The initiative, which seeks a review of the regulations to impose more severe penalties for serious crimes, has been led by Sílvia Guerrero, mother of a young man from Vilagrassa whose son, Juan, was murdered last year in Tàrrega. According to Guerrero, the alleged perpetrator, a 17-year-old minor, "knew very well what he was doing".
“"We want to be heard, to be taken into account, and to achieve higher sentences and closed regimes. For serious crimes, sentences that match the gravity."
The petition, which has gathered over 100,000 signatures, was delivered at the doors of the lower house, where Sílvia Guerrero was accompanied by members of five other families affected by similar situations. All of them share the goal of achieving a legal framework they consider fairer and more appropriate for the seriousness of the acts.
“"What would you want if the murder victim was your child?"
