The Government sees "evident" that the Feijóo project is "destructive"

Repealing sanchismo is the motto with which the PP prevailed in the last regional and municipal elections on May 28 and with which its president, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, intends to reach La Moncloa in the general elections on July 23. This same Tuesday, the popular candidate has specified, in this sense, that if he can govern he will repeal the trans law or the law of memory and will abolish the ministries of Equality or Consumption. Given these announcements, the Executive sees "evident" that Feijóo's project is "repeal" and "destructive" and has warned him that whoever does not defend equality between men and women "will answer to the public."

"It is already quite evident that Mr. Feijóo's political project is to repeal and it is destructive, it is for our country to go backwards," warned the Minister of the Presidency, Relations with the Courts and Democratic Memory, Félix Bolaños, at the subsequent press conference to the Council of Ministers. The minister has gone further and has considered it pertinent to ask himself "in great detail" what are "the setbacks with which Mr. Feijóo wants to punish Spanish citizens."

Asked specifically about the laws that would be repealed, Bolaños has influenced the Democratic Memory norm promoted by his ministry and has asked himself "what can bother a democrat about the memory law?" At this point, the minister has rhetorically questioned "what can bother a democrat that a coup and a dictatorship be declared illegal? what can a democrat be annoyed that families can recover the remains of their loved ones? that it is not politics, it is humanity and what can bother a democrat that the victims of all sides of that war are honored?

For this reason, the head of Democratic Memory has indicated "pertinent" to ask himself "what is the level of setback and repeal of advances that we have carried out this legislature that Feijó would seek in the event of being elected?"

Along the same lines, the Minister for Territorial Policy and Government spokesperson, Isabel Rodríguez, has responded to Feijóo's intentions to eliminate the Ministry of Equality and has warned him that "those who do not defend that cause - equality between men and women - , will answer for it before the citizenship ".

"Spain is a country that has advanced like no other in terms of equality and advances for women and I have to confess that I feel very proud to belong to those political forces that, accompanied by social movements, and especially feminist movements , have been the protagonists of these changes and advances", the minister added to the media.

Likewise, regarding the controversy over the debates during the electoral campaign, the minister has defended that "it is always good to debate in a democracy" and that there is a "social interest" in these campaign events, at the same time that she wanted to make it clear that the president The Government has limited itself to accepting the proposals in this regard that have been made by the media.
