Congress to debate making prostitution illegal in Spain next week

There are more signs that Spain may outlaw prostitution very soon, which is currently still legal, meaning that adult clubs across the country will have to close in a move to reduce exploitation.

The two biggest political parties, the PSOE and PP, are in agreement that the shady sector should be shut down, and have indicated that they will vote in favour of a move with MPs on the government side, and supporters of a ban.

The Congreso, which is the lower house of parliament in Spain, will debate the proposal next week and it looks certain that they will approve moving to the next stage of preparing full draft legislation.

The hope is that a new law could be in place before the next general election in autumn 2023.
