Therefore, it has legalized the "criminalization and persecution of the demonstrations," said the councilman, enabling actions permitted by the basic democratic rights such as freedom of speech and expression enshrined in the constitution pursued.
So, before a law that "public safety located in the old concept of public order", to punish actions as escraches concentrations before Congress and the Senate or climbing facades of government buildings, Murcia's change proposes a discussion involving all political forces and civil society and the preventive measures that stand out, "focusing on crime analysis and containment, as a social problem that encompasses socioeconomic variables and requires extensive work transversal ".
It is, according to Ramos, "a proposal that could share the other political groups in the City."
"It's time to portray such an important as this, on which the Council of Europe has been said that the bill was highly problematic issue," he continued.
In fact, self-responsible human rights institution, Nils Muiznieks, even said he did not believe that "these restrictions are necessary in a democratic society".
Finally, Murcia's change demands the resignation of the Interior Minister, promoter of the law, by his repeated willingness to violate human rights, among other things, the legalization of "Hot Return" on the border of Ceuta and Melilla, "contrary to international law and trying to immoral and inhumane way many human beings on our borders and who just want a better life."
