Vox dives into a new controversy a few hours after the close of the election campaign. Javier Ortega Smith has asked that in cases of sexist violence the causes that have motivated the murders are distinguished, since, in his opinion, it is not the same as for hatred of women or that there is a psychiatric problem or a situation of alcoholism.

After participating in an electoral act in Zamora , the secretary general of Vox has criticized that it is said in all cases of women who have been killed by their partners that it was because the man is macho and hates women, since "a maybe he has schizophrenia, maybe he has an alcoholism. "

In this regard, he has assured that these aspects in other countries are studied to really know "how many causes are due to sexual hatred or are due to schizophrenia, alcoholism or drug situations, men against women or women against men," he said. .

Questioned by data on sexist violence offered by Santiago Abascal in the televised debate of candidates, Vox number two has insisted that gender violence is "a political invention" and that his party prefers to talk about domestic violence.

He also assured that the statistics of sexist violence "are falsified" since there are "thousands of false allegations that are filed" and that are not taken into account.

Ortega Smith has explained that statistics on false complaints only compute the percentage of those who come to trial in which the accused is acquitted.

This way of transmitting data on sexist violence, as he said, is due to the fact that there are "too many people who live from this beach bar" and that there are "false" NGOs that "we never see them say anything" about the treatment of Women in Islamic countries.

The leader of Vox has made these statements to journalists in Zamora, after participating in a campaign closing ceremony of that formation. In the meeting he mentioned this issue to claim the equality of the victims and protect them in the same way whether they are male or female, homosexual or heterosexual.

In an address to a hundred supporters focused on the unity of Spain and criticism of traditional parties, Ortega Smith has asked to recover the authority that has been lost both in the autonomous area and the unity of Spain and in professional plots such as of teachers or doctors.

The secretary general of Vox has revealed that on the day of reflection this Saturday he will go, as councilor of the City of Madrid, to the Almudena Cathedral to attend the mass and the planned procession, while the afternoon will be spent with the family.

Of the campaign, he has detailed that he has traveled 23,800 kilometers in four weeks and has said that the "potion" that moves Vox, similar to the Astérix and Obélix, is "the energy of the compatriots" and "the love for Spain that move borders and hearts. "
