Estamos asistiendo, indudablemente, ante un periodo de mudanzas procesales, fruto de la exigencia propulsada desde la expansión del Derecho Penal. Las modificaciones legislativas se han sucedido y, con ellas, se ha producido una reformulación funcional de los protagonistas. Y en esta mudanza cuyo destino no se ve todavía nítido, emerge el consentimiento tanto de los sujetos del proceso como de las víctimas, canalizado a través del reforzamiento del principio de oportunidad. Probation, diversión, conformidad, mediación penal, son instituciones que incorporan el consentimiento con efectos procesales. Hablar de consentimiento en el proceso penal ya no es un oxímoron
We are involved in a moment of deep changes in Criminal Procedure due, among other reasons, to the permanent expansion of Criminal Law. Legislative modifications have taken place one another over the world and they have led to a functional reformulation of the role played by the protagonists of Criminal Procedure.
These changes have not finished yet and the future is still to come, but new elements are already emerging: the consent of the actors of the process and of the victims and the reinforcement of the principle of opportunity are undoubtedly some of them. Probation, diversion, compliance, criminal mediation are institutions that stand on the principle of consent for procedural purposes and show this new scenario that is emerging. Speaking about consent in criminal proceedings seems to be no longer an oxymoron
