The PP is making efforts to stop assimilating this party with Vox, after the pacts signed after the municipal and regional elections, and has found in the Pride Festival an opportunity to distance itself from Santiago Abascal's party and express its respect and support by the LGTBI collective, and by the celebration of Pride that the PP summarizes in the celebration of "the dignity of the person and of freedom".
To do this, it has prepared a manifesto in which its position in this regard is unequivocally established, against the statements and attitudes of Vox. Today it did not hang the LGTBI flag from the façade of its headquarters, on Génova street, but instead, at 12 last night it illuminated its logo, the seagull on the façade of the headquarters, with the colors of the arch iris, which successively tinted the seagull.
In the manifesto, the Popular Party emphasizes that today, June 28, one of the events most closely linked "to the concept of equality and respect for diversity: International LGTBI Pride Day" is commemorated throughout the world. For the popular, Spanish society "has been joining their voices for years in favor of the right of each one to be and feel what they want; without labels, with pride, from commitment and claiming the unity of all."
It commemorates, underlines the manifesto "the courage of those men and women who stood up against the widespread abuses in Stonewall and in so many other places", in 1969 and said "enough" and "the fight, the principle of rights" was born of the LGTBI collective", and for this reason he believes that in a commemoration like the one on June 28 "we claim that we are an exemplary country in terms of equality, a respectful and diverse society, without limitations or exclusions".
The PP, however, emphasizes that, despite what has been achieved, ""Stonewall" is still lived in many countries of the world, where homosexuality continues to be penalized; where the people who make up the LGTBI collective continue to be persecuted and threatened" and expresses "all our solidarity and commitment to them, to their rights."
From the Popular Party, the manifesto underlines "we reiterate our commitment to the entire LGTBI collective, always. And we do it as a party that will never stop defending the freedom and dignity of the human being, the right of all to live as we wish", for That, he adds, "today we reaffirm our commitment to policies that deal with lgtbiphobia, that allow all people to live with full rights and love in full freedom."
The PP defends that "Spain is one of the most egalitarian and fair nations in the world, the third in respect to the LGTBI collective in all of Europe." This reality, he stresses, has been achieved thanks to free men and women, politicians of all ideologies and sensibilities; and in just over four decades of democracy.
Among all of us, he adds, "we must continue working on building a Spain that fights any type of discrimination in unison, uniting the whole of society around the supreme ideas of freedom and diversity; bluntly, promoting initiatives that protect people of the most vulnerable LGTBI collective, ensuring all their rights".
