Rita Maestrespokesperson for Más Madrid in the capital’s City Council, was interviewed this past Sunday on the program Savedfrom La Sextain which he attacked Íñigo Errejón, whom he described as “predator”, “pathological manipulator” and “misogynist”.
“I wish I had been out of Spanish politics before, because no contribution to politics is worth all the damage parallel that has created,” insisted Maestre, Errejón’s ex-partner and party partner. Maestre also wondered how she was going to cover up Errejón in the political field when he did not even know his way of acting after eight years as a couple. “How was I going to cover up as politics what I didn’t know as a couple?” he asked himself. at one point in the interview, recorded on October 30 and broadcast two days before Íñigo Errejón has to appear in court.
“I’m sure that None of us knew that he was a misogynist, that he was a predator and that he was a pathological manipulator, like what we have known,” Maestre remarked, after attacking the “frivolization” with that “mixture of sensationalism and opportunism.”
Maestre confessed that his current state is disappointment, anger and a certain feeling of guilt for not having realized before this unknown side of the person with whom he shared a relationship and responsibility in various political formations.
Maestre also explained that he felt the need to explain yourself through a public letter in order to understand how it was possible that he had spent time in his life with a person “of whom I didn’t know another face and also to explain it to the world and to the outside world.
He assured that he published the letter because he saw “with concern how he was happily frivolizing” with expressions that hurt him, such as that everyone knew it and covered it up. “This seems to be becoming more widespread on social media, in social gatherings, and I began to feel like I couldn’t not respond and I couldn’t tolerate it either,” he said.
Rita Maestre highlighted everything that feminism has brought to the countrywhich has changed things in the political sphere by allowing “since an anonymous publication accuses a leading politician of behavior”, of which he does not know “if they are criminal”. These behaviors “speak of abusive relationships and psychological abuse, incompatible with being a good person.”
In the interview, Maestre also said that he had a conversation with one of the complainants, Elisa Mouliaáwith whom she contacted when she felt “challenged” when the actress made reference to the public letter that Maestre wrote to condemn her ex-partner’s “episodes of violence.”
Maestre emphasized that although she does not feel like a victim, she feels close to the women who suffered harassment from Errejón. He also stated that he does not even know if Errejón’s behavior is criminal, but what he has doubts about is that this behavior “They talk about abusive relationships that made women feel humiliated or harassed.”
“This is forcing me toecho the story in a different way in my past. The relationship ends very normally, even with affection, and that piece is no longer there,” acknowledged Maestre, who insisted that he could know nothing about those “two faces of a bad person”.
Maestre also accused of “yellowism” and “wanting to be the girl at the baptism” those who accuse her training and herself of having been aware of Errejón’s attitude.
“A mistake” by Más Madrid
About the reasons why the first complaint on networks about touching an attendee at a feminist festival in Castellón in 2023 did not lead to a thorough investigation on the part of the party, has assured that “in view of the events it was a mistake“.
But the fact that the “scale” of the events – in a public and open place – was different from those described a year later, Errejón’s own testimony saying that it had been “a flirt” and the decision of the young woman involved to close the matter led them to make a decision that has separated the pre-campaign from the 2023 general elections.
“He did not acknowledge a specific fact, he said ‘yes, I have had sexist attitudes like those described in that thread,'” Maestre said.
Mestre says that right now He is not able to empathize with Errejón and does not care how he feels personally.and acknowledged that he stayed “in shock” when he assumed without struggle or hesitation that the messages that Cristina Fallarás was reproducing on her Instagram account were true.
“He did not acknowledge a specific fact, he said ‘yes, I have had sexist attitudes like those described in that thread,'” said Maestre, who spoke personally with him. “The call was almost a confirmation of what we were going to find“, specific.
Maestre has reflected that if the leadership in Podemos had to be chosen right now when it emerged a decade ago, “I highly doubt that we would choose to lead only men who were also very masculine,” in reference to Pablo Iglesias, Juan Carlos Monedero and himself. Errejón.
