EUROPA PRESS:The PSOE presents a veto to the new universal justice in the Senate for sending a message of impunity to criminals

Cree que el carpetazo de los casos abiertos choca "frontalmente" with victims' rights and constitutional principles

MADRID, 5 Mar. (EUROPA PRESS)

El PSOE ha presentado una propuesta de veto en el Senado a la limitación de la justicia universal por enviar "un mensaje de impunidad" a los responsables de "gravísimos" crimes against humanity. She further , ha criticado la "atropelladísima" y "discutible" process followed by the reform, que ha reflejado de nuevo el "escaso respeto" del PP hacia el Parlamento y las "reglas del juego democráticas".

   The socialists have also presented several partial amendments to the bill that reforms the Organic Law of the Judiciary, demanding the suppression of the current wording, cuyo único "origen y fundamento" lies in obtaining the file of the dozen cases opened in the National Court. Among them, There is the case of the genocide in Tibet or the murder of the cameraman José Couso.

   The PSOE, who will appeal the law before the Constitutional Court, criticizes the additional transitional provision that allows shelving all procedures that do not meet current requirements. In his opinion, vulnera "claramente" los derechos constitucionales de las víctimas y choca "frontalmente" with the principles included in the article 9.3 of the Carta Magna.

LEAVE THE SPANIARDS WITHOUT GUARDIANSHIP

   El principal grupo de la oposición destaca que la iniciativa del Partido Popular supone la "desaparición" of the principle of universal jurisdiction, especially in the prosecution of the most serious crimes and violations of human rights.

   According to the Socialist Parliamentary Group, The current model complies with the obligations imposed by the international treaties that Spain has ratified in defense of human rights.. However, la proposición de ley "dificulta hasta su práctica inviabilidad" la competencia de los jueces españoles para "dejar sin tutela" to Spanish victims of serious crimes, as genocide or crimes against humanity.

   "La renuncia a la persecución de estos gravísimos delitos, sends a message of impunity to those responsible for them, a la vez que abona la convicción de otros potenciales autores de que estas conductas pueden muy probablemente quedar sin castigo", highlights the text, collected by Europa Press.

   Los socialistas reprueban las condiciones "extraordinariamente restrictivas" that the PP initiative imposes to pursue, For example, female genital mutilation crimes, treats, gender violence or sexual abuse of minors.

   "Ya no sólo se exige que el responsable se encuentre en España, but that the procedure is directed against a Spaniard, or against a foreigner who habitually resides in Spain; o que la víctima sea de nacionalidad española o que resida habitualmente en España", concludes.
