The minutes of silence called this Tuesday by the main public institutions of Valencia to condemn the recent sexist murders in the Valencian Community, especially in Orihuela Costa and Castellón, were marred by slogans and banners of condemnation. Two banners have been placed on the doors of the Valencian Cortes: one with the inscription “No to violence against women”, behind which the PP and Vox deputies have gathered, and one placed during the last legislative period, whose motto is “ Las Courts against Sexism” is violence and which the MPs from PSPV-PSOE and Compromís have stood behind.
Practically at the same time, the Ministry of Justice and Interior, led by the far-right group, published a tweet condemning without any nuance the two sexist murders and the murder of a man, allegedly committed by the woman with whom he had a relationship had. Employees in Alcàsser. “We work to eliminate all types of domestic violence against women, men and children,” writes Justicia. However, the mayor of Alcàsser himself, Alberto Primo of the PP, stated last Monday that the conviction for “gender-based violence” must be separated from the recent deaths of two women in Orihuela and Castellón, since they were “the one who committed the crime “. “Generalitat” by “the President Carlos Mazón and the Vice President Susana Camarero” on the violent death of Manuel. “It’s not the same. We show our unconditional support to the family so that we can imagine how they are feeling. Of course we condemn any form of violence,” he added.
The department has reached the doors of the Consell. Treasury spokesperson and adviser Ruth Merino responded after Tuesday’s plenary session. “This Consell is united and working together to address gender-based violence. Banners do not save lives and nomenclature should be secondary. I don’t care what it’s called or what semantic problems there are. When it comes to women feeling protected, government measures are important,” emphasized Merino.
The condemnation rally this Tuesday was the first to take place after an agreement was reached last week at the table of the Valencian Parliament between PP and Vox, government partners, to regulate these acts. The Socialists demanded in the Cortes that this concentration should be uniform, since Vox has not been behind the banner in either the two concentrations that have taken place so far in the legislative period, nor those that have taken place since his arrival in the Valencian Parliament in 2019 stood, and neither will they have the motto “Against gender-based violence”.
The PP presented an alternative proposal, which was adopted with the votes in favor of Popular and Vox, which have an absolute majority in the Cortes, and against PSPV-PSOE and Compromís, in which it regulated these concentrations, for which there is no protocol and set the motto “No to violence against women”, which will also be on display this Tuesday.
