On the occasion of 25N (International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women), accusations were exchanged between PSOE and PP of the Federation of Local Governments (FEMP) for blocking an institutional declaration. Mayor Alberto Nuñez Feijó’s decision to introduce criticism of the Ministry of Equality’s management in the crisis of telematic bracelets to crack down on abusers means that for the first time the body representing the city council will not have a written agreement, which the Socialists rejected.
“For the first time in history, the PP has left 7,000 Spanish municipalities without a manifesto to support victims of gender-based violence. The Feijo PP has crossed a serious line, breaking the historic agreement of the FEMP and aligning itself with Vox for women,” condemned Candelaria Testa, the Socialist mayor of Alcorcón, who asserted that the text had been agreed to by the city council in advance. Spokesperson for the Committee and Spokesperson between the Office of the President and the Office of the Vice President.
“I cannot understand why the PP suddenly decided that this document no longer belongs to them,” he added in a statement.
PP’s argument is that “PSOE has distanced itself.” “He did not want to make the least self-criticism about the poor management of the Ministry of Equality regarding telematic bracelets,” said Natalia Chueca, the mayor of Zaragoza.
The intention of Mr Feijault’s party’s local representatives was to introduce a line that read: “We demand that these mistakes never happen again and that women are never put at risk again.” “This minimal self-criticism of the government was enough to prevent it from moving forward with an institutional declaration about something very important and important: coming together in the fight against violence against women,” Chueca says.
“They are prioritizing the Sánchez government over its neighbours. Unfortunately, that has become the reality,” the conservative lawmaker said, while socialists regretted the introduction of “partisan disputes” over such issues. “This is unacceptable,” Testa said.
