The reform consisted of eliminating point 3 of Article 315 of the Penal Code, which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boe.es\/buscar\/act.php?id=BOE-A-1995-25444&b=484&tn=1&p=20150331#a315\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">stated the following<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\"<strong>Those who, acting in a group or individually but in agreement with others, coerce other people to start or continue a strike, shall be punished<\/strong> with a prison sentence of one year and nine months to three years or with a fine of eighteen months to twenty-four months.\"<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>What the left in Spain is doing is establishing a totalitarian concept of law<\/strong>, according to which coercion goes unpunished if committed by a union to force someone to strike (an act that is indeed violence), <strong>while at the same time praying or speaking out in front of an abortion center is considered \"coercion\".<\/strong>.

The events for which they were tried occurred in 2022, that is, after the approval of the gag law used to persecute pro-life groups. <strong>The ruling states that \"there is no evidence\" that the defendants confronted, harassed, or assaulted any person<\/strong>, nor that they formed human chains blocking access to women or workers or cut off supplies to the abortion center. <strong>The defendants were limited to \"praying silently or in a low voice\", within the \"legitimate right to express faith\"<\/strong>, according to the ruling.<\/p>\n<p><strong>That judicial decision calls into question the prosecution<\/strong>, which is dependent on the government and had requested the conviction of the accused, stating that the aforementioned acts were \"harassment and intimidation,\" <strong>but it also exposes the gag law promoted by the government of Pedro S\u00e1nchez<\/strong>, a law made to intimidate and persecute the legitimate right of members of the pro-life movement to pray and to inform about the reality of abortion in their peaceful gatherings.<\/p>\n<p><big>A persecution promoted by the same people who allow tributes to terrorists<\/big><\/p>\n<p>I have left one piece of information for the end, relating to the events in question: <strong>the events judged took place in Vitoria, in the same Basque region where<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2024\/01\/05\/el-psoe-denuncia-la-pinata-de-ferraz-pero-no-los-458-homenajes-a-etarras-en-2023\/\">the government has allowed hundreds of tributes to ETA terrorists<\/a>, events in which the murderers of hundreds of people, including children and babies, have been glorified.
