Susana DiazThe senator for the Socialist Workers’ Party and former head of the Andalusian Junta believes that her party’s lack of action in the face of complaints of “sexual harassment and abuse of power” filed by two associates last July against Francisco Salazar, a close collaborator of President Pedro Sánchez, is “not acceptable.” … . Salazar, very close to Francisco Toscano, former mayor of Dos Hermanas and current councilor of the city of Seville, Francisco Rodriguez resigned as Secretary of Electoral Analysis and Actionwithin the PSOE’s organizational secretariat, when it was learned that she had used a position of power to harass at least two of her colleagues, although over time and controversy, Sánchez turned to him as an outside advisor.
The former president and Secretary General of the Andalusian Socialist Workers Party, Susana Díaz, emphasized that in this case there are only “two possibilities”: “If the system fails, the system is useless. “If the system does not fail and someone allows this to happen, it is disgraceful,” the former socialist leader said Wednesday on the TV show “Everything is a Lie” on Cuatro, where she collaborates as a talk show host.
They ask Montero for clarifications
Thus Susana Díaz questioned her party’s management in the Salazar case hours before equality officials from the various socialist federations. They demanded clarifications from Ferraz because the SWP did not address the complaints He also did not act seriously on an issue so sensitive to his female voters. At the urgently called meeting on Wednesday, the censure was heard directed at the current Secretary General of the Andalusian Socialist Workers Party, the First Vice President of the Government and Deputy Secretary General of the party, María Jesús Montero, for protecting Salazar, who in turn is a friend of Francisco Rodríguez, Dos Hermanas advisor and Secretary of the Andalusian Socialist Union Organization.
The former leader of the Andalusian Socialist Workers’ Party, Susana Díaz, was very “disturbed” by the method of action that was repeated in cases similar to that of Salazar, who resigned his membership to avoid being expelled from the party. “You can’t unsubscribe so they won’t kick you out“Because it will be the third time and this is starting to bother me a lot,” he explained to the show’s presenter, Risto Migida. He pointed out in particular that Lir Diez, known as the “plumber” of the Socialist Workers Party, abandoned her activist activity six days after the party opened an information file against her without taking precautionary measures, during her meetings with businessmen and lawyers in which she offered preferential deals with the Public Prosecution and the Public Prosecution Office if they contributed. Compromise of information from central operations unit commands (UCO) who were investigating Sanchez’s surroundings.
In the same way, Santos Cerdán, former secretary of the organization, resigned from his position Navarra was occupied and demobilized as a UCO militant He was identified as the alleged leader of a scheme to collect bribes in exchange for public works awards.
“The case against Salazar must end.”
Salazar followed the same path. “This means that after a while, when everything is forgotten, they can play the game again. Well, if your behavior is not appropriate to be a member of PSOE, opt out or don’t opt out, The process should end. Susana Díaz, an advocate for ending the file, said: “If your behavior is incorrect, unworthy, and not consistent with what the party establishes, then you will go out to the streets and never return to the Socialist Workers Party.” “Harm that we socialists could not have imagined.”He stressed. “It’s always the same thing: guys who abuse their power in flirting and get what they couldn’t get in a one-on-one situation with any girl,” he summed up.
The former Andalusian president was asked if the trio that pulled the strings in the 2017 PSOE primaries that ended with Pedro Sánchez winning were “unknown” to her. Susana Diaz, Santos Cerdán, José Luis Abalos, Paco Salazar, They all fell into disgrace. “They are not unknown people, I have suffered from them twice. From outsiders, nothing,” he quipped. In the 2021 primaries, they also maneuvered against her until former Seville mayor Juan Espadas won the PSOE’s Andalusian primaries that ended his term.
Diaz confirmed that they fought at the ballot boxes “Two ways of seeing the PSOE and two different ways of seeing Spain.”. In his opinion, he added, the party should be “more open to debate and disagreement.” We don’t all have to think the same way. That is why I did not join the Socialist Workers Party, and in this country I will always defend that we should not rule at any cost or with anyone.”
The Socialist senator speaks in this way after the head of government said on the Catalan channel TVE that “From a personal point of view, he was largely unknown For me, I did not know about these aspects of his personality,” she said, referring to his corrupt life.
Susana Díaz, together with other women of her party, signed a statement in favor of expelling the advocates of adulterers from the party, because, unfortunately, the “prostitute” who appeared in the party appeared.Abalos’ issue is not limited to his party.
