Francesc-Marc Álvaro and Javier Melero chat with the deputy and spokesperson for the CUP in Congress, the sociologist Mireia Vehí from Empordà. Present in Madrid since 2019 with two deputies, the Catalan independence party located furthest to the left has fully entered into the debates that have strained relations between PSOE and Podemos, especially the feminist impulse laws. In relation to the “only yes is yes” law, Vehí states that “penal law does not solve everything” and adds that “punishment as the only way to manage conflicts is not transformative”.
A native of Vilafant, he claims “another Empordà”, far from the tourist clichés and confesses to having suckled his political vocation at home, under the influence of his mother -mayor of the town- and his father. He feels comfortable in the Madrid that C. Tangana sings and in the Menorca of popular festivals. Between quotes from the poet Gil de Biedma, the philosopher Foucault and the anarchist leader Durruti, Mireia Vehí analyzes -with reasons and passions- the theater of a power that interests her as much as it worries her.
