PSOE and Podemos have clashed in the debate on the reform of the only yes is yes law, but with more harshness in substance than in form, thus trying to avoid a verbal escalation like the one experienced in the first vote in March . However, at the end of the plenary session of Congress, the more or less thick reproaches between both parties have been unleashed.
On the socialist side, Carmen Calvo has exploded against the purples and has claimed that feminism that “has its feet on the ground and hurts with the pain of women”, represented by the PSOE, “rectifies and is in the place that has to be.” “Anti-feminism is not seeing it”, she has sentenced in a message on Twitter, referring to one of the expressions used by Podemos to attack the PSOE for modifying the Criminal Code by agreeing with the PP.
The former Vice President of the Government, who already had them with Irene Montero in the preparation of this law within the Executive and who ended up leaving her position in Moncloa due to her fight over another regulation (the Trans Law), has shot at the minister of Equality and Podemos in a second message on the social network. She has affirmed that the demand for consent expressed with the cry “only yes is yes” is more present today with the reform. And she is “despite so much stupidity said in the name of feminism, especially by those who were never there and now pretend to falsely make it their own.”
On the Podemos side, members of the party, as well as the official account of the organization, have emphasized the standing applause of the PP deputies to celebrate the result of the vote as opposed to the silence and serious gesture of the PSOE bench.
“It’s called shame,” concluded the spokesman for United We Can in Congress, Pablo Echenique. “Despite all the false arguments, they know perfectly well that they are returning to the Penal Code of” the herd “through an agreement with the PP… and the PP takes the opportunity to humiliate them,” he wrote.
Also the national co-spokesman, Pablo Fernández, has released the video of that moment after the vote with the following statement: “The applause of the PP, the shame of the PSOE.” To conclude that with the change “women lose”.
The PSOE has avoided applauding or making any expression of celebration so as not to drive an even bigger wedge with Podemos, after it had to prevail over it on this issue by resorting to popular votes. A strange pact in this legislature. This attempt to reduce the tension has also been seen in the speech of the deputy Andrea Fernández, who, although she expressed a firm position, also avoided outbursts.
“The applause of the setback. The silence of shame”, has reproached the official account of Podemos. PSOE and PP “agree to end the consent of women.”
Pedro Sánchez has not participated in the vote and has been deleted from attending a debate that was going to leave the photo of a government broken by this matter. He has not even voted electronically. Just as he did not do when the socialist initiative was admitted for processing despite the political relevance that that moment also had, on the eve of 8-M. None has been or voted in those days. Today for having gone to Doñana.
The PP has taken advantage of that absence to make blood. Alberto Núñez Feijóo has commented that this has to do with the “shame” that he was going to feel when “seeing his government broken” and hence his claim to “try to change the conversation” by going to Doñana.
The leader of the PP has said that the president “is very ashamed.” “If you’ve made a mistake, show your face, ask for forgiveness, go to Congress and vote in favor of the reform” of the “only yes is yes” law and “don’t be absent because you can’t stand the breakdown of the Government.” For his part, he has stressed that he is “proud” of the role of the PP.
