  "account": "The reform of the citizen security law, also known as the \"gag law\", has stalled under the governments of Pedro Sánchez. Despite passing its first parliamentary hurdle in October 2024, the project has been held back by disagreements between supporting parties, including PSOE, Sumar, EH Bildu, PNV, ERC, Podemos, and Junts. This is the third time the reform has been frustrated, previously due to the dissolution of the Cortes in 2019 and an insufficient agreement in 2023. The project's parliamentary committee has not convened in two years due to party differences.",
  "summary": "Articles on disobedience and disrespect towards police officers caused the third attempt to modify a rule that has been in force for over 11 years to fail.",
