The resignation of Iñigo Errejón After his admissions of sexist behavior, he is used as a platform for moral ostentation, with leaders of different parties joining every day in solemn condemnation of the alleged misogynistic humiliations committed by Sumar’s former spokesperson.
It is obvious that in many cases it is an overcompensation mechanism to eclipse the responsibility they had, those who now deny Errejónin permissiveness towards their misogynistic behavior.
But this affectation of virtuous rectitude enters the realm of resentment when the person denouncing the behavior of others is nothing less than a person convicted of membership in a terrorist organization, kidnapping, and advocating terrorism. .
Arnaldo Otegi He said on Tuesday that he felt “really affected” and “touched” by the “devastating” situation created by the accusations of sexual violence against Errejón. However, he was never so moved by the suffering caused by the armed gang of which he was a part to the hundreds of victims, from whom he refused to ask forgiveness explicitly and clearly.
The demonization of EH Bildu promoted by Otegi, which allowed him to remain on the verge of winning the regional elections in the Basque Country, went hand in hand with the reconversion of the nationalist left, which changed the flag of political violence for causes such as environmentalism, social justice or feminism.
But the imposture of this facelift appears when Otegi allows himself to qualify Errejón as a “monster”from which we deduce that he considers the alleged touching of a woman to be more serious than involvement in kidnappings and murders.
It is only with a depraved moral compass that those who have included terrorists who have committed bloody crimes on their lists can speak of “monsters”.. Who went to visit the former head of ETA Anboto in prison a few days after having obtained that the reform which will reduce the prison sentences of dozens of ETA members passes under the radar of the opposition. Who leads a party that continues to organize tributes to the gang’s murderers.
Although Otegi, who went from terrorist to feminist, is right when she says that “we don’t need to look for monsters” because “we have them on our side.” They sit in the Congress of Deputies. And the PSOE gave them its votes so that the reform of the “gag law”, which will deprotect the security forces, passes the first parliamentary procedure this Monday.
