The PP accuses the president of the government, Pedro Sánchez, and corrects his remarks during the control session this Wednesday. Concretely, the head of the Executive maintained that the case of sexual harassment for which the former senior official of Moncloa and Ferraz Francisco Salazar is accused concerns a “structural and systemic problem”since one in three women say they have suffered sexual harassment in their work environment, according to a survey by the Ministry of Equality. Popular sources refute Sánchez and try to focus attention: “There is no structural problem of people hiding crimes, The question is how to react when a case like this is detected, and at the PSOE they have covered it up“. It is for this reason that the PP predicts that socialists will take “years” to regain their credibility when they speak of feminism.
“They have failed in everything they could fail”, they say from Genoa, at the same time as they denounce the fact that the PSOE “Not only did he hide it, but he met with the plaintiffs and told them not to tell because they could ruin lives.“, in reference to information that reports an alleged meeting between the first vice president of the government, María Jesús Montero, with the workers who denounced Salazar. These same sources also recalled other cases of sexual abuse in left-wing parties, such as that of Íñigo Errejón in Sumar, the government partner of the PSOE.
Indeed, in the PP, we consider that these sexual harassment scandals within the party will cause havoc, in the electoral sense, in both parties. “This record of service by the left in this country makes The electorate who voted for his equality policy took time to regain confidence.“, underlined the popular, who declared that they were going to “influence with all the intensity” to collect in the form of votes all the discontent and frustration that PSOE voters may feel.
The most popular ones also mentioned the latest case of this type located at the Provincial Council of Lugo, more precisely at its president and mayor of Monforte, José Tomé, who announced on Wednesday his resignation from his position as president of the provincial administration and the removal of all his mandates within the Socialist Party of Galicia, after having defended a few hours before that the complaints filed against him were “false”.
Likewise, the consulted sources also responded to the comments of the President of the Government, with which he described PP and Vox as a “negationist coalition” for their government agreements in different autonomous communities. In this sense, the popular criticizes that They don’t know “the leaders of the PP and Vox who go down with their flies in front of their colleagues”.“, and they added that “the party of the immodest is theirs, not others”, alluding to other known scandals within the PSOE in which the brothels are involved, such as those linked to the plot that led to the imprisonment of José Luis Ábalos and his former advisor Koldo García. Popular sources also mention the case of “Tito Berni”.
Furthermore, in the PP they presuppose that “they are not the same”, because The sexual harassment complaint procedure is “very different from the roots”since they “do not hide but act”, and do not “paralyze” investigations either. “We don’t go out to lunch either,” they criticized, referring to the meeting that took place between Salazar and the Minister of Education and government spokesperson, Pilar Alegría, a few months after the complaints against the former high-ranking socialist official became known.
They target partners who maintain a “corrupt” and “sexist” government
On the other hand, in the People’s Party, they no longer concentrate their fire on the Socialist Party, but broaden their field of action and They directly designate the parties that keep him in Moncloa, like Sumar. In this sense, the popular spokesperson, Ester Muñoz, openly criticized the attitude of the group led by Yolanda Díaz towards the complaints of sexual harassment that besiege the Socialists, given that they “support a corrupt and sexist government”.
Concretely, Muñoz criticized Díaz, during the plenary session of Congress this Wednesday, that the vice-president of the government “looked away” and “held his nose” in the face of the corruption of the Koldo affairthe imprisonment of former minister José Luis Ábalos and former socialist number three Santos Cerdán, as well as the accusations against the president’s brother and his wife, Begoña Gómez.
¿How can he stand the foul smell that surrounds him? ¿What else needs to happen for you to leave this government and stop supporting it?“, launched Muñoz. Some accusations target the Executive as a whole, and not just the PSOE, and begin to demand political responsibilities also from the partners, who for the moment have closed ranks with the socialists in the cases of corruption and sexual harassment that have surrounded them for several weeks. Scandals that are causing considerable wear and tear to the government of Pedro Sánchez, and whose consequences could emerge strongly in the electoral cycle that begins with the regional elections in Extremadura, on the 21 next December.
