Ayuso anuncia una ley contra la burocracia: cada nueva norma exigirá derogar otra

Madrid's President Isabel Díaz Ayuso has announced a new law aimed at combating bureaucracy, stating that every new regulation will require the repeal of another. The new obligations for the business sector will only take effect on two fixed dates each year, January 2nd and July 1st. The initiative, presented at the XXIX National Congress of the Family Enterprise, seeks to eliminate obsolete laws and end administrative suffocation on businesses.

The measure is based on the principle of "one in, one out," meaning that for every new administrative burden placed on the productive sector, an equivalent one must be eliminated. The law introduces control mechanisms, such as mandatory evaluations of regulations before and after implementation to ensure they serve their intended purpose or can be abolished.

Time limits for certain administrative procedures will also be established, and private entities accredited in administrative processes will be allowed to speed up processing times. The law further reinforces the Invention Accelerator, which will reduce priority project timelines by half, and strengthens the Open Line against Bureaucracy, a direct channel for reporting unjustified delays.

The announcement came amid Ayuso's criticism of the government, accusing it of promoting communist ideals and attempting to undermine individual ambition. She warned that Spain faces an existential crossroads and vowed to use all legal tools to preserve private property, the free market, and the rule of law.
