On October 24, actress Elisa Mouliaá reported to the Family and Women Care Unit (UFAM) of the Police Íñigo Errejón for sexual harassment. As it was echoed The Country, The presenter suffered “three alleged crimes of sexual assault” in September 2021. After the news became known, Errejón left politics.
However, the harassment cases did not end with Mouliaá and on October 29, Aida Nizar He also filed a new complaint. Although not only them, but, through social networks, The journalist Cristina Fallarás also collected several testimonies anonymous.
Now it has been Ayme Román, the director of the podcast Neverthelesswho has shared through YouTube that Errejón is not the only politician who would have harassed women. In a video, whose profits will be donated to the RAINN association who helps victims of violence and sexual harassment, the philosopher has assured that “another left-wing leader” would have harassed her. Without wanting to give her name, the activist has explained her experience and has undermined the role of “feminist allies” who try to demonstrate “how much they know” by exhibiting their “theoretical knowledge”, but then do not act as such.
“He was calling me at three in the morning, insisting on meeting me, and later hugging me, fucking me, rubbing me and touching me, telling me that magic had arisen between us,” she said. In fact, it was an outsider who finally helped her get away from him.
As in the case of Errejón, Ayme has highlighted that the circles of the anonymous aggressor were aware of the practices, but no one warned him or warned him of possible problems. And, as he explained, in “elitist” environments the aggressors are protected and their crimes are hidden with demands that “you will never be able to assume.”
“You can’t afford good lawyers and you can only get away with it if you force victims when they are unwilling or unprepared. It’s not the grand heroic gesture that people think it is.“, she highlighted to clarify why many women do not dare to report. But, even if they do not take legal measures, there can be a support network against aggressors.
Thus, he has opined that, although politicians claim to be “allies”, the truth is that it does not always mean that they cannot be sexist. As she has argued, regardless of whether men know “the theory” or not, what is important to her is “what the women around him think of him.” Although, in this case, it is “more lax” because of what it represents.
Finally, he wanted to reflect on what sexual harassment is or is not. “Violence is a spectrum. It is not easy to know where one thing begins and another ends, but it is important that we do not mix it up,” he assured. As he wanted to clarify, ending badly in a relationship does not necessarily imply that there was violence.: “It is important that we do not use pain alone as an indicator of how much violence they have exerted.”
