The draft law will be debated in Parliament is only the first of a set of proposals that the Socialists intend to deliver in Parliament. The Socialist parliamentary group stands today in Sao Bento a proposed amendment to the Criminal Procedure Code that aims for greater support to victims of domestic violence.
But Mrs Elza Pais – one of the promoters of the project – the PUBLIC confirmed that PS intends to present “new projects” on the subject. “They are already on the table,” sa id the parliamentary without that sense follow these proposals.
The project comes within weeks of António Costa of choice for Secretary General of the PS. For over once the new socialist leader referred to the phenomenon. In the last Congress, at the end of November last year, Costa gave the pulpit to actress Maria War Heaven to read the names of the murdered women in 2014, imposing a moment of silence lawmakers. In his Christmas message, presented the year 2015 as the change in particular to “fight phenomena to be ashamed of, such as domestic violence.”
Elza Pais says only that the parliamentary group and the new leader are “in tune” on the issue.
For now, this line results in a proposition to enfrenatr a problem. “The current law already provides for the removal of the aggressor measure of coercion, but the measures more difficult to apply,” said Elza Pais. In particular, when “victim and perpetrator live in the house,” he adds. So “must present the alternative of social security can support the alleged perpetrator, if it is proved that this does not have resources to do [in finding a place of residence]” during the process. Allowing it to be the victim to remain in the place of residence, rather than having to be accepted in shelters.
The project also supports the possibility of a judge to “regulation provisóriada pension and parental responsibility “If there dependents, during the process. “For the victim shall decide to drop the aggression frame with added confidence and help in the process of their empowerment [against the aggressor],” says Elza Pais.
According to the MP, the most recent accounting the phenomenon has listed 42 women killed in the year 2014. Over the past decade, 398 women died from domestic violence.
About the receipt of bids by other parliamentary group, Elza Pais takes his ignorance despite to express that “prevails the upper value of defending victims’ rights.
However, yesterday, there was a warning about the possible consequences of the change.
The Portuguese Association for Equality Parental spoke out against the proposal, considering that the measure “aims to keep children from one parent.” The Association maintains that the approval “will result in the institutionalization of parental alienation, as it will give alienating parents an expedited instrument to effect the same, through false accusations of domestic violence.” In a statement sent to Lusa agency, APIPDF caveat that it is “against all forms of violence and addressed to anyone (man or woman, child, young, adult or elderly)”, but adds that “it is not the repression” that resolve the problems associated with domestic violence and parenting, but “acting upstream, helping families” in cases of divorce or separation and post-divorce.
