• Macho violence: Women abandon the act against gender violence in the Madrid City Council during Ortega Smith's speech

Citizens have decided this morning to open disciplinary proceedings to their spokesman in the City Council of El Espinar (Segovia) , for presenting a motion together with the PP and Vox asking to repeal the law against gender violence.

In a statement from the party, Cs says he "strongly condemns" the motion and opens a file to the spokesman in El Espinar, Jesús Ángel Gascón .

As the text adds, the motion goes "against the principles of the orange formation and underestimates a scourge that has left 52 fatalities so far this year." This text has been presented on the occasion of the International Day against Gender Violence .

Although the national spokeswoman for Cs, Lorena Roldán, has been twice asked about this issue at a press conference, she did not want to speak out because she did not know the subject. After the appearance, sources of the liberal formation have explained that Cs has decided to open a file to his councilor.

Apparently, the motion had been presented jointly by the mayor of the PP, Cs and Vox and was going to be voted on next Thursday.

Lorena Roldán has said that "it is a real shame" that Vox is currently blocking initiatives and institutional declarations against sexist violence. And he has claimed the unity of all parties to fight against this scourge.

"Confront men and women"

The text signed by PP, Cs and Vox in Segovia ensures that the law against gender violence "undermines the principle of presumption of innocence", "criminalizes" men "because of their sex" and "confronts men and women".

The motion also mixes immigration with gender violence and sexual assault by claiming to combat illegal immigration because "it encourages sexual exploitation and creates insecurity in neighborhoods where, increasingly, they do not feel safe."

Cs sources have flatly rejected this text. And they have assured that they will take all the necessary measures so that the spokesman withdraws his signature from it.
