The Government has come out against the PP for publishing on the social network , on the occasion of March 8, International Women’s Day.
“It is an intolerable shame,” the Minister of Equality, Ana Redondo, said indignantly at the press conference following the extraordinary meeting of the Council of Ministers that was held precisely on the occasion of March 8. “It embarrasses us as a country and is an insult to the women of this country,” continued the head of Equality, who has accused the PP of going against progress in women’s rights. Whenever there has been progress in this matter, said Redondo, who has given the voluntary interruption of pregnancy as an example, “the PP has presented resources to reverse these advances.” And she has pointed out that now “the PP has found its match in Vox.” That is why she wanted to demand the need to celebrate International Women’s Day, since, in her opinion, there are many forces working to roll back women’s rights.
“Everything has been said,” said the Minister of Education and Vocational Training and spokesperson for the Executive, Pilar Alegría, who after seeing the video already criticized it on the social network X.
“The indignity of a party that with one hand makes a pact with the ultras who want to set us women back a century and with the other they feed polarization and division,” he noted.
In the video, the PP superimposes on the face of Pedro Sánchez the figure of more than 1,200 sentence reductions and 120 releases for sexual offenders, while the President of the Government highlights the norm to reinforce the safety of women. “This 8M the Sánchez Government has nothing to be proud of,” warn the popular ones.
In addition, the PP also labels a speech by the president in the Congress of Deputies where he exclaimed “long live March 8.” “And he says it while he benefits sexual offenders,” conclude those of Alberto Núñez Feijóo. “Reminder: this 8M, do not forget the victims of the ‘only yes means yes’ law,” writes the PP in the message on X.
The first vice president and Minister of Finance, María Jesús Montero, has accused the PP video “of hatred and ignorance.” “When we believe that we cannot fall any lower, the PP arrives with that mixture of hatred and ignorance. But citizens know that this is the Government of equality and that the great advances in rights bear the signature of the PSOE,” he wrote in social networks.
In this sense, the Minister of Equality, Ana Redondo, has pointed out that the PP “whitewashes the denial of gender violence, governs with those who announce a boycott of the feminist demands of the 8M and shares regional and municipal governments with a far-right party. that seeks to curtail” women’s rights.
The Minister of Inclusion, Social Security and Migration, Elma Saiz, has reminded the Núñez Feijóo party of its pacts with Vox in 140 municipalities and autonomous communities “with a party that denies sexist violence and that whitewashes the aggressors.” “Another 8M seeing everything,” she lamented in X.
For her part, the Minister of Housing and Urban Agenda, Isabel Rodríguez, has insisted on pointing out this 8M “that the PP is the party that makes an agreement with the deniers of sexist violence, that denies institutional declarations in regional parliaments and city councils.” “But, above all, don’t forget that they were never with us,” she stressed.
“Tomorrow is 8M and the PP is hiding behind a miserable video. The party that has always tried to stop all advances in women’s rights,” criticized the Minister of Science, Innovation and Universities, Diana Morant. “But the ones who stopped a Feijóo and Abascal government on June 23 were us and tomorrow we will be heard again in the streets and squares,” she added.
From the PSOE account in X they have assured that the PP campaign for 8M “shows the current state of that party.” “Disoriented, without leadership, full of hatred and lacking any idea other than tension,” they stressed, while recalling the result of the July 23 elections. “Spain has decided. Assume it once and for all and work for the country with loyalty to its people and not to your frustration. It is time,” they concluded.
