Junts has passed a law against repeat offenders with the support of PSOE, PP, Vox and PNV

With 302 votes in favour, 36 against and 8 abstentions, the initiative amending the Penal Code and the Criminal Procedure Act will now be referred to the Senate, which, among other things, imposes a three-year prison sentence on those who steal mobile phones.

On Thursday, the plenary of the Congress of Deputies gave thegreen light to the proposed law which,with the support of PSOE, PP, Vox and PNV, contains a package of measures against those who repeat crimes by Junts. This law calls for greater rigour in punishing small robberies and, although adopted by a clear majority, has been rejected by the majority of government partners.

It has received 302 votes in favour, 36 against and 8 abstentions from initiatives amending the Criminal Code and the Criminal Procedure Act and will now be referred to the Senate, which, among other things, imposes a three-year prison sentence on those who steal mobile phones. 

We can, Sumar, and EH Bildu reject the measure and say it is not only not valid to stop the robberies, but it is grass for the extreme right.

We're working to complete the information.
