What happened

Speaking on Hoy por Hoy, the PP leader outlines plans for a possible government. He presents no legislative text and does not settle how disagreement between teenagers and parents would be handled.

Alberto Núñez Feijóo wants a renewed debate on parental involvement in abortion decisions by 16- and 17-year-olds. He also proposes amending the euthanasia law and moving equality responsibilities to other departments.

Votuo editorial summary, linked to its source. This is not a literal quotation.

Votuo analysis

These are campaign proposals, not changes in force or an approved repeal. The interview indicates a policy direction, not the terms of any reform eventually agreed.

Reorganising a ministry and changing rights governed by legislation are separate matters. Feijóo says equality responsibilities would move elsewhere, rather than all those responsibilities disappearing. Without specific texts, the interview does not establish the final scope, conditions or implementation of any announced reform.

Editorial interpretation: implications and open questions based on the cited sources.
