The Social Affairs Commission of the Parliament has given the go-ahead to an initiative that urges the Government of Spain to increase the number of lawyers assigned to the specialized duty roster for violence against women in Palma.
This section of the non-law proposal (PNL), submitted by PP deputy Pedro Álvarez, has been backed by all parliamentary groups, with the only abstention being from the non-attached deputy Agustín Buades.
Likewise, with the same correlation of votes and the abstention of Més per Menorca, the Chamber has demanded that the central Executive analyze the creation or strengthening of specific rosters for legal assistance to victims of crimes against sexual freedom, separate from the resources intended for violence against women.
The Parliament has also required the Balearic Government to continue strengthening psychological, social, legal, and support services aimed at victims of violence against women and sexual violence.
Likewise, the Chamber has expressed its “firm” commitment to the prevention and eradication of all forms of violence against women. These last two sections have moved forward with the support of the other groups, the vote against by Vox, and the abstention by Buades.
Calls for a reinforcement of border control in Ceuta
The Social Affairs Commission has also approved a Vox PNL, defended by deputy Javier Ripoll, in which it requests that the Government ensure effective border control and prevent the consequences of the “immigration invasion” from falling on the families of Ceuta.
With the votes in favor of PP and Vox and rejection by the left-wing groups, the regional Chamber has urged the Executive to ensure safety and health conditions in educational centers, as well as to protect the educational, sports, and youth use of facilities intended for all Spaniards.
The Parliament has also called on the Government to guarantee sufficient resources for the prevention, early detection, and psychological and psychiatric care of minors and young people in Ceuta, and to implement a specific case-tracking system for cases of truancy.
Among other aspects, the Commission has agreed to ask the central Executive to provide periodic and transparent information about “the impact that this invasion is having on the child and youth population of Ceuta.
The only point that had been rejected, when the PP’s abstention was registered, was the one that proposed compensating the families of Ceuta through a tax plan.
