Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska, today, during the control session.

The Spanish Minister of the Interior, Fernando Grande-Marlaska , has announced in the Congress of Deputies, in response to a question from the PNV, measures to combat the use of white weapons in public spaces "as soon as possible". 

On 27 March, the President of the Spanish Government, Pedro Sánchez, and the President, Imanol Pradales, agreed in a bilateral committee to tighten and strengthen the sanctions regime on the use of white weapons. In this regard, Grande-Marlaska has stressed the need for legislative reforms and social awareness to address the problem "in an appropriate and coordinated manner". 

Specifically, it refers to Article 146 of the Arms Regulations and Article 43 of the Citizen Security Act, or to making the Register of Offences "more effective".

As Grande-Marlaska did afterwards, PNV Member Mikel Legarda also referred to what Sanchez and Pradales agreed in the bilateral committee on security.

In this regard, Legarda has advocated the promotion of legislative reforms and awareness-raising campaigns to avoid interpretive opportunities and to make citizens understand that the use of white weapons is prohibited.

According to the PNV, the Citizen Security Act in force since 2015 is limited.
