The event will feature social movements and affected groups sharing their experiences to illustrate the impact of these laws on their daily lives and struggles\u2014diverse yet with strikingly similar effects. Among the hundred or so people who attended, there was a wide range of movements, some long-standing and others more recent. Yayoflautas<\/a>, Stop Rubber Bullets, Disarm Madrid<\/a>, Al Yudur<\/a>, the PAH Carabanchel<\/a>, SOS Racism Madrid<\/a>, No to logging, Afemtras<\/a> and Ala Cannabis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At a table moderated by Gabriela L\u00f3pez Neyra<\/strong>, coordinator of the Sira Center, Carles Guillot<\/strong>, of Stop Rubber Bullets<\/a>, He shared the impact of a rubber bullet that ruptured his eye. On one hand, the physical effects: "Necrosis, headaches, loss of an eye, and vertigo." On the other, the psychological effects: "Post-traumatic stress, anxiety, depression, nightmares, recurring thoughts.". Beyonc\u00e9<\/strong>, A woman who works as a sex worker in an industrial park in Madrid and is a member of Afemtras, says that they want to be on the street because it's their workplace. "To avoid fines, we have to go far away, to places where we can't look out for each other," she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After listening to the needs and demands expressed by the affected movements, the spokespeople of the parliamentary groups of PSOE, ERC, Sumar and Podemos<\/strong> They participated at the end of the event to discuss and debate the reform of the Citizen Security Law and the Penal Code. During the session, reference was made to the failed attempt to reform the Law in the previous legislature, which did not address many of the demands of civil society. Therefore, and taking into account the promise included in the investiture agreement between the PSOE and Sumar (October 2023), they demanded firm commitments to ensure that this is the last year of the Gag Law, as also requested by numerous international organizations, such as the one made by the Commissioner for Human Rights of the Council of Europe in May 2023<\/a> to the Spanish State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Along these lines, and with the aim of carrying out a reform that guarantees rights and freedoms, a document has been publicly presented, promoted by No Somos Delito (We Are Not a Crime), which contains the 10 Red Lines agreed upon by Civil Society<\/a> even before the law is processed. Fern\u00e1ndez, from No Somos Delito, explained that "they must lead the way in the reform process, to make it clear to the Government that without the application of these limits, any change in the law will be a mere cosmetic change.".<\/p>\n\n\n\n![](\"https:\/\/centrosira.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/photo1718036229_1.webp\")
