He didn’t even see the tweet published in the summer of 2023 which warned of alleged gender-based violence perpetrated by Íñigo Errejón during a festival held in Castellón nor did he ask the former deputy about this. These are the conclusions drawn from the appearance of Yolanda Diaz this Monday in the Congress of Deputies, who shared with the press “what he experienced” regarding the Errejón scandal.
“I don’t understand the tweet. My team communicates the complaint to me and I speak with Ione Belarra and Más Madrid; I am told that an investigation is open and that The case was closed when the woman removed the tweet” Díaz said during an appearance in which he claimed to have spoken with Errejón in recent days.
Despite the insistence of journalists who asked him why he did not speak with Errejón about this first complaint, Díaz avoided giving explanations on this issue. “If I had had information like Tuesday evening, I would have acted the same way“, he clarified.
During these conversations, the former Sumar deputy recognized his “sexist and humiliating” attitudes, condemning the letter published last Thursday by Errejón, which he does not share.at all“. “It’s called machismo. This violence has no place in the political life in which I believe so much,” he declared.
Díaz defended the speed with which his group dealt with this scandal, explaining that did not “stop from addressing this issue for even a minute.” “It would not have been possible that in such a rapid period, this had never happened in a democracy, that -Errejón- was outside an organization and resigned from his responsibilities in just two days (… ), I want to be clear: I took care of my international agenda and. I personally managed this crisis. The results are in sight” he said.
