He popular party will request the appearance in the Congress of Deputies of the second vice president and president of the Sumar parliamentary group, Yolanda Díaz, and the Minister of Health and leader of Más Madrid, Mónica García, for the scandal of Íñigo Errejón, accused of alleged sexual assaults on women. The popular ones will demand explanations as to why both leaders “let go” of the “intolerable behavior” of the former deputy and spokesperson for their parliamentary group during the last ten months.
An initiative announced by the spokesperson of the PP in the Lower House, Miguel Telladowhich has also denounced that the Board of Spokespersons has overturned in its meeting this Tuesday its proposal to change one of the questions of this week’s control session to include another question about the Errejón case on the agenda. Tellado has also emphasized that his request has been denied due to the vote against EH Bilduwhom he has described as a “necessary accomplice” of the Government.
Once the versions of Díaz, García and their respective groups were heard this Monday about the accusations that have been circulating on social networks about the also founder of Podemos for almost a year and a half, the popular people demand to know “why they found it tolerable in a behavior of an organizational partner that they would find intolerable in a member of another party,” explained Tellado in a brief press conference held in Congress at the end of the meeting of the Board of Spokespersons.
In this sense, the PP spokesperson in Congress has insisted that both Sumar and More Madrid They now have “the same information” as when they “made him a deputy and spokesperson for the” parliamentary group. Tellado refers to the fact that already in June 2023, in the middle of the pre-campaign for the general elections of 23-J, the date on which the episode of the Castellón festival occurred in which a woman reported in a Twitter thread an anonymous testimony that Errejón He played during one of the concerts.
The vice president admitted on Monday afternoon, for the first time, that she was aware of the first accusation of summer 2023 against Errejón, although she pointed out her Cabinet colleague, the Minister of Health. According to Díaz, his team informed him in the middle of the 23-J pre-campaign of the existence of that Twitter thread. He also acknowledged that Más Madrid and the current general secretary of Podemos, Ione Belarra, informed him about it. But he did not give it much importance, he said, because the testimony was deleted from networks and because Más Madrid concluded its internal investigation.
«Díaz does not hesitate when it comes to covering up serious cases in his environment so as not to harm his political career. And now it can allow the PSOE to remain silent in the face of what it would never have remained silent about.”

The Madrid party, for its part, acknowledged that it believed Errejón instead of a potential victim, since, after asking for explanations, both he and the former deputy of the Madrid Assembly and alleged cover-up of the facts, Loreto Arenillasboth minimized the aggression.
There are no longer elections and “that is what has changed,” said Sumar’s PP, in addition to accusing him of having the “urge to swallow everything in order to hold on to his government positions just like Pedro Sanchez». Díaz, who also showed her chest in her appearance on Monday that she had been the one who “personally” got Errejón to resign after speaking with him, assured that if she had known that he was a “potential sexual aggressor,” she would never have been on Sumar’s lists. as number 4 nor would I have been a spokesperson.
«What is the consequence? —Feijoo continued— The reality is that they knew everything, they covered it up. Yolanda Díaz does not hesitate when it comes to covering up serious cases in her environment so as not to harm her political career. And now it can allow the PSOE to remain silent in the face of what it would never have remained silent if it had happened in any other party: the negligence in detecting and prosecuting sexist behavior. And it can be because she has paid them in exchange for her silence regarding the corruption plot that has reached the hard core of Sanchismo.
