Silence in Ferraz before the accusations of machismo in the PSOE of the Canary Islands

• The socialist Ángel Víctor Torres, new president of the Canary Islands after 26 years of power of the Canary Coalition

The president of the Canary Islands Government and general secretary of the PSOE in the islands, Ángel Víctor Torres , indicated that the election of Miguel Ángel Pérez del Pino as a socialist spokesman in the Cabildo de Gran Canaria , after the departure of Luis Ibarra , “does not imply any impairment for anyone ”, while from Ferraz there was absolute silence regarding the issue, which has generated great“ discomfort ”for alleged“ misogyny ”in the socialist ranks in the islands, as reported by THE WORLD today.

In this way, and given the passivity of the socialist leadership in Madrid, Torres came out to those who accuse the PSOE of machismo after the party has decided that the socialist spokesman in the Cabildo de Gran Canaria is number three on the lists and not number two , which is the insular advisor of Social Policy and Accessibility, Isabel Mena , who is also currently pregnant.

For the leader of the Canarian socialists, this is a "legitimate" decision adopted by the insular executive of the party, which "in no case is calling into question the value of any" of the eight socialist councilors in the Cabildo. He also added, according to Europa Press, that the proposal made by Luis Ibarra, outgoing Socialist councilor of the Cabildo and until then spokesman of the party, has been put to the vote and it has been decided that “a person of the eight is the spokesman, that does not mean no impairment for anyone and of course nothing has to do with either the sexual condition or the personal situation that is pregnancy ».

"The worth of Isabel Mena is out of any discussion," Torres said, since it is a person who has a "proven track record of many years," he said, although he also began that it is a collegiate decision that " it has to be respected because it is a normal procedure ».

Sources consulted by this newspaper of the PSOE of Gran Canaria underline an absolute "outrage" within the party for the ninguneo of Isabel Mena and, therefore, of the women at the time of the distribution of responsibilities. "The parity is passed through the lining of its principles," lamented a socialist leader who said that, in addition, the eight advisers of the newly appointed Cabildo are all men.
