One of the most outstanding aspects of the interview with the President of the Government on Onda Cero has been the statements he has made about the Ministry of Equality. Pedro Sánchez has recognized this Monday in ‘Más de Uno’ his disagreements with Minister Irene Montero over the ‘only yes is yes’ law that has led to reductions in the sentences for sexual offenders.

“There have been discrepancies,” said the socialist leader about the head of the Equality portfolio. “I recognized the error. I was trying to persuade my government partner” of the need to resolve the situation, he added. He also acknowledges that there have been “setbacks” in “integrated feminism” due to “uncomfortable” speeches that have been raised since the “confrontation”, alluding to the policies developed by Montero.

“This integrating feminism is probably the pending task that progressive Spain in particular has in the coming years and it is probably where we have regressed somewhat and that is a confirmation, an objective fact,” she pointed out.

Montero responds to Sánchez

Sánchez’s words about feminism and the Ministry of Equality have provoked the reaction of Irene Montero. The minister has shared an image on her Twitter account in which she reads: “Sorry for the inconvenience, but they are killing us.” Said message was published this morning, shortly after the interview with President Pedro Sánchez.

Other reactions to the words of the PSOE leader

The words of Irene Montero have not been the only ones that have emerged after the interview with Sánchez. Former Vice President of the Government Pablo Iglesias, has also reacted on his channel: “You know girls. Feminism is a little worth it, but don’t bother us gentlemen, because you are very annoying.”

Also number two on the Podemos list for the Madrid City Council in the last elections, Carolina Alonso, has criticized the words of the President of the Executive. “Pedro Sánchez has friends between the ages of 40 and 50 who have felt uncomfortable with feminism. I have them too, Pedro, but I spend time explaining to them why it is necessary…”.

From Izquierda Unida they have also made ugly the words of Pedro Sánchez. “Where a 50-year-old man gets to the point of being offended… that is unbeatable,” the political formation wrote on Twitter.
