Belarra calls Abascal "miserable" for pouring "hate" with his tweet about the murder of the sacristan in Algeciras

Yolanda Díaz highlights that Spain is a diverse country and "proud of freedom of worship"

MADRID, 26 Ene. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The general secretary of Podemos and Minister of Social Rights, Ione Belarra, has called the tweet of the leader of Vox, Santiago Abascal, about the murder yesterday of a sacristan in a church in Algeciras, and that defines what is "ultra-right" whose policy is to "spread hate" against immigration.

This has been transferred to the media after visiting, together with the Podemos candidates for the Community of Madrid and the City Council of the capital, the municipal market of Puente de Vallecas (Madrid) and questioned by Abascal's message on networks, who attacked "Islamism" assuring that "some open the doors for them, others finance them and the people suffer from them."

In the first place, the minister wanted to send her "condolences" to the relatives and close friends of the murdered sacristan, as well as her wish for a speedy recovery for the people injured after an attack whose perpetrator has been arrested and is being investigated as a suspected terrorist attack.

Subsequently, he has censored Abascal's tweet by launching that it is "miserable to spread hatred to a group that is already stigmatized", in reference to immigration, and that now it is time to "prudence" and let the judicial authority and the Forces work and State Security Corps.

In turn, and through social networks, the second vice president, Yolanda Díaz, has also mandated her "love and affection" to the relatives of the deceased sacristan, in addition to "all the best" in the recovery of the injured.

He also stressed that "Spain is a diverse country and proud of religious freedom", also proclaiming that they are going to ensure that "coexistence continues to prevail".
