All adults will be required to provide “personal services” to the state if a crisis is ever declared in Spain, according to the reform of the National Security Law being prepared by the government.
The draft legislation – which incorporates lessons learned during the coronavirus pandemic – indicates that all citizens, without exception, must follow the orders and instructions of the relevant authorities if a state of crisis – or “situation of interest to national security” as it is termed in the document – is declared.
The reform also states that authorities can temporarily requisition all types of assets, take over or temporarily occupy those that are needed and suspend all activity. Citizens who are economically harmed by these actions have the right to compensation, according to the document. In its preliminary version, the bill does not include compensation for people whose services are required by the state.
The wording of the draft bill does not specifically mention Spanish citizens, but rather everyone who has reached the age of majority.
The document also states that media communication companies must work with the relevant authorities in case of a crisis
It is expected that the type of services required and material requisitioned will depend on the type of crisis, in other words, whether it is a health, environmental or economic emergency – although this is not explicitly stated in the reform. The text, however, does make it clear that the measures adopted will be gradual, proportional to the situation and only in place until the crisis is overcome.
The document adds that business and legal entities will also be required to work with authorities to overcome the crisis, whether materially or by providing services. Media communication companies must also work with the relevant authorities to publish information aimed at preventing the crisis or serving an operational purpose.
The wording is based on Article 30 of the Spanish Constitution, which states that “Spaniards have the duty and the right to defend Spain.” This is the same article that regulates mandatory military service, which was suspended in 2001. But it is not based on section 2, which concerns “Spaniards’ military obligation,” but rather on section 4, which states that “the duties of citizens in cases of severe risk, catastrophe or public calamity may be regulated by law” – a constitutional possibility that had not been developed until now.
Although the draft bill makes it mandatory for citizens to provide their services and assets in a crisis, the National Security Law is an ordinary law, which could lead to legal problems as only organic laws can affect fundamental rights. The Military Service Law adopted in 1991, for example, was organic. What’s more, it is the prime minister – not the Congress of Deputies – who is responsible for declaring a situation “of interest to national security,” i.e. a state of crisis. This is done by royal decree and the decision is then immediately communicated to Congress and the Senate.
The document underwent a first reading by the Spanish Cabinet on June 22. Once it receives final approval it will be presented to Congress. Regional governments and some parliamentary groups have already been informed of its contents.
Lessons from the pandemic
The 2015 National Security Law included a provision that gave the government a one-year deadline to present the upper and lower houses of parliament with a bill that would regulate “the preparation and disposition of resources for national security.” Instead of developing this new law, the Spanish government has decided to reform the current one based on what has been learned from fighting the coronavirus pandemic.
During the pandemic, the Spanish government did not declare a “situation of interest to national security,” but a state of alarm instead, which is regulated by a law passed in 1981. However, the reform of the National Security Law may be better at addressing these types of health emergencies in future.
For example, one of the biggest problems in the early months of the coronavirus crisis was the shortage of vital materials such as face masks, respirators and personal protective equipment (PPE). The huge demand for these products and scant supply led to speculation, while export restrictions from producer countries further stressed the market. The draft bill includes measures that would seek to prevent a repeat of this situation, try to guarantee the supply of essential resources and prioritize self-sufficiency.
In a bid to achieve this objective, the National Security Council will create and update a catalog of human and material resources, both public and private, that could be used in case of a crisis. This list will be approved by the Cabinet and include feedback from regional governments and local authorities. Plans to prepare and put the assets included in the catalog at the disposal of the state will also be approved, and exercises to test their availability will be carried out, although this would not involve any actual deployment of resources.

Tell me again about how “evil” Franco was.
POSITIVE DISCRIMINATION
Some years ago the British Government paid the well known psychologist Hans Eysenck to do a survey on intelligence.
Aftera lengthy survey his findings were that;-
The indian race were the most intelligent
the white race slightly behind
and way below were the blacks.
His work and his 79 psychology books were banned from the uiversities
and they said he was a racist.
He said in the physical survey blacks were the strongest physically,
so how can it be racist ?
This led the government to bring in ” Positive Discrimination”
which meant blacks were to be given extra marks in schools and the CBI were told give them preference in the jobs market, but this wa snot enough
so a programme was brought in where white children would be deliberately dumbed down to the level of blacks.
I was working in a school and refused to penalise white children , and was asked to leave my teaching job, i saw white kids leaving school at 15 and 16 years of age unable to read or write, this made white kids unemployable, just what the government wanted.
White kids are being left behind, the government then used this as an excuse to people traffic in foreign labour to do the jobs, which was the plan all along.
Sounds like a carbon-copy of the US ‘National Defence Authorisation Act’… where The State OWNS you – lock, stock & barrel!
@Seemore Butt. Not doubting what the survey found, but most Indians I see are now wearing masks…outside!
They use Covid as cover. This is really for expected CMEs and the like. When everything electrical fails, all hell will break out. We had a recent minor CME and the magnetic field only just coped. The field is falling, down – 25%. If we get hit with a big CME, expect chaos, like empty supermarkets, very limited medical care and full blown martial law with shoot to kill.
This is partly why so many governments are very jittery and they become very vulnerable to military attack. Hence all the military exercises. We don’t know where the hit will and we don’t know how much of the planet goes down. But there is around 72hrs notice as the blast makes its way from the Sun. A CME doesn’t leave the Sun like a straight beam of light. It leaves the Sun and forms a spiral, so there is some notice and this 72hr period allows them to workout who gets hit and how bad.
leftist dictatorship ! there will never be a natural
crisis or desaster, even when an asteroit threatens
to hit the earth. ONLY ARTEFICIAL CONSTRUCTED
INCIDENTS !
@ SEEMORE BUTT
BRITAIN has a long history since victorias times of
children slave labour in coal mines, tread mills, heavy
industry + chimney sweeping. NEVER IN GERMANY !
britain became rich by EAST INDIAN CO opiumtrade
and on the bones of its own poor people . in the end all
sucks rotschild .

“He said in the physical survey blacks were the strongest physically,
so how can it be racist ?”
It’s racist because it’s putting blacks down. In the new world, blacks have not only got to be promoted as superior physically, but mentally too. This way, it destroys the whites, indoctrinating them into believing they’re inferior, in every way, shape and form to blacks. It’s demoralization.
We all know that blacks are stupid, but sadly, whites have followed suit, courtesy of the last two generations growing up with blacks and their vulgar culture. Go on any JewTube channel about race and you’ll see a a mixed couple giving their opinions on racist. They’ll be asked who the racist is; the white man that calls a black man a nigger, or the black man who calls the white man a honkey. They always say the white man, but not the black, because they’ve been conditioned into believing that racism is institutional and only belonging to white people – because of the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade and Imperialism. In other words, because the British people achieved to be better and provide a lasting civilization for their descendants, this is automatically classed as racist.
As long as Mr Hook Nose remains in charge nothing will change.
The sad reality is, when you see blacks in a good job, they’re there, not through merit but, because of their race. The jew has destroyed what the west symbolized – meritocracy. It is now a viciously racist, society, where those called racists are in fact not and vice versa.
Blacks are, next to the jew, the most racist people I’ve ever known. They can’t string a sentence together without bringing their race into it. The jew has taught them persecution complex and victim hood and they use that to beat whitey over the head with. Remove the jew, then remove the blacks and you get your civilization back. Failure to do either and the European civilization falls.
I think this is a constant game of cat and mouse. The cats being the jews, who chase the mice (whites) from successful civilization to successful civilization, ultimately resulting in collapse, fragmentation and rebuilding. Atlantis is possibly an example. Blacks don’t do anything above low civilization. It therefore means one of two things:
1. They’re not an old race, as we’re continually told, but instead a very young one, much younger than the white and Asian ones.
2. They’re just incredibly stupid and haven’t the common sense to boil an egg.
