The Congress of Deputies initiated the procedure for its repeal thanks to the votes of PSOE and PODEMOS and the abstention of Citizens
The municipal group of the Popular Party of Cehegín has presented in the City Hall a motion to be debated in the next plenary session in defense of the reviewable permanent prison.
From the Popular Party have recalled that the reviewable permanent prison was approved in March 2015 in the Congress of Deputies with the only favorable votes of the Popular Party "and now with the votes of the PSOE and PODEMOS and the abstention of Citizens intend to repeal it."
In fact, they have indicated, "the repeal of this criminal figure was one of the agreements signed by the socialists and by citizens in their investiture pact".
The popular cehegineros have indicated that the reviewable permanent prison is applicable in cases of exceptionality, specifically, especially serious crimes: murders preceded by rape, serial murders, murders of children under sixteen or persons of special vulnerability, murders committed by criminal organizations and genocides.
The Popular Party, through this motion, wants to express its support for the victims;
respond to the majority feeling of Spanish society, which defends the maintenance of this measure and be consistent with the position held three years ago in the Congress of Deputies, as they have pointed out.
In addition, they argue from the Municipal People's Group, "this procedure already exists in other European countries and it is a coherent mechanism with perfect criminal reserve in Spain because it is well incorporated into our model of guarantees".
Before 2015, the maximum time a convicted person could be in prison was 40 years.
However, that sentence is rarely met.
There are too many cases in which a rapist or murderer comes out of prison and commits crimes again.
With the entry into force of the reviewable permanent prison, the situation of the prisoner can be reviewed after 25 years of compliance with the sentence, and reinserted in society if it meets the requirements of rehabilitation.
That is to say, with this punishment, one does not renounce - as some believe - the reinsertion of the condemned.
Countries like France, Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom, Belgium, Austria or Switzerland have a penalty similar to the one they now want to eliminate in our country.
"Cases like that of Diana Quer, recently, or those of Marta del Castillo and the Breton brothers, among others, make it necessary to maintain this criminal figure for cases of extreme gravity and the Popular Party will continue to defend it to prevent this type of criminal return to re-offend and cause new victims and more suffering to other families, "they concluded.
