Elche (Alicante), December 12 (EFE).- The Minister of Science, Innovation and Universities and Secretary General of the PSPV-PSOE, Diana Morant, explained on Friday that the PSOE practices “the ‘I believe you'” and acts accordingly “immediately” when there is a complaint from a victim of sexual harassment.
In statements to journalists after a meeting with speakers and deputies from the Vinalopó region to analyze the situation in the Elche-Vinalopó hospital headed by Ribera Salud, Morant pointed out that Francisco Salazar’s case had come to light shortly before a federal committee and that he had been removed from the leadership of the party “within a few hours” and announced that he would not continue in his job.
“What more could you want?” asked the minister, who claimed that “the moment an anonymous complaint is registered without any verification, it is given credibility,” as was the case with Salazar. He also said that measures had been taken in the case of the President of the Provincial Council of Lugo, José Tomé, because of his record and position in the provincial institution.
“I feel very comforted by the reaction of my party,” said Morant, adding that it is true that “we certainly have a lot to learn,” although she recalled that the PSOE has been the one that has been translating the demands of the feminist movement into law for years.
In any case, and after reiterating that the party was acting “immediately and very forcefully”, he admitted that within the party “work is being done internally to improve the protocol within the organization” because “the PSOE has zero tolerance”.
Regarding the recent corruption cases, he pointed out that those affected had received a “strong” reaction from the party with the exclusion, and went on to say that the PSOE as an organization “cannot do much more”.
According to Morant, the most recent known cases do not indicate that there was irregular financing of the party, as “was the case with Belt.” In this sense, he pointed out that “the PP works in a headquarters paid with B money” and distributed “envelopes from M. Rajoy” to “many other high-ranking officials”.
She has compared this situation to what is happening in the PSOE, where she said that it contributes “to the financing of the party as a position”, which represents “a very big difference”, as does the collaboration of the Socialists with the Guardia Civil and the judiciary, since “when Leire Díez came in with a USB stick, the PSOE handed it over to the judiciary”, while the agents arrived in Genoa to find “a computer destroyed by blows with a hammer”.
