Interview.Mariló Montero: "Life is not remade with a partner, it is remade alone"
Controversy. Pablo Iglesias apologizes for "wanting to whip until he bleeds" Mariló Montero
The comment that Pablo Iglesias made about her in a relaxed conversation on a Telegram channel of leaders of Podemos uncovered the alpha male that he carried inside.
"I would whip her until she bled", an unfortunate phrase that has been pursuing Mariló Montero (55) for years - there is no interview in which she did not have to refer to her - and that is part of the 'Dina case', which could lead to Vice President of the Government before the Supreme Court for alleged crimes of discovery and disclosure of secrets aggravated by gender, computer damage and false report or simulation of crime.
The Navarrese journalist believes that
Iglesias "has given himself away
.
"
"The nervousness with which he is presenting himself before the Senate or the media in which the second vice president is speaking says more than we would have suspected," Montero tells LOC in his
assessment of the latest judicial actions
that affect the vice president of the Government .
"Minister Irene Montero has been especially nervous these days coming to
rebuke a deputy of the PP.
Like Echenique and Monedero, who launch
incongruous and pamphlet speeches threatening their interlocutors.
The minister spokesperson says that they are judicial cases of 'her life in the past '"adds Montero.
"The podemitas networks have been denounced by the magistrate who has raised the case to the Supreme Court when he is receiving death threats.
Pablo Iglesias has released the ring of the bomb with which he intended to explode Spain
and it is going to explode in his own hands. Justice will say if it can truly be free and independent from the executive power. We still have a democratic country, "the journalist concludes.
In the context of the media case that Judge Manuel García Castellón has instructed, the phrase is nothing more than a morbid anecdote, but it served to highlight the machismo of the leader of Podemos, the "alpha male" of the herd, as he referred to himself in another of the conversations published after the theft of his former adviser Dina Bousselham's mobile phone and the dissemination of its content.
Pablo Iglesias, in Congress.
It has rained a lot since the digital medium
Okdiario
published the screenshots of a conversation that Iglesias had with Juan Carlos Monedero on the Telegram channel of which several party leaders were members.
In that relaxed conversation, held in August 2014 and published two years later, Monedero made fun of the journalist, whom he called Marilú "like cookies."
"I would whip her until she bled ... That is the B-side of the national popular," replied Iglesias, who finished the joke by defining himself as
"a somewhat perverse Marxist turned psychopath."
The conversation took place several days after Montero, who then presented
TVE's La Mañana,
said that Pablo Iglesias was "a dark man."
"It is not the 15M banner or the prototype of the Iberian male. The Iberian male defends and protects women, I do not see myself defended by his speech at all," added the journalist.
Those statements did not like the leader of Podemos, who has feminism as a banner.
His offensive words were not denounced and it was Mariló herself, perplexed by the general silence, who did so before the Institute for Women.
"Although he himself describes himself with his own words, I see myself faced with the responsibility of expanding my opinion, at a social level, so that no woman can tolerate such aberrations since, these days, there has been a clamorous silence about such serious verbal aggression," he argued in a letter he sent to the agency of the Ministry of Health, Social Services and Equality.
According to Montero, Iglesias should "immediately resign from his post."
He also defended that access to any public representation should be prohibited, "since no woman in this country can feel protected by a politician who has portrayed himself as a perverse and psychopath."
The Women's Institute dismissed the language of Pablo Iglesias as "totally inadmissible, because it is sexist and because it incites violence".
The apology'
The uproar that arose finally forced Iglesias to apologize: "I am very ashamed of having made, even in a private group, an unforgivable macho joke. Sometimes I have made comments that when you read later you say: it is unpresentable. There what one You can do is apologize and say:
I'm very sorry.
I did this wrong, "he declared during a Senate appearance.
A few months later, in his statement on March 27, 2019 before Judge Manuel García Castellón, where
he appeared as the injured party, he
assured that the comment
"was a very unpleasant joke
.
"
"I recognize that the messages that are published are mine, so I have to apologize for some of them.
A very unpleasant joke on my part
about a journalist, about Mariló Montero, who commented in a private group of friends, is made public by
Okdiario
and I have to apologize for making a joke in a private group, "he said
But
the apology knew little about the journalist
.
In an interview with
El Español
during the promotion of her book
La maestra
, Montero was asked again about the subject.
"Apologizing for something means that you do not feel what you have done
and sorry is that you regret something that you admit to having done," he clarified.
