Preventing sexual harassment in public institutions: latest revelations and resignations in Spain and institutional responses (debate)
Mr. President, Paco Salazar, Moncloa's advisor, denounced for harassment. The president of the Diputación de Lugo, denounced for harassment. The government delegate in Castilla y León, denounced for harassment. Mayors in Córdoba, Valencia and Malaga, denounced for harassment. All socialists, all undercover and protected for months by the party that claims to defend women. "I do believe you"... but not so much. And they are not isolated cases, it is a complete system. The complaints came to Ferraz and Ferraz buried them. They knew who they were and what they were doing. And instead of acting, they were promoted. The day before yesterday we learned that, in Granada, a former councilor of the Popular Party was assaulted in his house, raped in a group, beheaded and thrown through a ravine. His partner was tortured and killed in a bathtub. His executioners were four criminals, two of them illegal immigrants. It happened three years ago, but we found out the day before yesterday, when the sentence was handed down. Three years of absolute silence. Not a minister, not a banner, not a minute of silence. Not a strong condemnation against the heteropatriarchy, not a single headline in the regime's media. Today we also know in the Canary Islands the conviction of an illegal Moroccan who repeatedly raped and brutally beat a sixty-year-old woman. Nor will they make banners because you do not defend women: You select victims and you choose the culprits. You acquit your own and condemn others. They make the law, they accuse whoever they want and on top of that they want to pass sentence. But look, that's over. As long as you cover up harassers and silence abominable crimes, we will continue to defend every young man and woman who has been raped. Fall whoever falls, until you fall.
