The case of Íñigo Errejón has been the subject of intense public debate, not only because of the nature of the accusations of sexist violence against him, but also because of the dilemma it poses when these accusations affect a figure who called himself the standard bearer of a series of values. progressives to which he has not known how to respond. This situation brings to light a paradox: how should the issue of gender violence be addressed when the figure mentioned is someone who, in theory, defends the demands of feminism? There is no simple answer to this, but it does raise a series of reflections on the coherence between speech and action, especially in those people who have the role of political representation, since, as society becomes more criticism of abuses of power, the need for coherence between public discourse and personal actions becomes increasingly evident.
Now, accusations of sexual assault against public figures like Errejón are not only serious in nature, but detailed accounts of these cases have shown the sordid and violent nature of the reported acts, revealing an abuse of power in its most serious form. raw. These stories expose practices of control and emotional manipulation that go beyond the private sphere, making use of their privileges, showing to what extent machismo and gender violence are naturalized in all spheres. By uncovering these details, not only is the reality of structural machismo demonstrated, but also the fragility of the barriers that, in theory, should protect victims of violence. Society, which could previously ignore or minimize these behaviors, now faces an inescapable representation of the effects of abuse, requiring an urgent rethinking of how we respond as a community to gender-based violence and the role we play in tolerating or confronting it.
