The paper to modify the citizen security law approved on his own by the absolute majority of the PP in 2015 and against all other parties have started to order their jobs with the idea of achieving a “consensus State” to a fundamental norm, according to admitted to the departure of its first long day of work, several of the deputies involved in the work. The discussions of that first session was focused, above all, in defining the object and purposes of this amendment and end up with measures that could limit such rights as freedom of speech, or of the meeting or “discourage social protest”.

Some parties, especially we Can, Bildu and Compromís, were starting to be reluctant to allow a broader conception of citizen security and raised to be limited to the infringement of fundamental rights. PP and Citizens, especially, put as an example the estropicios caused by vandals to defend that also should be considered within the law of citizen security and not to be, as they are now referred to in other standards. There were objections, but in the end he triumphed that more extensive conception of the citizen security.

After the meeting, the socialist spokeswoman, David Serra, has highlighted the good political environment and the levels of agreement to relate to, almost unanimously, citizen security, with the exercise of the rights of citizens in the public spaces.

The groups dedicated to that day to discuss the objective of the paper, and to structure and to study the nearly 200 amendments proposed to the proposition of law presented by the PNV, also ended up joining the PSOE. The PP has registered 17 more amendments to its own law, we Can 55, Citizens 33, ERC 13, six the PDeCAT, 56 Bildu (the most) and 25 the PSOE. Mobilbahis During the first appointment the parties have shown flexibility to accept even new amendments in voce. In the sessions, morning and afternoon of the first day, which has been extended over five hours, are given time to study the first two chapters of the law and 13 of its 54 articles.

Before starting their work the president of the commission of Internal affairs, the former minister of popular Justice, Rafael Catalá, has asked the groups to tackle these jobs, “without dogmatism”, with the intention of defending many aspects of the law still in force on Citizen Security of the PP has positive aspects. At the exit of the appointment, the popular speaker, José Alberto Martín Toledano, has insisted on that argument by pointing out that after so much controversy over the gag law was that “I should not be so bad when most of the discussions have focused on technical aspects or mere touch-ups”. Sául Ramirez, of Citizens, has explained that “the first discussions has centered on determining if the concept of citizen security is simplified or is a right potestativo or coercive”.

PSOE, we Can, PNV and Bildu have been reminded that the work has just begun and they still had not been addressed the controversial aspects of the law, as the returns in hot immigrants or the limits to the manifestations and to certain police actions. The deputies of United we Can, Ricardo Sixto and Eduardo Santos, have highlighted these developments in the methodology of the paper but have been warned that the discussions will come more forward with positions that are more ideological.

One of the issues related to immigration that yes has given time to discuss on this first day has had to do with the validity and above all the level of protection against possible counterfeiting of the current number or identification card for foreigners (NIE), which you want to grant a shield that is similar to the DNI (National Identity Document) of the national citizens. These NIE will be able to compose and draw from the entry into force of the new law in Spanish and one of the co-official languages in force “in the area of residence” of the affected. This option was already in force in some regions of Spain, and protected by various decrees, but in the future you want to include that possibility in the new law.

In the future drafting of the law on Citizen Security, establish the obligation for foreigners to carry at all times your NIE number as for the national ID card with the new system of protection. The next meeting of the presentation has been scheduled for the day 12 of December and then, after christmas, for the days 15, 16 and 17 of January, in intensive days, with the goal set in get to finish a first reading of the total of the new law for mid-January.
