Controversy during the four-way debate that took place on Canal Sur on Tuesday night when Sumar’s candidate for Seville, Francisco Sierra, decided to ignore and turn his face against his Vox opponent, Rocío de Meer.
Every time the head of the Vox list for Almería intervened, the candidate for Sumar not only did not respond, but also chose to turn his head and look the other way, something that has been considered disrespectful in the only debate in in which representatives of the four most voted political forces in Andalusia have participated on public television.
The controversy broke out when the Vox candidate criticized Sumar’s candidate for the fact that the Ministry of Equality has squandered public money to carry out studies on masturbation and the non-binary gender, to which Sierra responded by ignoring her opponent and looking away without mediating. word.
Faced with this lack of respect, De Meer “Mr. Sierra, you have been through the entire debate without looking at me. Are you not from the women’s party, the feminist party? Why don’t you look me in the face,” he asked, but he continued turning his back and not deigning to say a word to his adversary. “I see that you are going to continue in that same plan. That is the respect that Sumar has for the Spanish, for women very particularly. Zero respect,” concluded the head of the Vox list for Almería.
After the debate and the controversy that arose, when asked about this attitude in the debate towards his opponent from Abascal’s party, Sierra defended in an interview on Canal Sur that “it is a gesture of protest and discomfort” since Vox “continuously Vox Not only is there a lack of respect for feminist perspectives, women and the LGTBI movement, it is that when there is a public act when a woman has died, they tend to displace the rest of the political formations ”, argues the Sumar candidate.
This fact has eclipsed the only debate involving four of the candidates for Congress from the most voted formations in Andalusia, in which, in addition to Sumar and Vox, Juan Bravo for the PP and Luis Planas for the PSOE participated.
