From the moment it was published Official State Gazette (BOE) on August 22 of this year the parity lawit is mandatory that political parties have a protocol to detect and act in the event of a possible case of sexist violence. This mandate was incorporated into the Political Parties Law in his seventh article. As you have been able to verify Publicthe vast majority of political formations have theirs. However, some of them claim to be preparing it and another, specifically the People’s Party (PP), has refused to provide it at the request of this medium.
What this article says, specifically, is the following: “Political parties must have an internal equality plan that will include measures to prevent and detect sexist violence. Likewise, they must establish a protocol for action in the face of sexist violence that they carry out, inside or outside the organizationaffiliates or people who, without being affiliated, have a representative position or have been designated for a specific function, regardless of the hierarchical level or public position they occupy.
It is true that the law does not specify that said protocol must be public, but the vast majority of parties have it posted on their websites. From the text it is inferred, on the other hand, that the protocol should be a independent document and created expressly for this purpose – this is what happens in most cases – but some of the parties consulted by Public They slip that their organization’s own statutes already include measures to act in the event of sexual assault, sexual harassment, rape or any type of sexist violence.
Cuca Gamarra during the morning of last Thursday that “if any complaint is received or any information is known [en el Partido Popular]it is activated internally and from there the decisions that have to be made are made.” This medium has requested the document, but the PP has refused to provide it.
He Socialist party (PSOE), for its part, has a public protocol “prevention and intervention against sexual harassment, based on sex and/or any other personal or social circumstance.”
As for the other two major parties in the Lower House, sources of Vox They point out that it has an ethical code of conduct and an anti-harassment protocol “because it is mandatory.” Addcurrent by the resignation of Íñigo Errejón due to accusations of sexist violence and a complaint for sexual harassment, is a somewhat particular case due to its short life as an organization. Sources from the parliamentary group indicate that from the first assembly a protocol came out which must be approved in the next one, which will take place, as planned, in December.
Republican Left, Together for Catalonia, EH Bildu either Can They have their protocols updated. Also Canarian Coalition either Galician Nationalist Blocas has been confirmed Publicand the vast majority of the formations that make up the Sumar parliamentary group: Common, United Left, Month for Mallorca either More Madrid. Of all of them, some have it posted on their web pages and others in an internal document that this medium has been able to consult to verify its existence.
Commitmentsanother of the parties integrated into Sumar, does not have that protocol. As this media has learned through training sources, its youth organization does have one and Compromís is working to incorporate its own into its organic documents.
From the Basque Nationalist Party (PNV) explain to Public that action in cases of gender violence is included in its statutes. It’s true. In any case, the jeltzales They do not have detailed protocols like the training mentioned above. Sources of Union of the Navarrese People (UPN) also point out that their statutes contemplate a line of action in the event of complaints, judicial investigations or illegal activities, although they do not have a protocol either and, unlike the PNV, the statutes do not make specific reference to sexist violence.
