New clash between the Junta de Castilla y León and the central government. The one already produced last week in educational matters is now joined by another scuffle at the expense of a protocol of action on gender violence. It was last Friday when the Ministry of Justice signed this collaboration document for the “agile and direct attention and referral” of victims who have not filed a complaint between the Assistance Offices for this group and the social and specialized services of the communities that they have not transferred competences in the area of justice.
In the statement on this agreement, the department led by Pilar Llop stressed that “with the exception of Castilla y León”, all the autonomous regions under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Justice adhered to it.
Something that the Board justified in that the measures included in the text are already underway in their territory. Yesterday, the minister herself referred to this matter again and assured that the Castilian and Leonese community has suffered an “unparalleled setback” for being the only one of the autonomies without judicial powers that did not join the agreement. She went on to say that last Friday was a “sad day” in which “women’s rights were betrayed, reports her Ep.
The minister’s statements join others made by other members of the central Executive about the coalition of PP and Vox that governs in Castilla y León, in which they warned that they would be “vigilant” so that it did not produce “any setback” in the Women rights. Llop did not directly blame Abascal’s party, but blamed it on the “responsibility of a government that has to have at the forefront of its public policies what is the basis of democracy: equality, and that was conspicuous by its absence.”
Moments later, the Family Minister, Isabel Blanco, described these statements as “absolutely tendentious, malicious and lacking in rigor”, since the explanations had been provided “for months” to the minister. Thus, the Board explained that on February 16 the protocol was transferred to them and on March 3 Castilla y León responded that it would not join because it is already executing the measures of the document, through an agreement with the TSJ of 2016. having adhered, “a situation of duplicity would have been incurred”, they explained, in addition to underlining that Castilla y León has demonstrated “for years” its commitment in the fight against this scourge and ahead of other regions “as the pioneering agreement demonstrates” with the Government Delegation to promote action and ex officio intervention in possible cases in which there is no complaint.
