More legislation and less denial

Around a thousand people participated yesterday in the central demonstration for the events of the Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, which brought together around a thousand people in the capital under an intense cold that has been felt.

“Not even an aggression without a response”, “Machismo is terrorism” and other traditional slogans marked the tour that began in the Plaza de Guzmán and ended in Botines with the reading of the manifesto. “Putero to the cauldron and Errejón the first,” the protesters, who were the majority in number, also chanted.

“26% of sexist murderers in 2023 had previously been reported for gender violence. 16% had current restraining orders that they failed to comply with to commit the murder. In these cases, the institutions failed to apply protection measures for the victims in a situation of known extreme risk,” denounced the manifesto, read at the end of the demonstration in the vicinity of the Plaza de Botines.

The delegation was led by the Platform against Sexist Violence of the capital. The Simone de Beauvoir association, the Abolitionist Platform, UGT and CCOO, Communist Youth, UPL, PSOE, IU, PCE and other groups were also seen, the others without allusive banners but with a testimonial presence.

“We cannot afford more sentences like the one in Murcia, which has left some businessmen who raped minors on the streets,” complained Encina Gutiérrez as spokesperson for the organization. “Nor can we consent to the political wave of looking the other way when the denial of sexist violence is encouraged,” he noted in a veiled allusion to Vox.

The slogans that were chanted on the route were very varied: “Putero to the cauldron and Errejón the first”
