The Navarre Parliament once again adopts a law to recognize victims of police abuse

  • In this legislature, the law on recognition of the victims of the extreme right and of the police forces, annulled by the Constitutional Court, has been adopted for the second time. The current Law will be administrative in nature and will cover court judgments.

The Parliament of Navarre has adopted with the votes in favour of Geroa Bai, EH Bildu, ahal Dugu, Orain Bai and Left-Ezkerra the law protecting victims of politically motivated violence provoked by police and para-police or far-right groups. UPN and pp voted against and the SNP abstained. Thus, it will replace the previous law adopted in 2015, which was suspended by the Constitutional Court in July 2018, considering that an illegal commission of inquiry into cases would be created.

They have given an administrative character to this new law and have insisted that it will not replace the decisions that may arise from the courts for it to enter into force without being challenged by the Constitutional.

This change has generated many debates, even among the parties that have promoted the law. EH Member Bildu Bakartxo Ruiz denounced last week that she wanted to "empty the law" by passing the text of the law by the parliamentary committee; in Thursday's session she also showed a bittersweet feeling, because in her opinion there has been "self-censorship". Orain Bai's parliamentarian, Laura Pérez, reiterated the same view and pointed out that the SNP amendments have set limits to the law.

It has drawn attention to the position of the PSN, which supported the law of 2015, but has opted for abstention, after tabling amendments to the other designed to pass the screening of the Constitutional. UPN and PP have not seen any trajectory in the law: "Or it will be repealed or annulled," said Ana Beltrán, secretary general of pp in the Lower House.

Following the passage of the law, Geroa Bai spokesman Koldo Martínez wanted to make it clear that the goal "is not to put some victims in front of others". In his opinion, although situations are different, "suffering is the same". Ezker Batua believes that the law will serve to take steps towards reparation, as so far the victims have only found "the impunity of those who were their victims".
