Feijóo pledges to repeal Spain’s trans and housing laws
PP leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo says his election programme will repeal Spain’s Trans Law and change other laws.
The Trans Law lets people change their registered sex and name without medical reports or prior hormone treatment.
Feijóo says the law does not respect women and argues biological sex should determine participation in sports competitions.
He also proposes changes to sexual-offence sentencing, including restoring reviewable life sentences for some cases of child sexual abuse, repeated rape and sexual assault, and certain killings where the victim is concealed.
He also plans to repeal the Housing Law, saying rents have risen and access to housing has worsened.
His housing proposals include supporting construction of one million homes and a law to remove people occupying homes within 48 hours.
Feijóo has also criticised the government’s migration policy and claimed that 500,000 irregular migrants entered Spain under Sánchez, compared with about 95,000 under Rajoy; he is due to present his programme the next day.
Alberto Núñez Feijóo said Spain’s People’s Party would pledge to repeal the Trans Law and the current Housing Law in its electoral programme.
He said the Trans Law did not respect women and described legal gender recognition as frivolous.
Feijóo said the party would change the law known as “only yes means yes” and restore reviewable permanent imprisonment in several cases.
He said the Housing Law had not lowered rents or improved access to housing.
The PP leader also proposed measures to increase housing supply, including building one million homes.

What people are saying
Declaring yourself a man or a woman in a Civil Registry is a frivolity that I leave to Sanchismo.
The law does not respect women.
Biological sex has to determine sports competitions.
If we take the Rajoy and Sánchez terms, across Spain, about 95,000 irregular migrants entered under Rajoy, while 500,000 have entered under Sánchez.
