Petitions to the Chamber of Deputies

OBJECT : Our dogs are part of the family - they shouldn't be forced to wait alone outside the bakery, the butcher's or the gelateria. Problems: - Animals left outside are sometimes stolen - During heatwaves, being left tied up outside is dangerous for them. - Queues prolong the wait and cause stress for owners. The proposal - To allow dogs on a lead and under their owner's supervision into local shops (bakeries, butchers, ice-cream parlours, grocery shops), except in areas expressly prohibited for health or safety reasons - Introduce simple and practical rules: leashes compulsory; dogs permitted only if they do not disrupt service; no entry to preparation areas without a barrier; owners liable for any damage - Raise awareness amongst shopkeepers and the public about responsible behaviour (picking up after their dogs, keeping them on a leash, muzzling them if necessary)

OBJECT : This petition calls for legislation requiring property developers to appoint and pay for an accredited independent expert to inspect and verify the progress of construction works at each stage of the project. Payment of each instalment by the buyer would only be authorised once the expert has confirmed that the corresponding stage of construction has been completed. This would establish a framework that better protects buyers purchasing off-plan properties (VEFA).

OBJECT : To amend Article 12 of the Constitution as follows: 'The right to life and human dignity are inviolable'
