Socialist Youth asked the regional leadership of the PSdeG to convene an Extraordinary National Committee to demand “all the explanations“, in a clear and transparent manner” after information emerging in recent days on alleged cases of sexual harassment … attributed to the socialist José Tomé, who was president of the Provincial Council of Lugo.
The young people of the party in Galicia held a meeting on Saturday in which they concluded, among other things, that there is “great confusion” due to the “successive” official statements this week and the “crossed and biased” information from the media and that “no”, we know how to “communicatively manage” the crisis.
They also allude to a “latent ignorance” on the part of activists, executives and citizens of the respective protocol for this kind of thing, which, according to them, “obviously” does not work and “confuses anonymity and confidentiality”. “The only way to punish machismo, with the support of a party, is in court, not in an anonymous reporting channel“said the press release.
In this way, they consider that the debate and reflection on “everything that is happening” must be maintained in a National Committee, “behind closed doors”and cannot be limited only to the equality group and the executive.
In addition, the Galician youth organization considers that the federal leadership of the PSOE must also “be held accountable”, which is why it will ask the leadership of the Socialist Youth of Spain (JSE) to do the same and request a federal commission. “The protocol does not work; It’s good to be the first team to have one, but not if you can’t help anyone,” they insist.
Xuventudes Socialistas has already formally requested the “urgent” appeal. Its leader, Xurxo Doval, indicated, through his ‘X’ profile, that if it is not accepted or does not receive a response, They will start collecting a third of the signatures necessary delegates.
