Sánchez announces that “in the coming weeks” they will work to approve the new Family Law

The President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, has announced that “in the coming weeks” they will work with the parliamentary groups to approve the new Family Law.

“And in fact, I announce to you that in the coming weeks the parties of the coalition government are going to try to work with the parliamentary groups to approve a new Family Law in this House that will expand the rights of single-parent families, large families, migrant families and those families that have a member with a disability,” Sánchez assured the House in plenary session to report on the migration crisis.

In this regard, he has advanced that the objective is “promote birth rates while remaining faithful to the principles of diversity, freedom, and social justice”. In any case, he said that “it is not realistic to think that Spain will recover the fertility rate of 2,1 children per woman that guarantees the natural growth of its population.” “No developed country in the world has achieved this. Not even, ladies and gentlemen, those that have applied the most aggressive birth control policies. Not even those that have curtailed the freedom of young people by restricting the right to abortion,” he stressed.
