Arrecife (Lanzarote) (EFE).- The Minister for Equality, Irene Montero, who this Sunday has participated in an act of Podemos in Lanzarote, has warned that the purple formation will protect that consent “continues at the heart of the Penal Code” and also to the coalition government that has made possible the law of only yes is yes.
In his speech, Montero regretted that, in view of the congratulations that the Spanish Government has received from the EU and other international organizations for this organic law for the comprehensive guarantee of sexual freedom, known as the “only yes is yes” law, in this country its promoters suffer “an indecent offensive of the political, judicial and media right”, which seeks a return to the previous model.
A model, he said, with which the victims of the “still invisible and normalized sexual violence were asked if they resisted, and not if they consented.”
Irene Montero has stressed that what is happening with this law, “the main feminist conquest of the last twenty years”, also happened in 2004 after the approval of the Law on Comprehensive Protection Measures against Gender Violence, against which “Spanish courts raised 200 questions of unconstitutionality”, while the dismissals of these cases “increased by 158%”.
