Pedro Sanchez insists on questioning Irene Montero and points to the Minister of Equality for giving wings to Vox. The Prime Minister takes his criticism of the Podemos leader one step further after having already questioned her this Monday, assuring that some “40-50-year-old men”, among whom he had “friends”, felt “uncomfortable” in the face of “certain feminist discourses” that were “more confrontational than integration”.
A day later, the socialist leader has been interviewed in ‘El Intermedio’, where he has qualified that referred to “demoscopy studies”, but it has been reaffirmed when it comes to questioning “the way of expressing the feminism policies of the Minister of Equality” and ensuring that “it has made some people feel uncomfortable.”
The socialist leader has once again advocated “by a speech of the feminism integrator”considering that “feminism is a cause that transcends the ideological” and that implies talking about “human rights, because we are talking about real and effective equality for 51% of the population.”
“we would contribute better [al feminismo] if we made broader and more inclusive speeches”, has slipped, before directly relating the ideological feminist discourses with the growth of Vox. “When I hear Abascal say that gender is ideology, when we are talking about a concept accepted by the UN, we are talking about a setback,” she began. “Let’s not give arguments to these people and let us make much more inclusive speeches, because if feminism challenges us it is because it is a cause of human rights”.
Sanchez has arrived to expressly quote Irene Montero, pointing directly to his way of doing politics; Some ways that have generated strong tensions in this legislature not only between the coalition partners but also in the purple wing of the Government. “Not in the background of politics, but yes in the way of expressing some of political positions in relation to feminism by the Minister of Equality, I think it has done there are people who feel uncomfortableand we have to count on everyone in a cause that challenges us all”.

Pedro Sánchez has made an effort during the interview in ensure that PP and Vox are a “duo” and it has referred to expressions that appear in the Valencian agreement as “domestic violence”. “These are terms that the PP has assumed as its own,” he defended, after also referring to the controversial expression used by Alberto Núñez Feijóo, who this Monday blamed the conviction of the Valencian Vox candidate for “a harsh divorce” for gender violence .
