Spain Insists Anti-Violence Bracelets Worked as PP Seeks Reproach of Equality Minister

Félix Bolaños cites official briefings on Cometa faults to assert the safeguards held.

Overview

  • The government says the telematic bracelets never stopped functioning and continued sending alerts to protected women.
  • The Partido Popular has registered a motion to reprove Equality Minister Ana Redondo, with a debate scheduled next week in Congress.
  • PP leaders allege that 47 women were left exposed and attribute the issues to errors by a government contractor, a claim the government disputes.
  • PP official Jaime de los Santos reports three unanswered calls to Redondo between 9:47 and 11:19, while the minister was listed on the public agenda at an event in Valladolid.
  • Authorities acknowledge recent faults in the Cometa monitoring system, and Bolaños says institutional clarifications from the Fiscalía and the Equality Ministry resolve the incident.
