Vox takes Montero's words about sexual relations with minors to the plenary session of Congress, challenging her to resign

MADRID, 25 Sep. (EUROPA PRESS) -

Vox wants to take advantage of the next control session of the Government in Congress to directly ask the Minister for Equality, Irene Montero, if she plans to resign after the controversy over her statements about sexual relations and children.

In her appearance before the Equality Commission, Irene Montero alluded to the importance of minors knowing their bodies and consent in sexual relations. "The children of this country have the right to know their own body, to know that no adult can touch their body if they don't want to, and that this is a form of violence," he explained, defending the rights of minors "to know that they can love or have sexual relations with whoever they want, based, yes, on consent".

For Santiago Abascal, after these words "it is urgent" the resignation or dismissal of Irene Montero "and that she close that totalitarian ministry when she leaves." "Get your dirty hands off the kids!" he wrote on his Twitter profile. Hours later, Vox announced the presentation in Congress of a request for disapproval of the minister of United We Can.

And now the deputy Inés Cañizares has registered a question in Congress, to which Europa Press has had access, with which she will question the minister directly on this matter: "Are you going to resign?" reads the brief text.

Citizens have also branded Montero's words about the sexuality of minors "inadmissible" and have demanded that the minister resign or be dismissed by the president, Pedro Sánchez.

Faced with these criticisms, the minister claims to feel "very ashamed" for what she considers "a campaign deployed by the extreme right." "Against me, whatever they want," the minister declared in relation to the criticism and before pointing out that the country needs "an agreement to guarantee that all children have the right and effective access to their rights to an education whole sex".
