This Tuesday, the Popular Party used its absolute majority in the Senate to reject the PSOE’s call to protect itself against the transfer of a room next December to organize an ultra-summit against abortion. The Board of Directors rejected the request with four votes from the PP against three from the socialist senators, as EFE was informed by parliamentary sources.
The PSOE had presented an appeal for protection against the decision taken by the Table itself last July and which went unnoticed by the socialists, who accuse the popular of having “slipped” this request on the agenda. In any case, the decision involves giving the Network of Political Values, one of the most active actors in the international crusade against abortion or marriage equality, a room in the Senate for the celebration of its sixth Transatlantic Summit on December 2.

However, these were not analyzed by the Council, because according to parliamentary sources, there are no resources of this type for such a measure, but the only valid formula is that of protection.
