In addition, Velarde continued to fight with dozens of Twitter users, responding to comments such as: “It looks like he’s going to give away hosts like bread”, “You’re only brave with women. Cowards” or “I’m trained in self-defense.”
Attacks
Velarde denounced through his social networks the unfortunate attacks from some Twitter users who touched her clothes – as she herself did with the guests at Almeida’s wedding. However, to criticize these attacks, he accused the “followers” of Juanma Moreno, President of the Government of Andalusiaof having “machismo” and “misogyny.” In other words, from Velarde’s point of view, 1,571,655 Andalusians who obtained the overwhelming absolute majority of Moreno in Andalusia are all sexist and misogynistic.
“They will have to redouble their efforts to silence me. Because what Moreno Bonilla is doing with Andalusia can no longer be covered up by anything or anyone, especially by the machismo and misogyny of his supporters,” Martina Velarde stressed on her social networks, taking advantage of a regrettable sexist episode to file a complaint against more than one and a half million Andalusians.
