The Ministry of Justice, headed by the Minister Pillar Wolfyou are pushing the Registry to Ana Obregon Do not get away with it and reject the registration of the granddaughter that the presenter has obtained through a surrogate in Miami. The ministry puts all the legal arguments on the table so that the Registry understands that the practice followed by Obregón is absolutely illegal in Spain, and that it cannot register Ana Sandra Lequiothe posthumous daughter of Aless Lequioallegedly conceived with his frozen semen.
As minister, Pilar Llop already spoke out against this practice at the time the controversial news of the birth of Obregón’s granddaughter, whose mother is listed in Miami, after being born through payment to a woman to gestate the little girl in her womb.

Llop clearly stated that the expression “surrogacy” is a mere “euphemism to hide something that means a violation of human rights, the sexual rights of women and the rights of children.” The minister already assured then that her department was working on a bill to combat this type of pregnancy, considering it a new form of human trafficking.
And it is that it is precisely this ministry on which the management of the Civil Registry depends, the body that is going to have to decide whether or not to register the little girl born in Florida, based on the 2010 instruction that allows this procedure, citing the ” superior good of the minor”, or it stops its processing due to the long list of irregularities contrary to Spanish legislation that Obregón has committed. A whole “strainer” that allows more than 2,500 babies born by surrogacy to have been registered in Spain in a decade, despite the fact that this practice is prohibited.
The minister’s statements have already translated into pressure on those responsible for the Registry to try not to register Ana’s granddaughter without further ado. And it is that Llop compared Obregón’s decisions regarding the conception of that creature with the non-compliance of one of the universal Human Rights: “Trafficking in human beings is a criminal phenomenon that violates each and every one of the fundamental rights of a person, against his life, his health, his sexual and reproductive health, against his freedom, his honor… is a heinous crime.”
Pilar LLop took advantage of the moment of making these statements to affirm that, in her opinion, surrogacy is comparable to the crime of trafficking, for which she announced that she is working on a Trafficking Law, which has already been raised to the first round of the Council of Ministers “and that it has received reports from the advisory bodies and a very favorable report from the CGPJ”.
With this new Law, from Justice they want to classify new forms of trafficking, such as servitude or slavery and go “beyond the prosecution of crime.” The minister is working on “a comprehensive text that addresses everything that has to do with trafficking in human beings, so that society cannot treat or commit crimes with people.”
According to the person in charge of Justice, “in a democracy it is not possible to allow the bodies of people or people to be another object of consumption. In a democracy, human beings are not bought, they are not sold and human beings are not trafficked humans”, concluded Llop.
