It is misleading the viral posting on the FIT and Victoria Donda deputies

Ricardo Russo, Head of the Department of Immunology and Rheumatology at Garrahan Hospital,
He was arrested on May 29, accused of distributing and producing images of child badual abuse. In this context, an article on Facebook indicates that Romina Del Plá, national deputy of the left and the Workers' Front (FIT), "voted against the bill that creates a prison for possession of child badgraphy". The message also indicates that

Nicolás del Caño

and Natalia González Seligra – the two national legislators of the

FIT

– "were absent at the time of the vote" and, finally, that

Victoria Donda

He opposed a bill "for an effective prison for rapists".

The publication on Facebook that disseminated these versions on legislators was shared 15,000 times, according to the data of the publication itself. In addition, he received nearly 1,500 comments and more than 4,000 reactions.

What happened in the FIT business?

The truth is that Del Plá did not vote against, but abstained (that is, he did not express a favorable opinion or unfavorable). She was the only MP to have decided to abstain from voting on the draft law providing for sentences ranging from 3 to 6 years of imprisonment to people who own images showing situations of child abuse. children and
voted in March 2018, as indicated in the registration of

The reason the legislator did not accompany the project, as explained to the newspaper
Clarin at that time it was "that no social problem with these characteristics has been solved by means of punitiveness". In this same note, Del Plá said: "We do not support the idea that with punitivism, we want to know what steps they will take to achieve an integral intervention on the subject".

In the file of

Donda's negative vote

Next, with respect to Donda, the posting refers to the negative vote that the legislator
Act 27 375 in 2017. This standard is an amendment to another law sanctioned in the mid-1990s called
Law implementing the penalty deprived of liberty and regulating, inter alia, the benefits to which detainees may have access (house arrest, temporary exits, etc.).

Mario Juliano, director of the Criminal Thought Association and Necochea's criminal judge, told Reverso that "it's not a law specifically related to restricting the rights of bad offenders." [N. de R.: violadores]"In addition, he indicated that this legal change sought to" restrict the rights of certain categories of offenses who could not accede to early departures ", including violations of badual integrity, including rape .

As a result, Donda has voted against a law that not only restricts house arrest or temporary removal of persons convicted of rape, but also those who have committed other offenses, such as homicide, drug offenses (marketing) and customs offenses. (contraband), among others.

"This law, as well as the rest of the reforms of recent years, is completely at odds with the constitutional principle of resocialization of sentences." Resocialization naturally means that all citizens have the right to access freedoms, unless information is not reported. " very serious that discourage this type of outings, "concluded Juliano.

In December 2018, the National Member explained on her Twitter account that the law was not "against rapists" because it defined the benefits to which inmates could have access depending on the type of conviction. In accordance with Donda's position, the Argentine Human Rights Coordinator – an organization that employs him to intervene in cases of human rights violations – has issued a
statement criticizing the approved bill.

During her speech to Congress, the MP said she would present an alternative project to limit the benefits of those convicted of rape, in particular, but not to those who have committed other "less serious" crimes ". However, no other alternative project was discussed at the 2018 sessions or in 2019, according to the
Registry of the Chamber of Deputies of the nation.
