The spokesperson for Más Madrid in the City Council and co-spokesperson for the political formation, Rita Maestrehas confessed “deceived” by a “misogynist” like Íñigo Errejónthat He seemed like a good boyfriend.and has called to eradicate sexist behavior, “whoever falls.”

In a statement posted on his X account, Maestre conveys his “respect and support” to all women and she opens up to speak in public about her personal life given that a part of it has been exposed for days. “As everyone knows, Íñigo Errejón and I were a couple for several years and, although we had been estranged for a long time, everything that has come to light this week overwhelms and especially shocks me,” he says.

Now Maestre says he is discovering “some of the episodes of misogynistic behavior and violence reported by the victims, which happened when the aggressor was a couple. “He was a normal-looking person, a ‘good boyfriend’, but he was at the same time a misogynist who returned home normally.” after attacking a 20-year-old woman in a hotel,” Maestre wrote.

Feminism has taught, Rita Maestre continues in her writing, that the aggressors, “who are usually presented as exceptional monstrous beings, are a father, a brother, a co-worker or your ex-partner.” “But it is overwhelming because now it is not a theory or a motto, it is my life,” he stated.

“A manipulator”

He also wanted to respond “to those who today happily speculate about the degree of knowledge of his actions or complicity in the spaces of personal or political coexistence of which he was a part.”

“Evidently it is impossible for each of the people who have shared parts of our life with him, in whatever area, not to think about how we could not see that we were facing someone with those multiple faceshow could we blind ourselves to that level of manipulation. Because that is what it is who sustains a network of attacks and humiliations of this magnitude in his daily life: a manipulator“, he analyzed.

Now “it can be very easy and tempting to put the different information that has emerged under a focus of obviousness that, simply, is not such.”

“I have no evidence of any cover-up”

“I have neither been a part nor am I aware of any cover-up of any aggression or violent action because there has not been one. Rather, I feel deeply deceived, and that deception is devastating,” she stated in her personal statement.

Maestre is clear that now “the important thing is the pain of the victims, who have to feel respected and accompanied. The important thing is to eradicate sexist behavior and aggression from politics and society. Whatever the cost and whoever falls falls. Whoever falls is whoever falls.” be the aggressor, and whoever the victim is. The important thing is to end every space of impunity, with every small detail that minimizes comments, attitudes and attacks that should have no place.”

“Women are tired of euphemisms, of evasion, of the focus being on usthat the public conversation revolves around the exception of the rugged and not the normality that sustains so much daily violence. We are tired of feeling judged when we have been part of the aggressor’s personal environment. We are tired of not being believed and being questioned when we are attacked. Of not knowing where to turn when something happens to us like any of the things that are occupying covers and headlines, in all their scale of severity,” Maestre listed.

Rita Maestre wanted to especially thank “to all the networks of women, who provide the tools, but above all the support, listening and care”. “To bring together the strength and dignity that they try to take from us,” he highlighted.

“I also encourage any woman who has suffered a situation of aggression or harassment to use feminist support networks to move forwardand I sincerely reflect: there may be no more important feminist political task than making oneself available for it. Nothing will be able to muzzle this wave of dignity. It is another of the lessons of the strength of feminism. I, of course, am going to do my best to ensure that this is the case. Much encouragement, colleagues, and a huge hug. Without all of us there are no us,” concludes the leader of Más Madrid.
