The government has decided that giving 400€ a month to any woman that acuse a man of “gender violence” isn’t enough, now they want that judges don’t decide when a woman has been victim of “gender violence”, it would be the regional and town council employees or the feminist “gender equality” bureau who decide.

The measure also states that fathers no longer can ask the judges to stop psychological treatment of the kids (women can take the kids from psychologists to psychologists till they find one that says what they want). The psychologists federation in Spain has stated that the kids could suffer great damage by receiving treatment for being victims of having a dad that has been violent to their moms when the man could be innocent. The psychologist findings are used in custody battles.

Once a woman acuse a man recibes 400€ a month and other help in the form of social and psychological benefits for her and the children. Now the woman wouldn’t have to accuse a man, it will only be necessary for women to ask for the subsidies by asking to be recognized as a victim of “gender violence” in any town council. The bar association explains that men could be accused by the state once a woman has been recognized as a victim of “gender violence” and that the accreditation of being a victim of “gender violence” could be used in custody battles. With this measure only with the word of a town council employee a situation of “gender violence” would be official, the judges would still decide when men are guilty but, paradoxically, the fact that the woman would be a victim of “gender violence” would be official even if a judge decides that the man isn’t guilty. The number of accusations of “gender violence” keeps rising and this is used by the feminist associations to ask for more and more resources to fight it. The number of women killed by domestic violence in Spain was one of the lowest in the world before the law against “gender violence”, after it the number of women murdered by domestic violence has remained stable, around 1.5 per million inhabitants a year.

The bar associations, judges associations and the psychologists associations have protested to no avail.

The measure is only one of the new measures that the new government want to implement. There is talk about considering “gender violence” a sort of terrorism, and limit freedom of expression in cases of support to say terrorism and considering hate speech any expression that offends or disrespect victims of “gender violence” in their condition as victims of “gender violence” and therefore a criminal offense.

The measure will come into effect on September the 10th. Only possibility to stop it now is to contest it at the constitutional jury, if this isn’t the case (you need 50 senators), it’s a certainty that it will go to the constitutional jury anyway, but what it would say is anyone’s guess.

Madness has come to live in Spain and stated that loves the weather and food, doesn’t seem is going to leave anytime soon.

EDIT: words

EDIT2: “In this sense, the recognition of the rights of the victims can be accredited by the report of the Public Prosecutor's Office, social services, specialized services or shelter services for victims of gender violence.” So not just social services and specialized services in town councils, also shelters independently at their own discretion.
