"Man does not mistreat, mistreats an abuser": Macarena Olona's speech against the gender violence law

• Courts. A total of 765 children were orphaned in Spain because of male violence
• Alicante: Mar's hell with 20 years: daily beatings of her ex-boyfriend, insults and two attempts at suffocation

The spokesmen of the parliamentary groups, with the exception of Vox, have supported this Tuesday a non-proposal of the PSOE by which the Government is called to take measures against the denial of gender violence that is currently experienced in Parliament through Vox speeches.

During the debate, the spokesperson for the formation of Santiago Abascal, Macarena Olona , has accused the PSOE of making "political carrion" of "suffering, mistreatment and violence". In his opinion, the socialists only want to "look for the video" for the electoral campaign in Galicia and the Basque Country and to "corner" Vox as it "has done with the right" for 20 years, when the Law against Violence of Gender .

"The man does not rape, a rapist does it, the man does not kill, a murderer kills, the man does not mistreat, he does a perpetrator. The man does not humiliate, humiliates a coward," Olona pointed out in her speech, adding that "as a woman, a Spaniard, a mother, a sister and a politician" affirms that "violence has no gender". As explained, in this sense, her party will not "allow" the man to be criminalized as a potential murderer and has pointed out that they will not accept "their ideological laws." "What they have imposed in Spain since Zapatero with its ideological law is not feminism, it is pure feminism of hatred towards men, that is what they have imposed in the nation," he denounced.

Olona thus responded to the speech of the socialist spokesperson for Equality, Laura Berja , who warned before the House that denying male violence is "putting the safety, freedom and life" of women at risk. The deputy has shown her outrage that there are people who "question the story of Ana Orantes " or " Ruth Ortiz ", some women who, in her opinion, suffered in their lives that "some machistas considered that they belonged to them." there are men who consider that women belong to them and that is violence against women, "he pointed out.

Berja has clarified that the PSOE does not believe that there are no "other forms of violence" in the family, but warns that this does not imply that there is gender violence "whose origin is machismo." "It is no coincidence that thousands of women die at the hands of their partners around the world. There is a common origin for these murders," she insisted, adding that, in addition to the murders, women suffer other violence "for the mere fact of being ", as" rapes, psychological attacks or economic violence ", in addition to" insults "that women receive in politics.

PP and Cs ask to comply with the State pact

"They are crimes committed by the structural inequality that exists between men and women, and whoever denies that is guilty of those murders," said the spokeswoman for Unidos Podemos in the matter, Mar García Puig . In her opinion, Vox's attitude denying male violence "assassinates" and "hits" the women victims of this scourge again. The deputy has reminded Olona that as much as her party tries to "intimidate" the other groups in the House, feminists "will be in front."

The PP has also supported this initiative and has defended that violence "has no ideology" but "does have gender." This was stated by his representative in the debate, Margarita Prohens, who called on the Executive to implement the measures that are still to be applied of the State Pact against Gender Violence . "We must go from the banners to the BOE, " he indicated, addressing the Ministry of Equality. In her opinion, the work of the department led by Irene Montero has "left something to be desired" in recent months and has called for "solutions for the lives of women."

The spokesperson for Equality of Citizens, Sara Giménez , has also called for action , who recalled that "there is no greater sign of inequality than violence against women" that "takes dozens of lives each year" in Spain. The oranges ask to end "unfounded speeches" and take "one step further", asking the government to catch up on the measures of the State Pact. Meanwhile, the representative of Más País, the deputy of Equo Inés Sabanés , has called on the rest of the parliamentary groups to "recompose the consensus" on this matter as an "obligation". In her view, "hatred" cannot be allowed to "articulate" women's rights.

"A party that denies rights"

From EH BIldu, his parliamentary spokesman, Mertxe Aizpurua , has regretted that victims of sexist violence do not have to face only the aggressor, the judicial system or the moral judgment, but also, now, the denialists. "Those people who literally tell them that what they suffer, have suffered and will suffer is an improper or incorrect interpretation," he said. For his PNV counterpart, Joseba Agirretxea , it is "worrying" that such an initiative has to be debated in 2020 in Congress and "it gives food for thought".

For the BNG deputy , Nestor Rego , the denial of this scourge is "legitimizing structural violence and murder" and "leaving women helpless" because "it is not considered a problem." Still, he believes this view "should not come as a surprise" from a party like Vox that denies rights "to women, gays or immigrants."

Junts deputy, Jaume Alonso-Cuevillas , also considers that there should be no doubts in supporting a proposal like this, although he acknowledges that the PSOE should not ask the government to act in this sense, when they are government.

Finally, the ERC spokesperson on Equality, Pilar Vallugera , has declared feeling "shame" when hearing Olona say that there is no male violence and has addressed her to ensure that "she has not read neither sociology nor anthropology, nor the documents "of international organizations that denounce this problem.

The deputy believes that Vox does not know the reality of the street and if he knows it "he falsifies it". Thus, he asked if he believes that the 21 women murdered in 2020 by their partners were "by chance", as well as the cases of La Manada de Pamplona or the "public humiliation" suffered by some women.
