Spain passes 'only yes means yes' sex-consent law
By EUobserver
Lawmakers in Spain passed legislation where consent on sex must be affirmative and cannot be assumed to have been given by default or silence, reports the Guardian newspaper. Also known "as the only yes means yes law", the legislation passed with 205 votes in favour, 141 against and 3 abstentions. The far-right Vox voted against it.
