The Minister of Justice, Rafael Catalá, announced today in the Plenary Session of Congress that Spain will recognize the right of registration in the Civil Registry of children of Spaniards born through surrogacy abroad, also known as surrogacy. In the debate on the entire Civil Registry reform bill, Catalá explained that the PP will introduce an amendment to the reform during its processing in Congress, to adapt Spanish legislation to what is established in two recent rulings of the European Court of Rights. Human Rights of Strasbourg (ECHR), which recognize the right of filiation of these minors. "Not recognizing the relationship of filiation between children born by these techniques and their parents is contrary to and violates the European Convention on Human Rights," said the head of Justice.
Surrogacy or surrogate motherhood, also known as surrogate motherhood, is a form of assisted reproduction that allows people with illnesses, without a partner or homosexuals, to become fathers or mothers. On the other hand, Catalá Phone Number Database has highlighted that the reform of the Civil Registry will mean an annual saving of 64 million euros for citizens and more than 856,000 birth and death procedures will be avoided, which can be carried out directly in hospitals. "The health centers will act as a single window where elements of the Civil Registry will be processed," said the minister, alluding to the births and deaths that will be carried out from the hospitals, thus avoiding travel. The entire parliamentary opposition has rejected the new Civil Registry model, considering it a "privatization of a public service" by handing over management to the registrars, although they have celebrated the future amendment regarding surrogacy.
However, they have criticized the Government for the fact that the amendment was produced after two rulings by the ECtHR and not at the initiative of the Government itself, while they have regretted that the reform recovers the differentiation between marital and non-marital affiliation. Immediately afterwards, the minister defended in plenary session the reform of the Voluntary Jurisdiction Law that will mean the dejudicialization of certain matters, which will be processed by other legal operators instead of judges and magistrates. "It is about simplifying some procedures, seeking a less expensive and faster channel in a context of legal guarantees," explained the head of Justice, who specified that the files related to fundamental and minor rights will continue to be assigned to judges. With this, he said, the workload of the magistrates will be reduced in line with the measures to streamline Justice implemented by the Ministry.
