The government partners have not made even the slightest effort in the last three weeks to agree on a joint reform of the law for the Comprehensive Guarantee of Sexual Freedom, known as the law of only yes is yes, because they respectively calculate that the political cost will be the other will eat, and given this attitude, the investiture partners do not want to be a bargaining chip or responsible for fixing the broken dishes. This afternoon, in the plenary session that will deliberate on taking into consideration the reform that the socialist group has registered at its own risk, there will undoubtedly be severe reproaches to socialists and podemites, because all the groups that have supported the coalition during the legislature they consider it a bad joke that the PSOE comes with a reform that modifies the star law of the Department of Equality without having the support of the ministry or United We Can.

The PNV, which is the only one that announced its support for the text of the Socialists weeks ago, has not shown itself to be very happy with the divorce between the two halves of the Executive in this regard, but much tougher have been Esquerra, EH Bildu, Más País y Compromís, which has been urging the partners to agree on a reform for almost a month now. Without success, not because there was no agreement, but because they have not even sat down to threaten a negotiation in the three weeks that have elapsed since the PSOE registered, without entrusting itself to God or the devil, the unilateral proposal of the Minister of Justice, Pilar Llop , rejected flatly by the Minister of Equality, Irene Montero, and on whose wording, once known, the professors of Criminal and Procedural Law confirmed that, indeed, it meant a return – not nominal, but de facto and de jure – to the criminal categories of the previous legislation.

The climate among the Executive’s allies is charged and the closure of the partners to start a negotiation has not helped at all, taking advantage of the margin of almost three weeks that they have had, but the attitude is much more critical towards the Socialists, willing to assume as virtuous the support of the ultramontane right for his reform, in the same week in which the party that is the champion of abolitionism has been peppered by a corruption and prostitution scandal based in the offices of the Congress of Deputies. What was a moderate anger, especially from the leftist forces –ERC, EH Bildu, BNG and Más País– before the unilateral initiative of the PSOE to deactivate from Parliament a law of its own Government, has become a real anger with the course of the days, so this afternoon it is possible that the PSOE, which will take the decision forward with PP, Vox and PNV, will have to listen to a collection of reproaches and accusations of machismo eight hours after the start of the party 8-M feminist.
