The Government charges against Feijóo: "There are no hard divorces that justify gender violence"

In the Moncloa they denounce the “worrying inconsistency” of Alberto Núñez Feijóo in the economic field, or his “total lack of credibility” when he proposes that the list with the most votes should govern, while the Popular Party and the extreme right join forces to take over the baton of command in many town halls where the PSOE won: “Where they can agree with Vox”, they warn. But, above all, they also focus on the fact that the leader of the PP is assuming “the ideological framework” of Vox, with regard to equality policies and against sexist violence.

“There are neither pacts, nor agreements, nor hard divorces that justify whitewashing gender violence,” warned the government spokesperson, the socialist Isabel Rodríguez, to reply to Feijóo himself, which the day before he attributed precisely to the fact that “he had a divorce hard” the sentence for sexist violence that was imposed on the former Vox candidate in the Valencian Community, Carlos Flores.

“Gender violence is a serious problem in our society, which concerns us all,” warned the minister spokesperson.

Isabel Rodríguez has thus highlighted the importance of feminist policies, equality and the fight against gender violence. “It is necessary to continue deepening and advancing in equality policies when there are political leaders who deny or justify them,” she warned. “You cannot frivolize or whitewash gender violence,” she stressed.

The Executive spokesperson has warned that with the positions of those political leaders who deny or justify gender violence, “this country is going back 20 years.” And she has highlighted the Government’s concern in this regard, but she has also assured that it also “deserves social concern.” Since 2003, when they began to be counted, more than 1,200 women have been killed by sexist violence.

“There are many things at stake,” Isabel Rodríguez stressed, in response to the pacts that the PP and Vox are signing in autonomous communities and town halls, and that can be reissued as of July 23, according to the Socialists, so that the right choose to lead the Government of Spain.
