MADRID, 18 Nov. (EUROPA PRESS) -

Former Vice President Pablo Iglesias stated this Friday that "putting oneself in profile" when "a colleague is crushed", in reference to the Minister of Equality Irene Montero, "is not only miserable and cowardly, but politically stupid".

This has been indicated on Twitter to denounce that the "hunt" against Equality, as a result of the controversy surrounding the Law of 'only yes is yes' and the revision of downward sentences in some sentences of sexual abuse, and to denounce that the "judicial right" is a "political actor".

"Putting yourself in profile when a colleague is crushed is not only miserable and cowardly, but politically stupid," he launched generically and without making any specific mention. The co-founder of Podemos Juan Carlos Monedero has expressed a similar opinion on networks, criticizing that the right "is cheating to hit Podemos" while "sadly" there are "inexplicable silences."

His messages on social networks come after various representatives of the confederate space have made statements to the media about this controversy.

The second vice president of the Government, Yolanda Díaz, has asked today not to generate "social alarm" with the consequences that are being seen from the application of the Law of 'only yes is yes') and has avoided pronouncing on the attacks launched by Podemos against the judges. Of course, she has stressed that the regulations are of "extraordinary importance for the country" and has appealed to prudence.

The spokesman for Unidas Podemos in Congress, Pablo Echenique, has rejected the fact that the 'Law of only yes is yes' requires modifications and has stressed that the Minister for Equality, Irene Montero, is defending, under "very difficult" conditions, all the government work,

In addition, he stressed that when the head of Equality is being "attacked with such viciousness", who has made progress for feminism, a "good strategy" and something "sensible" within the left is to wrap up "comrades ", against those who want to "stop political change".

Meanwhile, the general secretary of the PCE and leader of the IU, Enrique Santiago, has criticized that several judicial associations have demanded the resignation of the Minister of Equality after criticizing the judges who have reduced sentences for those convicted with the implementation of the Law of 'only yes is yes'.

A position that has also been endorsed by the president of the United Podemos parliamentary group, Jaume Asens, to make ugly these groups that do not have the legitimacy to request dismissals as long as they continue to endorse an "expired" Judiciary.
