"What is happening is very serious, but even more serious is that the PP assumes the ideological framework of Vox," they warn in Moncloa.
The denialism of sexist violence and the offensive against feminism and the equality policies championed by the extreme right of Vox have crossed the path of Alberto Núñez Feijóo. And the Government and the PSOE go out in a rush to try to embarrass the leader of the PP, whom they accuse of laundering gender violence to save their agreements in autonomous communities and town halls. And even a possible absolute majority of the right, after the general elections on July 23. "Wherever he can, Feijóo agrees with Vox", they insist in Moncloa.
"There are no pacts, agreements or hard divorces that justify laundering gender violence," warned the government spokesperson, Isabel Rodríguez, yesterday to reply to Feijóo himself, who the day before attributed precisely to the fact that "he had a hard divorce" the sentence for sexist violence that was imposed on the former Vox candidate in the Valencian Community, Carlos Flores, finally incorporated into the far-right lists for Congress.
The new president of the Parliament of the Balearic Islands after the agreement between the PP and Vox, the far-right Gabriel Le Senne, is also the author of some dialectical pearl: "Women are more belligerent, because they lack penises." "Feijóo will justify it by saying that he had a tough divorce, for me he is simply disgusting," Minister Pilar Alegría, spokesperson for the PSOE executive, replied yesterday.
"Gender violence is a serious problem in our society, which concerns us all," insisted the government spokeswoman. Isabel Rodríguez thus highlighted the importance of feminist policies, equality and the fight against gender violence, which the socialists see as a serious risk due to the irruption of the right in the institutions.
"It is necessary to continue deepening and advancing in equality policies when there are political leaders who deny or justify them," warned the minister spokesperson. "You cannot frivolize or whitewash gender violence," Isabel Rodríguez summoned Feijóo. And she warned that with the positions of those political leaders who deny or justify gender violence, "this country is going back 20 years", which worries the Government and also "deserves social concern". “There is a lot at stake,” she warned.
But Feijóo, in turn, tries to break the stigma that the Government wants to hang on him, and always affirms that he will fight against the scourge of sexist violence. And to demonstrate that the left accuses him of things that do not conform to reality, yesterday he surrounded himself with representatives of classical feminism, in a meeting organized by the PP foundation, Reformismo21.
The philosopher Amelia Valcárcel, the writer and film director Mabel Lozano or the professor at the Carlos III University, Montserrat Iglesias, participated in the meeting. Feijóo promised before all of them to legislate against trafficking in women, present a proposal on the trans law and address other of his concerns, such as the access of minors to pornography.
The meeting helped Feijóo to listen to Valcárcel, a great theoretician of the feminist movement, show his gratitude for the support he gave the PSOE to change the law of only yes is yes. “When the PSOE realized to what extent it was creating a monster, the PP agreed. You could have let him sink ”, he told Feijóo, arguing that the PP would fix it when he came to the Government.
"You have not done it and I thank you," he moved. The philosopher therefore gave her her confidence "that you are capable of making an effective feminist policy, because you have done it in this case." "That was necessary to do, and the PP has done it," said Valcárcel.
