In an open letter addressed to Alberto Núñez Feijóo, the leader of Spain's People's Party (PP), survivors of sexual abuse within the Catholic Church have articulated their frustrations regarding the party's failure to adopt a consistent position on key legislative measures. They had anticipated that the PP would support their cause both in the Spanish Congress and the European Parliament, but have been disappointed by the divergence in their voting behavior.

The victims highlight the grave injustices they face, as many of their abusers managed to evade legal consequences due to the statute of limitations. These survivors recount how, despite having the courage to speak out against the predators who abused them, they found themselves legally powerless to pursue justice. The letter underscores a broader institutional failure, accusing both religious and legal authorities of systematically protecting offenders rather than safeguarding the vulnerable.

The communication also points to the urgent need for reform in how legislation regarding pedophilia is structured, specifically criticizing the statutory prescription laws that allow these heinous crimes to go unpunished. The survivors argue that such laws are effectively allies of both the predators and their protectors, and they urge political leaders like Feijóo to take a firm stance in their favor, ensuring accountability and justice for past abuses.
