Law of 'yes is yes': the main march of 8-M rejects the change proposed by the PSOE and Podemos announces that it will vote against

The cards are being turned face up for the next week that will be decisive for feminism.

On the one hand, it happens that

votes on Tuesday the PSOE proposal to change the law of

without an agreement with United We Can.

On the other hand, a day later the feminist movement took to the streets to commemorate 8-M in the midst of a strong division and confronted by the policies promoted by the Ministry of Equality of Irene Montero, which will mean that there will be two demonstrations separated.

The conveners of the main march on Women's Day in Madrid have taken a firm position regarding the debate on the law of

.

The

is flatly opposed to the reform promoted by the PSOE to correct the Penal Code and aligns itself with Podemos in its criticism.

"We are not going to consent to anything that is a step backwards" in the "paradigm shift" introduced by the law of the only yes is yes to put violence and intimidation aside and to place consent at the center, they say from the Commission 8M of Madrid, whose manifestation is Atocha-Cibeles-Plaza de España.

"The focus does not have to be on the survivors, but on the aggressors and on proving whether there has been consent or not", underlined co-spokesperson

, at the press conference to present the demonstration, in which she stressed for twice that you can't take "not one step back" on that.

The position is a warning of the criticism that may fall on the PSOE that day in the streets, one day after the socialist deputies, with the foreseeable help of the PP, win the vote so that Congress begins to process its proposal for change urgently.

It is the beginning of the path.

Then it will have to be completed in the following weeks.

It is to this demonstration that the PSOE has been going for decades.

So, if this year there is no change and the socialist representatives come back, it may happen that there are shouts and banners against their proposal.

Meanwhile, Unidas Podemos has revealed that next Tuesday it will vote against the admission of the PSOE initiative for processing and has assured that it will maintain that sense of vote if the socialist proposal reaches the end of the process on the same terms.

Therefore, there will be a fracture between the two partners in the Government over one of the laws that was given the most hype when it was approved but which has turned against it like a boomerang due to the more than 760 sentence reductions for sexual offenders and pedophiles.

A whole nightmare of revisions that has not yet ended and that is bleeding the image of the Executive branch on the verge of the May elections.

PSOE and Unidas Podemos go straight to the clash.

The

spokesman ,

, has justified the vote against the socialist proposal means "returning to the Penal Code of La Manada" and has criticized the fact that two weeks after requesting a new meeting to negotiate, he did not want to sit down to seek an agreement .

In statements to the media in Congress, Echenique has recognized that on Tuesday there could be a "not very edifying show", but he has framed it not in the confrontation between the partners but in the fact that the PSOE relies on the votes of the PP to achieve his purpose of correcting the law.

In his opinion, the Socialists should bet on an agreement with the "feminist majority" of the Chamber and not on looking to their right.
