After the recent accusations against Íñigo Errejón, his relatives, like Rita Maestre and Manuela Carmena, publicly expressed their disappointment and sadness.
Rita Maestrespokesperson for Más Madrid at Madrid City Hall and a former partner of Errejón, acknowledged that the reported events could have occurred while the two were still together. “We were a normal couple sharing a normal life, and now I feel like I was cheated on“, Maestre said. In her statement, she admitted to being devastated to learn that “a ‘good friend’ was also a misogynist who went home as if nothing had happened after assaulting a young girl 20 years in a hotel. “.
Furthermore, Master highlighted the role of feminism in this process, highlighting how much society has changed, to the point that, “48 hours after an anonymous complaint with a semblance of plausibility, a leading politician fell.”
For his part, Manuela Carmenaformer mayor of Madrid and co-founder of Más Madrid with Errejón, also expressed her surprise and disappointment. On social media, he wrote: “This seems horrible to me. I could never think or hear anything related to this behavior”. Carmena added her regrets for the victims and for Errejón himself, saying that the relationship with him was almost non-existent in recent years.
