The feminism of Pedro Sánchez is the same as that of José Luis Ábalos: “I am a feminist because I am a socialist”; That is, a contradiction in terms, based on what we learn. The former organizing secretary of the PSOE likes women, even if … not exactly in the way that would correspond to the quality attributed to this arrogant proclamation. He likes catalog girls who are responsible for satisfying the desire for domination of guys like him, whose conception of intimate relationships is to objectify them until they become objects designed to give him pleasure. The fact that the vice was paid for with our money adds another point of gravity to the scandal, which in moral and certainly feminist terms is repugnant in itself. The thing about the gang leader is more subtle, but no less sexist, but even more so, because it covers the entire spectrum of behaviors and attitudes intended to transform women into vessels in his service, or into pieces to be beaten when they dare to stand up to him.
Sánchez surrounds himself with submissive women who do his will, but he places his trust in men like Ábalos, Cerdán or Paco Salazar, a senior official in the presidency and the party, whom he has protected for months, despite complaints of sexual harassment brought against him by his own colleagues. Sánchez delights in the obscene praise of his Torquemada at the Treasury, María Jesús Montero, also defender of the slimy stalker, as well as the dog-like obedience of Pilar Alegría, his minister-spokesperson, always ready to say one thing and its opposite when she “changes her mind.” This is her model of “collaborator”: complacent and quiet, except to agree with her. It separates those who have their own meaning, like Elena Valenciano or Adriana Lastra.
Sánchez did not hesitate to marry the daughter of a businessman enriched by brothels, who lent a hand to the family business by taking care of cash payments for advertising inserted in the magazine ‘MENsual’. Once in power, it seems entirely natural to her that she directs a master’s degree without a diploma, resorting to the “marriage route”. Begoña Gómez quickly climbed that old ladder on her husband’s shoulders, happy to use his influence to help her climb.
The danger in their eyes lies in those who, like Isabel Díaz Ayuso, have made careers alone, without the need for godfathers or husbands, until they obtained broad popular support. The Madrid president is an authentic feminist, not in words but in actions, who faces him without any fear and dares to refute his dogmas. Which is why it obsesses him to sickening extremes. This is why he uses the weakest ammunition against her. Pedro “el Guapo” cannot stand a woman’s challenge.
