The acceleration of the PP's normative chaos

PalmaThis Tuesday, we will foreseeably witness the approval of the law on strategic projects. Theoretically, a regulation that intended to make it simple and easy for citizen initiatives, and especially business ones, to obtain resources and permits quickly so as not to miss opportunities. As a society, one can disagree with how, but the objective is viable. Whoever has a good project, let doors open for them.

Now, what should worry us most is that the only thing this law will truly accelerate is regulatory chaos. The more than 70 amendments introduced mainly by the PP and also by Vox affect dozens of laws that have nothing to do with strategic projects. And I know that left-wing majorities have also done it. So what?

It is an outrage, an anti-democratic act, and a perversion of the system to use a law as a regulatory vehicle to change half of the legal order. If you want to cut back (more) Catalan, if you want to lower environmental regulations, or if you try to lower the level required by clinical psychologists to falsely claim that a problem has been solved, you must be brave and create specific draft laws. And why? Because this is the foreseen way for the norms that govern this and all communities. The Government creates a draft law, submits it to public consultation, the groups give their opinions, amend it, and a result emerges that is participated in by society. Not a back-door trick.

Not having a sufficient parliamentary majority, and having Vox be the one to give it to you, is certainly uncomfortable. But this does not justify that when it opens the door for you, you introduce all sorts of regulations without the debate to which we are entitled as a society.
