and the division of the feminist movement yesterday blurred the traditional party of 8-M.

This 8-M will be remembered, without any doubt, as the most bitter of Irene Montero.

The day that is called to be the most beautiful for a Minister of Equality was not.

In that of the PSOE the same thing happened.

Up to eight ministers (Nadia Calviño, María Jesús Montero, Isabel Rodríguez, Pilar Llop, Diana Morant, Carolina Darias, Reyes Maroto, Raquel Sánchez) and one minister (Luis Planas), in addition to the president's wife, Begoña
