Feijóo asks Sánchez to send a message of forgiveness to women by reforming the law of yes is yes

The PP will vote on Tuesday in favor of taking into consideration the PSOE bill that reform of the yes law is yes, although the Socialists or the Government have not bothered to call the PP to ask for their vote, although the popular ones have a proposal with the same wording since last December that the PSOE has not deigned to take into account, and although the Socialist Group has said that it does not want the vote of the PP deputies, despite the fact that it now needs them.

Feijóo asks Sánchez to send a message of forgiveness to women by reforming the law of yes is yes

The PP will vote on Tuesday in favor of taking into consideration the PSOE bill that reform of the yes law is yes, although the Socialists or the Government have not bothered to call the PP to ask for their vote, although the popular ones have a proposal with the same wording since last December that the PSOE has not deigned to take into account, and although the Socialist Group has said that it does not want the vote of the PP deputies, despite the fact that it now needs them.

The PP will vote in favour, because the PP, said the president of this party, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, in Cáceres, "not to do the President of the Government a favor" and save him "from the mess that he has set up in his Government", but rather her affirmative vote responds to her desire to "be consistent with women and protect them from this government."

Feijóo, who this afternoon will participate in the city of Extremadura in a round table on women, within the acts of May 8, asked Pedro Sánchez to resist the pressures of the part of the Government that represents United We Can and on Tuesday modify the law, launching for 8-M, a "consensus message from the Government and an apology message to women" who have been left unprotected by this law which, he recalled, has already resulted in the reduction of sentences for more than 700 sex offenders and the release of 70.

Of course, he asks Pedro Sánchez "a little less arrogance and a little more commitment to women, because he is the president who has signed the law, and that is why it is his duty to" immediately repeal the part of the law that refers to penalties," Feijóo said, because it is "a law that has wreaked havoc in defense of women's dignity."

"I hope and wish that this 8-M we can celebrate with the amendment and partial repeal of the yes is yes law and that the president, for the dignity of women, repeals his law and pays attention to the proposal that the PP already presented in December, and on 8-M we have good news for women", by suppressing "this legal botch that they are suffering".

As long as the yes is yes law is not reformed and the penalties that existed before for sexual offenders are recovered, said Núñez Feijóo, the Government will not be able to say that it defends women, because "feminism must be truly demonstrated". The PP will do so "being consistent with the reform proposed in December," stressed the popular leader, "because we don't like banner feminism or feminism as a throwing weapon."

Feijóo insists and will be the message with the crush from today to tomorrow, when the reform is debated in Congress, to Pedro Sánchez, "You cannot reach 8-M without having repealed the punitive part of the law and having agreed on the reform of this legal bungling, and maintaining the "gross we are seeing in the Government, which is insulted by using women as the last tool for division".

Regarding the Parity Law announced on Saturday by the President of the Government as a new milestone in the fight for equality, the President of the PP recalled that it is the transposition of a European Union directive, which is mandatory to reflect in the legislation of each state, and that it is a directive, he added, that was promoted by the European People's Party, which is why it once again demonstrates that "between reality and what the Sánchez government says there is a difference, because what the government does Government is to fulfill its obligation".

For Feijóo, the "level of political despair" of the Government, after having "legislated against women" with the law of yes is yes, leads Sánchez "to give as a great novelty the transposition of a directive" that it is mandatory to transpose. That's it, the president of the PP took the opportunity to remind Sánchez that his law could be applied, since his La Moncloa team does not meet those parameters, "of nine senior positions, eight are men and one is a woman", it is the "most sexist".

Regarding the sentence known this Monday that condemns the former president of Murcia, of the PP, Pedro Antonio Sánchez, to three years in prison for the direct award of a contract, Núñez Feijóo showed his "respect" for a sentence that is not final, and that the person involved can still appeal, although he admitted that it is "a sentence of the Provincial Court and has enormous value."
