We can denounce the resistance of the PSOE to its laws and refuses to agree to any cut to the trans regulations

He says that there is no option to agree to cuts in this regulation, that his partner does not take well to directing Equality and praises the "courage" of Montero

MADRID, 10 Dic. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The co-spokesperson for Podemos, Isa Serra, has criticized that the "resistance" and "obstacles" of the PSOE to complete the laws promoted by its space is a "constant" during the legislature and has stressed, regarding the Trans regulations, that there is no possibility to negotiate "cuts" and that its partner must choose: "LGBTI or PP rights".

In an interview with Europa Press, he also praised that more and more people support the "courage" of the Minister for Equality, Irene Montero, when it comes to deploying feminist advances and combating the structure of "patriarchy", as she did in the Congress when pointing out the "culture of rape" that PP campaigns connote in Madrid or Galicia.

The leader of the formation has criticized the "interest" of the PSOE in "insistently" putting complications in the legislative projects of United We Can, such as the Housing Law, the Animal Welfare Law, the Trans regulations themselves or the Families law, which It supposes an "absolute mistake" of the Socialists, who after the approval of the Budgets think they are "with a greater capacity to block them".

"Unfortunately it is already a constant in the coalition government that there is reluctance and resistance on the part of the PSOE to social advances. I think it is evidence," Serra stated to claim that the public knows that the "most ambitious" measures that guarantee social rights, come from the push of the minority partner.

Of course, Serra does not know if the delays applied by the PSOE are due to "electoralism", because in that case it would be a "major miscalculation" when they are legislative projects positively received by society. Therefore, he illustrates that it is precisely the PSOE who with "all its might" tries to prevent commitments made in the coalition agreement and all progressive voters.

In this way, he has opined that the "absolute certainty" that this drift throws is that his space has to be the majority force to reissue the coalition and that these regulatory advances are "approved more quickly."

However, the leader of the purple party has trusted that, despite this resistance, her "insistence" will get the laws approved in this legislature and, consequently, they will not propose any type of rupture of a Government, a scenario that they do not shuffle because they want to reissue the coalition.

Regarding the Trans Law, Serra has highlighted that it is a demand not only from this group but from the LGTBi movement as a whole, which guarantees, for example, gender self-determination, and has promised that the Government will continue with its agenda of guaranteeing trans rights without cuts and with the norm "approved before the end of the year".

He has also stressed that the movement has called a demonstration this Saturday to demand that there be no cuts in the law, a march to which Podemos will be, and has censured that the PSOE amendments regarding trans childhoods are a "clear setback", which also contravenes the criteria of the Constitutional Court through several rulings that preserve the right of minors to decide on a change in registration.

Therefore, the co-spokesperson for Podemos has made it clear that the wording on trans childhoods "is not debatable", they are going to support the text that came out of the Council of Ministers and there is no option to "compromise" with their partner, who must decide in this point if he is with the "LGBTI rights or with the PSOE".

It has also slipped that the PSOE "has never gotten along well" that Equality is managed by United We Can, which is one of the causes of the "constant criticism" by socialist sectors of the "unquestionable" and "indisputable" feminist advances, sponsored for the department of Montero.

But in addition, these criticisms in the ranks of the PSOE respond to the fact that in the past this formation "capitalized" a feminist movement, but now there is a "generational gap" and "he still does not understand" that now the Ministry of Equality, which Podemos holds, is the that connects with the new generation of feminist rights.

Regarding the Trafficking Law, he stressed that the rule, despite not including some proposals that they raised, guarantees, thanks to contributions from Equality, the protection of victims from a gender perspective, given that 72% are women. Therefore, it is a "good regulation" and they will assess the possibility if some improvement can be introduced in the parliamentary process.

On the other hand, he has supported Montero's denunciation that certain PP campaigns for 25N were framed within the "culture of rape", because "they are very clear" that to overcome "patriarchy" their structures must be named.

And, in addition, Serra has highlighted that Montero's courage against the right and in favor of feminist progress is increasingly supported, especially when in Congress he has suffered "political violence", which is not limited to the "insults" of Vox but to a "hunt" launched by the "right" against her, because she knows that those conquests for feminism in the Executive depend on her.

However, he has qualified that the attitude of the president of Congress, Meritxell Batet, was "serious" in "rebuking" the minister, which means "equating political violence by the extreme right against Montero with the voice of feminism to name what is violence against women".

"What it does is trivialize political violence and draw a false equidistance between those who suffer violence and those who exercise it, between the strategies of the extreme right and the Democrats," he has settled.
