PP and Vox changes to the ‘Trans Law’ cause a trifulca in the Valencian Courts | News from the Valencian Community

Lambda associations, LGTB+ collective per sexual diversitat, of Gènere i Familiar and Chrysallis, of families of childhood and trans youth have concentrated this Thursday in front of the Valencian Parliament to ask that “not touch” the Trans Law Valencian and denounce « the greatest attack » against the rights of this group « executed by a PP sold to Vox to stay in power, after lying a year ago saying that they would not dismantle » the norm. Already inside the hemicycle, during the control session to the president of the Generalitat Valenciana, Carlos Mazón, some moments of tension have been lived when representatives of these groups that followed the session from the guest tribune, have been evicted by order of the president of the Valencian Courts, Llanos Massó, of Vox, after they have begun to shout « the Trans Law It is not touched ”at the end of the turn of the Compromís Parliamentary Group to the Consell.

Shortly before, the deputy of the Valencian Coalition Francesc Roig has affected the First Vice President and Minister of Social Services, Equality and Housing, Susana Camarero, the amendments of PP and Vox to the Trans Law. « How can you sleep quietly perpetuating this barbarity? » He asked.

At that time, the representatives of LGTBI associations present in the hemicycle have begun to shout “the Trans Law It is not touched ”before the applause of the PSPV and Compromís deputies. Then, the president of the Chamber has recalled on several occasions that the public who attends the plenary session“ must refrain from any type of demonstration ”. And in view of the shouts, he asked them to leave the room.

Before the start of the parliamentary session, the associations have concentrated in front of the doors of the regional Parliament and have accused the Consell led by Carlos Mazón to use the amendments to the Accompaniment Law to the Budgets of 2025, presented “without transparency or public debate”, to “modify the back door” the Trans Law Valenciana, a standard approved in 2017 and considered a pioneer in Spain.

PP and VOX have approved several articles of the Trans Law from the Valencian Community to, among other things, open the door to Conversion therapies When they are voluntary for the people who want to receive them, the opposition has denounced. In an amendment to the Budget Accompaniment Law, the two groups allow the parents of the minors to oppose their children to change gender. The amendment was approved a few days ago in the Budget and Economics Commission of the Courts with the votes of PP and Vox and will later pass the Plenary to definitively approve, within the Law on Accompaniment of the Generalitat Budgets by 2025.

The new article states that therapies are prohibited, but only when they suppose an aggression for these people. And, in any case, it establishes that an accompaniment can be carried out to modify gender identity when it is voluntary. The amendment also prohibits educational centers from addressing in their projects gender identity and sexual diversity specifically.

In full brawl, the first vice president and counselor Susana Camarero has denied that the changes allow conversion therapies and has cited article 6 to prove it. « We have prohibited these therapies and in terms of the accompaniment of minors, yes, because minors protect themselves in front of everything, » he answered the Compromís parliamentarian.

They will go to the Constitutional if necessary

Before, during the protest on the street, the president of Chrysallis at the state level, Sandra Bayón, has agreed that the amendments to the Trans Law « They intend to let out of all childhood. » “We cannot consent to begin to pathologize them: our children are not sick, we cannot consent to stigmatize, we cannot consent to open a door to Bullying Directly with all these amendments, ”he defended, and warned that if necessary they will go to the Constitutional Court, as they did in the Community of Madrid.

As president of the LGTBI+State Federation, Paula Iglesias has denounced that these « anti -right policies » are being replicated throughout Spain, which has related to an increase in « lgtbifobic hate » that especially young people and people suffer especially trans.

From Lambda, Col·lectiu LGTB+ per sex diversitat, de Gènere i Familiar, its coordinator, Fran Fernández, recalled that a year ago they warned of a “cut of rights” in matters of equality and has accused the vice president and consellera Susana Camarero to lie when denying it.

« But the serious thing, » he stated, « it is not this fight that they have to silence those who do not dance the water. Here the problem is that, from now on, when a teacher wants to address a situation of harassment by transphobia in the classrooms, it will be unprotected because the parental pin has come to the Valencian Community by the Popular Party at the instances of Vox. »

He has also warned that “it will fall on their consciences when a person trans They self -injured or suicide or when victims of conversion therapies that have legitimized with this modification of the law are again. Pride of what? ”He has finished off.

From the PSPV, its spokesman, José Muñoz, has denounced the “setbacks” caused President of being « the great enemy » of these. In addition, he has censored that the PP and Vox « open the door » to « legalize » conversion therapies and has guaranteed that « until the last consequences » and will exhaust « all the ways, also the legal ones », to defend the rights of the collective.

Meanwhile, the spokesman De Compromís, Joan Baldoví, has accused the PP and Vox of “cutting the rights” of the LGTBI collective with its amendments, has demanded the withdrawal of its “laws of shame” and has denounced that, with these initiatives, “the conversion therapies are being legalized”, among other issues.
