Madrid intends to modify the trans and LGTBI law in an extraordinary plenary session on December 22

The PP continues to tighten the deadlines to ensure that the extraordinary plenary session of December is held on the 22nd in which it wants to approve the modification of the trans, LGBT laws and 15 legislative texts that include the Chamber of Accounts, Transparency or Telemadrid, despite of criticism from the opposition for “twisting” the times for this purpose.

The spokesperson for the Popular Group in the Assembly, Carlos Díaz-Pache, insisted this Thursday in the Assembly on his party's intention to approve these three laws urgently before the end of the year and, specifically, in an extraordinary plenary session on December 22 in the afternoon, presumably after the Budget plenary session.

For this purpose, an Assembly Table and the subsequent Board of Spokespersons have been convened this Thursday, after the plenary session, to continue with the plenary session on the 22nd.

More Madrid, PSOE and Vox insist that these three laws can be debated in a later plenary session, not in the extraordinary one that the PP intends to set on Lottery day.

The opposition groups criticize that with the PP's intention to set this date to approve the regulations before the end of the year, they do not have time to study the reports and the legal services of the Assembly "are in a very tense situation that causes situations of insecurity,” indicated the deputy spokesperson for the PSOE, Jesús Celada, after the Spokespersons' Meeting this Thursday.

The deputy spokesperson for Más Madrid, María Pastor, has also said in a press conference that the PP is “twisting the regulations, muzzling the opposition and putting pressure on the lawyers” so that before the end of the year “Ayuso has assured its ' little pay'”.

Pastor has said that "the normal thing is that this plenary session would take place in February, that it would not be in the middle of Christmas" when all these laws are modified because the groups have had a business day and a half to be able to evaluate reports and make amendments. For this reason, Manuela Bergerot's party has requested an extension of deadlines, but the Assembly Board has rejected it.

Likewise, the socialist spokesperson has condemned that they are “deeply concerned about the substance and forms” of the Chamber Table with the modification of 15 “very important laws that affect transparency, good government, Telemadrid and plurality”, and it is ugly that the PP has “turned the express processing of the regulations into an emergency” by “twisting the deadlines.”

For her part, the leader of Vox, Rocío Monasterio, said in the control session this Thursday that the Ayuso Government intends to intervene in “public television, the Chamber of Accounts and the Transparency Council” and has accused her of while “spending and taxes increase, institutions intervene,” something that in his opinion is more of “a socialist government.”

Monasterio recently criticized at a press conference that “Ayuso is determined that through the back door on December 22 they can make all possible changes to take control of Telemadrid, the Chamber of Accounts and the Transparency Council and change 15 laws with nocturnality and treachery.”

In the face of these criticisms, Díaz-Pache stressed today in the Madrid Chamber that urgent processing "is important so that these laws are approved as soon as possible" and has insisted that the deadlines are being met "with complete normality", which is why he hopes that the opposition does not “filibuster.”
