The resonances of surrogacy do not stop growing after the events in the US with Ana Obregón. The Popular Party, in its twisted previous demands, has decided to open a debate about its organization in Spain, where it is wrong, a red line: the “commodification” of the surrogate mother.
The Januese admit that there is no unique situation in the practice, but they think that it will come to the organization that “in no case” will go through indirectly or directly to the woman who gave birth, receiving any kind of economic money.
This is the first time that the PP has spoken openly about the need to regulate this matter, after limiting itself to raising a simple debate on the subject for years.
Ana Obregón, a well-known 68-year-old reporter and communicator, took her daughter from another pregnant mother in a hospital in Miami (USA), from where she was in a wheelchair, a scene that generated all kinds of comments. and the controversy, which of course spread throughout the republic.
Faced with severe criticism from the Government, which goes so far as to speak of “violence against women”, according to the words of Irene Montero, the PP defends that the law must first be obeyed, since this practice is “injustice”. After opening up Spain, they did not stop the discussion and controlling cases in the market.
Avoid “legalese”.
In Genoa, they show that there are now “legal cubits” through which children are recorded in the Spanish consulates, as it was done, by providing a judicial resolution from the country of origin, in which the birth of the child was determined, the way that the Supreme Court declared null in 2022, as it is understood the filiation of a non-biological mother must be obtained by adoption.
The red line for the PP is the “accommodation” that the ruling party considers “despicable” and that they cannot talk about. They are in favor of debating other cases, knowing of course that this is an elaborate controversy in which there are “different senses,” they add.
The current leadership of the PP, under Alberto Núñez Feijóo, states that the duty to open a debate on the regulation of this phenomenon is consistent with the party’s position expressed in its 17th National Congress, where the debate was requested in “depth”. grave and serene.”
thinking of the children
The same sources admit that it is necessary to discuss the matter, since this question is open within the party, where visions tend to coexist with moderate voices that reject the existence of the market around motherhood and those who emphasize the economic aspect. differences between expectant mothers and families who have a baby.
In the presentation of the last ideological debate of the PP, which in 2018 is now led by Senator Javier Maroto, the popular debates also emphasized the analysis of the “reality” of children who arrive in Spain and who are born. surrogacy in other countries, without reference to the position of the PP in this matter. In addition, it was decided to use the term “surrogacy” and not “surrogacy” option, as it was perceived to be more respectful of the children in this matter according to party sources.
In press statements, the general secretary of the PP and spokesperson for the PP in Congress, Cuca Gamarra, did not put the popular in this debate and demanded within the framework of “very calm meditation”, without forgetting that “it is the little ones who have rights that are placed in safety”.
