The Spanish government has finally approved the reform of the National Security Law, but the great power granted to the public authorities to deal with very ill-defined crisis situations raises serious concerns about how it could affect our fundamental rights. Miriam Frias, financial assistant at 11Onze, analyses the news.<\/b><\/h3>\n

The new text does not affect the essential content of the law, even so, it centralises more competences and specifies some actions to be carried out in crisis situations to guarantee that in such scenarios the country will have the basic resources.<\/span><\/p>\n

The concept is nothing new, and both Spain and other countries have laws designed to guarantee critical resources, urging business and state collaboration, during a context of extreme crisis, as we suffered during the Covid-19 pandemic. Even so, and as Miriam Frias explains, “<\/span>modifications have been made that have not reached the public and are still an unknown quantity<\/b>“.<\/span><\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
