Errejón’s resignation has nothing to do with politics dragging him into any type of life, nor because of excess media exposure, nor because of liberalism, nor because of other nonsense used. That is the way in which he tries to hide the reality of a host of victims on whom he allegedly abused and who have forced Sumar to make a move to avoid a lethal blow. Too quiet for too long

What is known about the accusations against Errejón: chronology of a resignation
It is the fault of Madrid DF, of the confusion between the person and the character, of the frenetic pace, of the media exposure, of the way of life to which politics and even liberalism supposedly drags… There is no more delirious, bizarre resignation letter and disgusting than the one that Íñigo Errejón wrote this Thursday to announce that he is leaving the seat and politics. He knows well the reason for this resignation, but prefers euphemism to cover up the reality. And his victims know it much better, some of them rendered mute by the terror he instilled in them. In essence, furthermore, his writing is a self-incriminating document with which he tries to justify himself with the argument that it is politics that “generates a toxic subjectivity that in the case of men, patriarchy multiplies, with male and female co-workers.” , with colleagues in the organization, with emotional relationships and even with oneself.”
It was the journalist Cristina Fallarás, who a day earlier wrote the anonymous complaint of a woman who narrated the episodes of sexist violence at the hands of “a politician who lives in Madrid” and referred to the unmentionable as “the social indignant” who ” he never shows his head on the days of 8M” and that “he is a psychological abuser, a true psychopath and a monster.” Quickly, on social networks several users directly or indirectly pointed out Errejón.
It was raining in the wet because months ago a young woman reported on social media the alleged harassment that the deputy exerted on her and how, after reporting it to someone responsible for her training, she was sent to pasture. They were silent. They covered. And they became accomplices. Just like the leaders of other parties, whose colleagues made them participate in similar behaviors with them. “Today is not the day.” “You may have gotten confused.” “Maybe you shouldn’t”…
As many responses intended to dissuade them from reporting as alleged cases reached the ears of those who today tear their clothes or announce an investigation to find out what happened. They could have done it much earlier and not now, when it seems that they are pushing it out of fear that the case will grow and deal a lethal blow to Sumar at his worst political and electoral moment.
On Wednesday, Fallarás put its finger on a deliberately silenced ulcer. For those who supposedly knew, for those who supposedly had seen, for those who apparently had heard and even for those who said they had suffered the reality of a character as disturbing politically as personally. But no one dared to name it. It is easy to blame those who do not report. There are always reasons not to do it and, sometimes, very deep ones. What does not fit is cynicism, nor sudden whitewashing, nor panegyrics about the intellectual background of the character, nor hot towels.
And in June 2023, another X user reported having suffered an episode of harassment by the politician, whom she expressly cited. The thread was deleted, but it talked about “physical assault” during a feminist event. It was commented on in many groups of the Congress of Deputies for days as well as the fodder for all kinds of analysis in various offices, but nothing was said and nothing was done, even though it was not the first time that similar events came to light. Apparently, in the political media universe, the behavior of the person who founded Más País and was previously part of the leadership of Podemos was an outcry, but only now are they coming to light and, as always, there are those who give him the benefit of the doubt because There was no complaint in court, because the alleged victims prefer anonymity or because the sexist stink of this country, when in doubt, still manages to side with the alleged harasser.
And this time why will it be? Is it because it affects another broken white hope of the alt-left? Errejón’s resignation letter is regrettable, that he has resigned or been resigned, everyone knows that with his controversial personality and high self-esteem he would never have taken a step back if the complaints, even if anonymous, were unfounded. And unfortunate are those who follow him in the euphemistic exercise to sweeten reality and favor the most diverse interests.
