Gutiérrez downplays controversy between Simón and Tolón: ‘They were both wrong’

The organizing secretary of the PSOE of Castile-La Mancha and national deputy, Sergio Gutiérrez, highlighted that the controversy generated around the statements of the Minister of Equality, Sara Simón, and the subsequent statements of the government delegate in Castile-La Mancha. … La Mancha, Milagros Tolón, “has no further progress” and must be considered finished.

Gutiérrez recalled that Sara Simón “already apologized for certain words that were a mistake”, recognizing that it was “an unfortunate sentence” in which “he was clearly wrong“. In this sense, he stressed that with these apologies “the part in which the error was made has been settled“.

In this context, Sergio Gutiérrez added that, in the same way that the Minister of Equality recognized her mistake and apologized, “Milagros Tolón was also wrong in her statements yesterday“.

Likewise, the socialist leader considered that the debate generated subsequently continues “something that does not have major importance from any point of view.” “Too much is being done on an issue that has already been clarified,” he said.

However, he insisted on the fact that “everything has already been said” and that this matter “does not go any further”, calling for the controversy to be definitively closed.
