Spain’s Parliament voted down five bills Feb. 20 that would have legalized same-sex marriage, Agence France-Presse reported.

The report said all MPs from Prime Minister José María Aznar’s People’s Party were forced to vote against the measures.

People’s Party deputy Rosa Estaras said the bills—introduced by the Socialists, the United Left and three regional parties—were torpedoed because they were ‘unconstitutional.’
