The spokesman for IU-Greens in the city of Murcia, Esther Herguedas voted against the approval of the ordinance regulating prostitution in the city.
The directive in question has gone through this process in the Social Affairs Committee held today it has been approved with the votes of PP and PSOE.
Herguedas has stated that the reason for the rejection is "convinced of the futility of this policy to end prostitution, as demonstrated by the various experiences in other Spanish municipalities".
Moreover, says the mayor of IU-Greens, "in places where it has been applied has been that what these ordinances is contributing to aggravate situations of trafficking, trafficking in women and sexual exploitation, other behaviors that are classified as crimes since these women stems into spaces where they are most vulnerable and can more easily fall into the hands of operating networks. "
Herguedas identified as the paradigmatic case of Catalonia, in which the sum of the bylaws and the Government itself has led to the proliferation of numerous brothels and even macroprostíbulos.
"Thus, the ordinances, which are sold as a formula to combat sexual exploitation in reality become instruments to promote it".
The city spokesman IU-Green believes that eliminating prostitution is necessary to act from a state framework, something that is not, in his opinion for "the big economic interests that move in this business of sex."
"While this does not occur, bylaws are only a sample of social cynicism that does not support the operation in public, but accepts and even frowns which occurs in the private sphere," he concluded.
