• Politics.Vox boycotts the political consensus against gender violence

Queen Letizia has been distinguished by the Observatory against Domestic and Gender Violence with the most prominent personality award in the fight against gender violence. A decision taken unanimously, and whose act has been held in a controversial political context due to the positions and declarations of Vox, which have dynamited possible consensus. Doña Letizia, who has received the award from the King, has asked "to continue fighting and confronting" domestic and gender-based violence "with all the tools allowed by the rule of law and, always, with education."

In an emotional act, the Queen wanted to have a "respectful · memory" for all women killed by their partners and former partners, 52 so far this year. Our thinking also for minors, children, fatalities sometimes, orphans often. "

The Observatory, a body under the General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ) has wanted with this recognition to highlight the Queen's commitment in the fight against domestic and gender-based violence, her support for the victims and her support for all the initiatives addressed in favor of the victims of this scourge, they point out from the CGPJ. "That support, however discreet and simple, has the power to multiply its effect, precisely because it comes from who is coming, and it certainly contributes directly to transforming consciences and encourages us all to preserve in this struggle," he said. Carlos Lesmes , president of the Supreme Court and the CGPJ.

Doña Letizia wanted to reflect in her award "recognition for all public organizations and institutions in all areas of local, regional and state administration; private institutions; organizations of all types; health professionals; social service workers; all Justice administration staff and members of the Security Bodies, in addition to the winners. "

In a political context cracked by the irruption of Vox, unleashing consensus on sexist violence, Lesmes has emphasized the "great challenge" in this area, but "with the union of all, paddling in the same direction, I am sure that we will achieve it. Together we can do great things to fight against the inequality of the coming generations. " The president of the CGPJ has acknowledged that the "elimination of gender violence remains a challenge and a pending task, because all efforts are not enough and reality indicates that something continues to fail: every murdered woman makes it clear with all its rawness. "

From the House of the King they wanted to highlight that Doña Letizia has always shown her "interest in knowing the situation" of domestic and gender violence in Spain , as well as the "initiatives developed in the fight against it and the available means for it". The Observatory recalled that the Queen publicly expressed her support for the signing of a State Pact against this type of violence and that, in addition, she has always expressed her concern for battered women, especially those in a situation of greater vulnerability: minors, older women, women with disabilities or rural women.
