He socialist mayor of Belalcázar, Francisco Luis Fernández, had to resign on Friday after ABC revealed sexual harassment messages he made to a City Hall subordinate from March 2023 to early 2025. The statement in which … He announced his farewells with passages that defy even the slightest common sense. It stands out in that it ensures that “at no time my words and the attitudes were stalker character“. The subtleties that this woman received on her WhatsApp say the opposite: “I really want you”, “Will you let me eat it so you can see if it makes me feel good?” or “I am alone at the town hall”. Added to this are photos that he sent to the victim in which we see him with little clothing. No one should address others in terms such as those cited, except in the area of mutual consent, which in this case did not exist.
During his farewells, he could not nor to apologize directly And expressly to the victim. Furthermore, vomiting is the hypocrisy with which this politician behaved. A month and a half before being forced to return home, he had approved in plenary session an institutional manifesto against sexist violence “in all its forms” in rural areas.
Faced with events as serious as these, the management of Publication of the PSOE of Cordoba A release of a paragraph in which he limited himself to indicating that he had been asked to resign from all his positions and that he had accepted – at least he had a glimmer of dignity and did not retain the mayor’s certificate. Not a sentence of support or of solidarity with the woman who had suffered this harassment. It was not until the end of Friday that the Equality Secretariat of this party in the province spoke of “condemnation of all sexist attitudes” or “support for those who suffer from these situations”, without however directly referring to the victim.
Of course, the provincial leader of the socialistsRafi Crespín, who remained silent in the face of ABC’s attempts to contact him, had time to post on The PSOE of Cordoba remains to be done what say. “They will know them by their deeds.” Well, the ”facts” They are not for a medal. He did what any political force should do when faced with someone who recognizes such disgusting behavior.
Given what has happened here and in the rest of Spain in recent weeks, as Company -I don’t expect real self-criticism from the PSOE or any other party- we should think seriously on why in the 21st century always there is still men who believe they have the right to do so, because have a penis and testicles and think with themdisturb, disturb, force, press… has women to maintain relationships when they don’t want to. These events become even more serious if they occupy a job position that allows them to exert influence over the victims. It’s obvious we’re not doing something right.
