The relationship between Pablo Iglesias and Irene Montero has been one of the most outstanding in the world of politics in recent years. The former politician and the acting Minister of Equality, both visible faces of Podemos at different stages of the party, have remained united and reinforced despite the setbacks that each one has received since the irruption of the purple formation. And although the man from Madrid has been away from the seats for a long time, he closely follows his partner.
This has been demonstrated by publishing a message on X. Iglesias has shared a screenshot of the Canal Red portal, the online communication medium in which the former general secretary of Podemos collaborates, sharing his analysis of current political events. It is a descriptive file on Montero on the platform's page, showing her resume and her career detailed and updated, accompanied by an additional writing: "How are they not going to hate her...".
“Irene Montero has a degree in psychology from the Autonomous University of Madrid, a career she studied with study aid for excellent achievement and which ended with a grade of 9.09. She began her doctoral research in educational inclusion, with a scholarship from the University Teacher Training Program (FPU) and obtained a Master's Degree in Educational Psychology from the Autonomous University of Madrid, where she received 9 honors and a 9.5 grade in the master's thesis", details the text.
“She dropped out of the University and gave up a research stay at Harvard to join the Podemos executive in November 2014. In 2015 she was elected deputy for Madrid, being elected again in the 2016 and 2019 elections. In February 2017 she was elected spokesperson for her parliamentary group (the youngest in the history of Spain). She was appointed Minister of Equality on January 12 in the first coalition government after the Second Republic in Spain ”, she continues.
"A communist militant since adolescence, during her university days she participated in the student movement and was one of the spokespersons for the Platform for People Affected by the Mortgage," concludes the description on the Canal Red page. A very direct way of Pablo Iglesias de respond to the criticism that Irene Montero has received from different spheres since her entry into the government as Minister of Equality, in addition to other previous complaints.
One of the last statements by the Acting Minister came after Luis Rubiales kissed Jennifer Hermoso without consent, during the awarding of medals to Spain for winning the women's soccer world cup: "Blaming women for the violence they suffer" he was looking for', 'he didn't move away') or what they decide to do afterwards (if he doesn't report 'it wasn't such a big deal', if he responds 'he lets her fall', 'his life is going to screw up') it's rape culture . Jenni Hermoso is not alone. She just yes is yes ”.
