The Senate passed a first reading with amendments to the Penal Code and this continues to be the center of attention. Feminist groups called for the three exceptions to the anti-abortion clauses in protests in front of the National Congress. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new code proposal does not allow for the three exceptions (rape, incest, or a non-viable fetus). It does include stiffer penalties for certain types of homicides. The legislation ups the penalties for rape, including 20 years in prison if a minor is involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the reality is that the Senate approved a report from a special committee and is currently awaiting a second report to approve the code and send it to the Chamber of Deputies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As currently worded, the new code would provide qualified immunity to the state, the National District and the city governments and churches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The statute of limitations for corruption crimes is extended to 20 years, when in the old code corruption crimes do not expire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These arguments will continue for the coming months as the final version of the legislation is worked out in the Congress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joel Santos had announced the government would submit a new Penal Code when Ramon Rogelio Genao went ahead and submitted a bill to the Congress that ends its working sessions on 26 July 2024 and resumes with reelected legislators and new legislators on 16 August 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
