The criminal reform promoted by Junts, which is one of the demands of Pedro Sánchez's government, was approved this Thursday by a majority in the Congressional Justice Committee after the independentists introduced half a dozen changes agreed with the PSOE and the PP, while EH Bildu and Podemos, members of the executive, expressed their opposition to reform.

This bill, amending the Criminal Code and the Criminal Procedure Act, was registered by Junts in March last year and was taken into account six months later, but has been rejected for several months, extending weekly the deadline for tabling partial amendments.

In March of this year, amendments were finally tabled, but it was again rejected, as members of the left of the Government reported their disagreement with the reform and the PP in favour.

The next step will be to discuss the report of the paper before the Justice Committee, which is scheduled for the week of 17 December, and then to attend the next plenary session of Congress in January or February.
