Amendments by PP and Vox Could Halt Abortion Rights Reform in the Country

A key session of the Congress is taking place in Madrid today, where deputies are considering amendments from Partido Popular and Vox aimed at completely stopping the constitutional reform proposed by the government. This initiative seeks to enshrine the right to abortion at the level of the country’s fundamental law and ensure equal access to the procedure in all regions. If the amendments are approved, the document will be sent back to the government and further discussion will cease.

Both opposition parties strongly oppose the changes. Partido Popular calls the initiative a “falsification of the Constitution,” while Vox representatives consider it “an affront to the dignity of human nature.” Despite differences in rhetoric, both forces demand an immediate halt to the parliamentary process. If, however, the majority of deputies reject the amendments, the reform will continue its path through both chambers of parliament and, for final approval, will require the backing of at least three-fifths of the votes in Congress and the Senate.
