In particular, point 1 of the amendment which amends Article 7 states verbatim that "members of the Armed Forces may join political parties without their participation in them is active, and may not form or join trade unions or union activities. "

However, paragraph two of this same amendment provides that "in fulfilling their duties, members of the armed forces must act with absolute political neutrality and union with the principles of impartiality and not discrimination based on sex, racial or ethnic origin, religion or belief, disability, age, sexual orientation, language, opinion, place of birth or neighborhood or any other condition or personal or social circumstance. "

Llamazares said the intention of the United Left as amended focuses on "substantially improve and update the share of fundamental rights and freedoms" of the text submitted by the executive, branded as content "manifestly inadequate and improved."

parliamentary For IU, the bill comes to government "does not reflect or directly contradict some constitutional rights of members of the Armed Forces. Highlighted gaps between them in terms of freedom of expression, freedom of religion and conscience.

Thus, we propose a new wording of Article 3 in the direction of recognizing that "members of the Armed Forces are entitled to fundamental rights and freedoms enshrined in the Constitution, no other limit in its exercise than those in the latter, in implementing provisions and in this organic law. "

Llamazares also noted the proposed amendment in Article 6 to add a new paragraph 3 with this wording: "In the context of the armed forces will respect and protect the right to freedom of religion and conscience to be exercised in accordance with the Organic Law 7 / 1980 of 5 July, subject to religious services should ensure the Government in accordance with the provisions of the eighth additional provision of Law 39/2007 of 19 November, military career. No soldier shall be compelled to attend or participate in any religious act, which can not be regarded of official duty. "

IU-ICV also aim to improve the two bodies that create the future law, the Council of Armed Forces personnel and the Observatory of military life. To Llamazares, the proposed Council is "very weak" because it has no mandatory reports on standards affecting the military, while the Centre should go further and to "investigate and make recommendations on" the rights of the military.
