The bus had planned to go through today Pallejà and Barcelona, but the Mossos stopped it this morning at the toll of Martorell when it was heading towards the town of Baix Llobregat. The police have checked the vehicle's documentation, reviewed the status and finally decided immobilize it.

This morning a hundred people have focused on the access of Pallejà, where the entity had to do an act, to demonstrate against the coach.

The Department of Work, Afers Socials and Families requests the application of precautionary measures to prevent the circulation of the bus that spreads a discriminatory message towards transgender and intersex people. The decision is protected by article 24 of Law 11/2014 to guarantee the rights of lesbians, gays, bisexuals, transsexuals and intersex people and to eradicate homophobia, biphobia and transphobia.

The file has been processed to the Department of the Interior as well as to the town halls of the localities where the bus is scheduled to go, so that it is possible to adopt "the precautionary measures necessary to carry out the immediate cessation of circulation" of the vehicle by the competent institutions. Likewise, the sanctioning file imposes a fine that will be communicated to the entity.

The file opened shows that the Government of Catalonia has the legal mandate to ensure the right to non-discrimination to people based on gender identity or gender expression. Transsexuals and intersex people are a reality within Catalan society that the Government has to protect to avoid suffering discrimination by the fact of freely carrying out the development of their personality and living with the gender or genres with the identify themselves

In this sense, the Direcció general d'Igualtat of the Department considers that the dissemination of a public message, in the territorial scope of Catalonia, denies realities currently existing within Catalan society and that they are part of groups that require greater protection Due to the history of discrimination suffered, the Hazte Oír Association has carried out an action that may constitute an infringement provided for in Law 11/2014: "Carrying out acts that involve isolation, rejection or public, notorious and explicit contempt of people because of sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression ”.
