First the silence and then the distribution of blame. Five days of circumspection in Colombia and, having landed in Madrid, Yolanda Díaz finally appeared before the media to talk about the Errejón scandal due to complaints of sexual harassment and sexist violence. It was not just any joke, but a torpedo in the waterline of the left in general and, very particularly, of the space led by the second vice president of the Government. She was the one who made the electoral lists. And she was the one who, unilaterally, appointed him parliamentary spokesperson.
In all crisis management, time management is considered essential. The period between when the scandal arises, the problem is recognized and decisions are made is essential for good political communication. And Yolanda Díaz says she is satisfied because she acted with “promptness,” “transparency” and “forcefulness” to expel Errejón from public life as soon as she was informed of the events that became known last week, after the anonymous complaint spread by the journalist. Cristina Fallarás on her Instagram account about a sexual assault to which she did not give a name or surname, but which unleashed a cascade of comments on X that targeted her deputy.
