PP pledges to end self-ID law in Spain
Spain's PP plans to repeal the Trans Law's self-ID provisions and revise gender sports categories. Feijóo presents the manifesto Tuesday.
English · Original discussion in Spanish · Published
The People's Party (PP) will include in its electoral program the elimination of free sens self-determination as regulated by the Trans Law, a revision of that norm, and the establishment of biological sens for women's sports categories. The measure affects articles 43 and 44 of the law.
The **PP** will include in its electoral program for the general elections on **November 29** the removal of free sens self-determination recorded in the Trans Law. The document, coordinated by Deputy Secretary General for Sectoral Coordination, **Alma Ezcurra**, dedicates a specific section to women with measures on equality, birth rates, and assisted reproduction. **Alberto Núñez Feijóo** presents the program this Tuesday in Madrid, at an event to which the party gives maximum importance.
## What changes in the civil registry
The proposal suppresses articles **43 and 44** of the law, those that establish who can request the change of the sens mention in the Civil Registry. The PP argues that such self-determination generates "legal insecurity in the name of Equality" and deepens the erasure of women. The program adds that "we will protect minors." That is: the registry change would no longer depend solely on the person's will and would again require some type of requirement, although the document does not detail which one.
## Sports, birth rates, and the rest of the section
The program also commits the party to review the Trans Law as a whole and to establish biological sens for women's sports categories. In the same block appear measures on birth rates and assisted reproduction, although access to the document is partial. Tuesday's presentation will serve to learn the full text.
## A shift three weeks before the vote
There are **three weeks** left until the elections and the PP places the Trans Law among its promises. It is not a minor matter: the norm was approved in **2023** and registry self-determination was one of its most discussed points. The party has not specified how it would articulate the reform or what requirements would replace free will. Any legal change of this magnitude requires a parliamentary majority and goes through the Council of State and legislative procedure, so it is advisable to take the promise for what it is: an electoral commitment, not a current norm.
