central Executive means going one step beyond the request sent on Sunday and that would lead to the legal path of contentious-administrative matters. In this case, the Council of Ministers is preparing to take the previous step so that the Constitutional Court ends up ruling on a possible invasion of the powers of the autonomous government to a law, that of voluntary interruption of pregnancy, of state rank.
In the note issued from Moncloa, they indicate that this incompetence will be declared against those actions that “violate or impair” the Law on sexual and reproductive health and the voluntary interruption of pregnancy, as well as Royal Decree 825/2010, of 25 June, of partial development of the previous one. The action occurs amid the controversy over the regional Executive’s anti-abortion measures, among which is the use of 4D ultrasounds or making the mother listen to the fetal heartbeat. As indicated by Moncloa, the Castilian and Leonese Board has a month to reply.
The path opened this Tuesday represents a qualitative leap for the newly renovated Constitutional Court to end up ruling on a possible conflict of jurisdiction. The central government maintains that the Junta de Castilla y León has overreached by invading precepts already regulated in the state law on voluntary termination of pregnancy.
The Minister of the Presidency, Félix Bolaños, stated on Tuesday that the Government is working on “all possible options, because we are not going to allow any setback in women’s rights.” Bolaños has demanded that the regional executive “immediately cease any setback in women’s rights” and has stated that, in the opinion of the central government, “they are exceeding their powers.” “In the event that they do not give a complete and satisfactory response, we are going to initiate actions before the Constitutional Court in defense of women’s rights,” he added.
