The case of Sumar’s former spokesperson in Congress, Íñigo Errejón, and his resignation due to the accusations leveled against him landed this Tuesday in the plenary session of the Madrid City Council with great virulence. Both the spokesperson for the PSOE, Reyes Maroto, and that of Más Madrid, Rita Maestre, to whose party Errejón belongs, have charged against the mayor, accusing him of being “sexist” and of using that case only to attack feminism and as “a political hunt.” ”. In a tense atmosphere, the two spokespersons for the municipal opposition groups have asked the Madrid councilor to retract his words or “resign.”
Almeida was ironic last Saturday in his X account about the response that the left has given to the case. “In case you have lost count, here we leave you the list of demonstrations called by feminist movements after the Errejón scandal and how Más Madrid and Sumar hid it,” leaving blank spaces after the sentence. This Tuesday, Rita Maestre has disgraced the PP bench for continuing to laugh. “Their laughter and smiles are repulsive and disgusting when talking about sexual assaults, when talking about victims, when talking about such important issues. “Your laughter is shameful,” he snapped. “You come to attack me and feminism,” he added.
Maestre reminded him that “patriarchal attitudes are transversal” and that “aggressors and sexists are everywhere”, while bringing up the Nevenka case or the statements that the PP leaders made when the sexual assaults of tenor Plácido became known. Domingo, which they minimized saying that they could not “invalidate his entire career.” “The difference between a left-wing party and a right-wing party is not how many sexists there are in it, it is how many feminists fight to throw out the sexists as soon as they know about the first aggression, the first attitude. That is exactly the difference between us and you,” said Maestre.
Maroto, in turn, has asked Almeida to “resign.” “Stop embarrassing us because your hypocrisy has no limits,” he said, while calling his use of the Errejón case “political hunting.” “Fortunately, society has changed although you remain stuck in the past,” he told the mayor. “From the PSOE we are not going to participate in this political hunt and we are going to continue approving laws that protect women from the abuse of sexists,” added the socialist.
The artillery of “corruption”
The mayor, far from retracting, has reiterated his attacks and has confronted the two spokespersons for the left. “Madame Maestre, what is truly repugnant is your silence about Íñigo Errejón all these years. It’s disgusting because they knew it and covered it up. They did not act like this to protect the victims, but to protect you, Yolanda Díaz and Mónica García. They have only condemned Errejón when he knew that he was ahead of them, that is what is repugnant. If this had affected a PP deputy, the feminist movement would have flooded the streets four days ago,” he insisted.
He told Maroto that “he never gets tired of making a fool of himself” and has maintained that the PSOE “has also covered up for him and has excused his actions.” “There is a predator, as has been said from Más Madrid and its brand, who has been covered up for a year, and in order not to break a coalition government, you keep silent.” Almeida has brought out the artillery of “corruption” that “invades the Sánchez Government”, stating that in his opinion who has to resign is “the one who allowed Koldo, Aldama and a businessman to meet in his meeting room in the Ministry of Industry”, which she directed before arriving at the Madrid City Council.
