The feminist divorce between PSOE and Unidas Podemos, members of the coalition government, has become evident not only in the vote that has finally approved processing the reform of the law of only yes is yes, but also in the subsequent statements of some of its politicians. This has been the case of the state co-spokesperson for Podemos, Pablo Fernández, and the PSOE spokesperson in Congress, Patxi López, among others.
In the case of Pablo Fernández, he has branded as "infamy" that the PSOE has carried out with the PP the consideration of his reform of the law of only yes is yes in the Lower House, a few hours after the celebration of 8M .
"The infamy is consummated. The PSOE votes hand in hand with the PP to return to the Penal Code of La Manada, which has been helped by the abstention of Vox," he launched on Twitter after the debate in the plenary session of Congress, in a critical tone with your coalition partner.
In turn, the leader of Podemos and Minister of Social Rights, Ione Belarra, has also reported that women conquered on the street that "consent was at the center of the Penal Code", something that they have once again defended in Congress " against a PSOE and a PP that are joining forces to go back". "We will continue working to take care of feminist advances," she has deepened.
On the other hand, the spokesman for United We Can in Congress, Pablo Echenique, has criticized that what happened today in Congress is the "vote of shame." "The PSOE votes with the PP to return to the Penal Code of the Pack and those of the fetal heartbeat helped them with an abstention," he also reproached on social networks.
On behalf of the PSOE, Patxi López has accused Podemos of "blatantly lying" during the consideration of the socialist reform of the law of only yes is yes and has encouraged the party led by Ione Belarra to make its proposals public because the Ministry of Equality still "has not put a solution".
In an interview on Cadena Ser, López has said that he does not understand interventions such as that of Podemos deputy Lucía Muñoz Dalda that, in his opinion, "depart from reality" and has called for "common sense". "We elaborated a good law to comprehensively protect women victims of aggression that have had a problem in the criminal aspect," recalled the spokesman, while insisting that "sentences have been reduced" for what " if there is a problem" you have to look for "solution".
Patxi López has encouraged his partners in the coalition government to "publish" their proposals to reform the law of only yes is yes. "They did not want to modify the law, and we have seen it today, because it was only taking into consideration the only proposal to try that problem," he explained.
"If you do not recognize the problem, it is that you are out of reality. And if you do not make a proposal to fix the problem, that borders on irresponsibility. And we (the PSOE) have wanted to fix the problem," he indicated.
In this context, the socialist leader has accused Podemos of "blatantly lying" about the socialist reform of the law because the PSOE "has not agreed with PP and Vox" and does not return to the Penal Code of 'La Manada' "not even remotely ". "We have not touched a comma of consent", López has affected, who has later assured that if Podemos lies he is "being irresponsible, not to mention unpresentable."
Thus, the spokesman for Congress has asked the second vice president, Yolanda Díaz, to adopt "a more proactive position" and not just say that an agreement must be reached. "Do something, put a position or a proposal on the table to see how to bring positions closer", she has claimed.
