The Minister of Equality, Ana Redondo (PSOE), has lashed out against Vox, considering that its positions on the Law against Gender-Based Violence represent a "rollback to very dark times".
In statements to the media at an event held in Santander, the Equality official criticized the remarks made by the leader of the party, Santiago Abascal, this Monday on the program 'La Revuelta', in an interview with David Broncano, where he stated that this law is "ineffective" and that it has not managed to "solve" the problem.
"What can we expect from a denier?", Redondo has said, who has stressed that Vox "when it comes into the equation, it is not an alternative".
Along the same lines, she has reiterated that "you cannot whitewash the rollback" or the stances that call into question the existence of male-chauvinistic violence, even more so in an exercise that, as she has emphasized, has once again been "very harsh" for this reason.
The minister has said that this year 44 women have been murdered by gender-based violence, and she has also wanted to remember all those who suffer male-chauvinistic violence every day.
"Whoever makes fun of that, whoever denies that reality that so many women live and that so many women suffer every day is a truth is, of course, a person who does not deserve to be in politics and does not deserve to represent the Spanish people", she has stated.
Redondo made these statements in response to questions from journalists during the awarding of the Carmen Alborch Awards, organized by the PSOE of Santander, among which she herself was also honored.
