Some newspapers inform us that three parties have opted out of the service, which was the brainchild of Parliament Speaker Josep Rull: Vox, the PP, and the Catalan Alliance. By party, there are eight members from Junts, five from the PSC, four from the CUP, two from ERC, and one from Comuns.</p>]]></description>

It is one of the measures that are part of the gender equality plan that was approved last term and that will be applied for the first time this term. It will be voluntary and, therefore, will not be added to the three requirements for taking up the seat: to present credentials at the Electoral Board, to promise or swear an oath to the Spanish Constitution and Catalonia's Statute of Autonomy, and to present a declaration of assets and activities. It has already been made clear that Vox's eleven MPs will refuse to sign this document. "Evidently none of the eleven Vox MPs will sign the declaration. We do not take lessons from those who attack our police every day, many of whom are women," wrote the leader of the far right in Catalonia, Ignacio Garriga. He adds that party members will participate in any of the courses or talks on this issue either, as he considers it "a waste of time".</p>]]></description>
