• City Hall: Citizens allow Ortega Smith to be reproached for "boycotting acts" against sexist violence and divide the municipal government

Barely an hour had passed since the Madrid City Council had failed him, when Javier Ortega Smith appeared before the media to assess the situation. "Let's say I don't give a damn, I care very little." That was the first reaction that the spokesperson of Vox had in the Consistory at the end of the municipal plenary. Blunt, without complexes.

Ortega Smith has indicated that this disapproval "has no other purpose than to go against a part of the political spectrum, against thousands of locals and definitely against thousands of Spaniards who think against the progressive consensus ." That is why, he pointed out, that this reprobation "is a pride."

Far from rectifying his position, the spokesman of the radical right formation has stressed that "if he turned back time, he would go to the same act and say the same thing again." "We defend that we must protect all victims and ensure that there are effective laws and not some that are a failure like this, " he added.

The spokesman for Vox has insisted that his training has also remained "alone" when he defends "putting up barriers and secure borders against illegal immigration", "illegalizing separatist parties" or "applying article 155 immediately". "It's nothing new," he concluded.

Precisely this attitude of Ortega Smith has been affected by the PSOE, a group that has presented the rejection calling "Vox spokesperson's response" little serious "because" being disapproved is something very serious. " The leader of the formation, Pepu Hernández, has also affirmed that the socialists are "happy" with the resolution because they have defended "the right, seriousness and respect due to the victims of gender violence and women ".
