of Montero, rather than the law, have pointed out that it was put together hastily and rushed through too quickly.

Pedro Sanchez, president of Spain’s PSOE­ Unidas Podemos coalition government, had assumed that the Supreme Court would come to the new law’s rescue. Instead the tribunal stood by the reductions, which it said were “obligatory.”

The government had already announced plans to tweak the Sexual Freedom Law, despite Montero’s rabid opposition, and as January came to an end, Sanchez made it clear that modifications would have to be made.

Aware that it cannot reverse the reduced sentences, an official statement from the Moncloa promised to “resolve the detected problems” in future rape and sexual abuse trials. No mention was made as to how this would be done, suggesting that it could prove to be less simple than it sounds.

Meanwhile, the Podemos party, to which Montero belongs, insisted that there was “still no agreement” over the solution. Does Montero, who always likes to have the last word, want it this time too?
