**Espot labels abortion practice a “red line” that could threaten the co‑prince’s position**
*Andorra – The government’s spokesperson, Espot, has warned that allowing abortions within the Principality’s borders could be a “red line” that might lead to the abdication of the co‑prince. The statement was made in the context of ongoing discussions about the EU agreement and the country’s abortion policy.*
**Key points**
– **Red line warning** – Espot described the practice of abortion in Andorra as a “red line” that the government must not cross if it wishes to avoid jeopardising the model of the co‑principality.
– **EU agreement** – The government said that the latest EU negotiations are “technical issues” and that a signing date has not yet been set.
– **Border‑based policy** – The government’s position is that abortions should be performed within the country’s borders and that the policy should not be extended beyond them.
– **Bilateral talks** – The executive is continuing to address the issue on a bilateral basis with the State Secretariat.
The remarks were reported by *El Periòdic d’Andorra* and are part of the broader debate over abortion legislation in the Principality.
