«My trust in the two of them is total. Total, unequivocal commitment and resounding support. With these words Pedro Sánchez supported his second vice president, Yolanda Díaz, and the Minister of Health, Mónica García, after both admitted this Monday having minimized the first complaint in networks from almost a year and a half ago of a young woman who accused Íñigo Errejón of sexual assault, having accepted the explanations of the former spokesperson, who denied the facts.
The President of the Governmentwho is making a habit of appearing abroad on issues of national significance, assured from India that her confidence in the members of the other leg of the coalition Government is total and that her commitment to the feminist movement is just as firm as before the Errejón scandal hit the Executive. «I believe that Sumar and the political parties that form it have acted forcefully since they became aware of this matter and the seriousness of these accusations. I can describe Sumar’s response as forceful.
Sánchez disdained that Sumar’s internal matter could destabilize the coalition government and recalled that they are “going to continue governing.” until 2027 and then the left will show up again” and “win again, to continue governing.”
A strategy that already began to take shape in the press conference after the meeting of the council of ministers in whichand the Government spokesperson, Pilar Alegríamade clear the position of the socialist part of the Executive that wants to remove as soon as possible any consequences that the scandal surrounding Íñigo Errejón may have on its party, Sumar, and therefore on the Government coalition, at a time of special instability. parliamentary for Pedro Sánchez and in full negotiation of the general budgets of the State.
“In the last 48 hours we have seen how this person’s deputy record has been stripped, he has been stripped of all his political and organizational responsibilities and diligent, rapid and forceful action has been carried out by Sumar,” Alegría claimed despite the fact that Podemos or a former representative of Más Madrid have assured that they notified the formation of Yolanda Diaz of some of Errejón’s behaviors. The Executive spokesperson insisted on the Government’s “feminist commitment” and accepted the explanations given in recent days by ministers Yolanda Díaz and Mónica García.
That said, Alegría distanced any relationship between this case and the strength of the Government –“it doesn’t affect anything»– and marked the view on the remaining two and a half years of the legislature and on the approval of the next general budgets, which the Government is already preparing and trying to obtain the support of its investiture partners.
