The feminists against the Trans Law call a demonstration in Madrid for the 8M, which will be divided into two

The Feminist Movement of Madrid, made up of organizations critical of the trans law promoted by the Government, has called a demonstration on 8M in the capital under the slogan “feminists fighting for women’s rights.”

International Women’s Day will have two different marches in Madrid for the second consecutive year due to the gap that the norm and the management of the Ministry of Equality have unleashed within the feminist movement. The 8M Commission, convener of the feminist strikes that filled the streets in 2018 and 2019, has already announced the call for a demonstration, which will depart from Atocha at 7:00 p.m. to culminate in Plaza de España. For its part, the Madrid Feminist Movement will leave the same place, although half an hour earlier and will head in the opposite direction, along Calle Atocha.

The organizations centralize their demands in eight points, among them, the demand for public policies against the labor gap, sexist violence or in favor of public health. But, like last year, the split has occurred because these groups declare themselves “abolitionists of the prostitution system” and “against the erasure of women and the reactionary idea of ​​the wrong body”, they wield in reference to the Trans Law. They also affirm that “in other spaces feminist demands have been replaced by neoliberal policies that collide with women’s rights,” they affirm about the 8M Commission.

ERC will vote against accelerating the processing of the reform of the ‘only yes is yes’ law if Unidas Podemos does not support it

The spokesman for Esquerra Republicana, Gabriel Rufián, affirmed this Tuesday that his group will not participate in any attempt by the PSOE to advance the processing of the reform of the ‘only yes is yes’ law that does not have the support of United We Can. “ERC will not vote in favor of moving forward with this initiative without an agreement between Unidas Podemos and PSOE. It is first of all common sense ”, said the Republican spokesman at a press conference in Congress.

Rufián has responded in this way when asked about the possibility that the PSOE will raise today in the Board of Spokespersons of Congress to advance the Plenary of the consideration of the reform proposed by the Socialists next week, something that would require the unanimity of all parliamentary groups to get ahead. The ERC deputy, however, did not want to comment on the specific proposal that the PL has raised because, he has said, it is a “technical” debate and any position on his part would generate a “headline” and “noise” to the discussion.

Also right-wing and extreme-right voters, despite the fact that Vox is not in favor and in the PP both positions are seen: 60.9% of popular voters are in favor and 67.4% of those of the far right, too.

-Ayuso despises the demands for public health that other governments try to meet: while in other political communities of all stripes they try to channel their respective health conflicts, in Madrid the Ayuso government is entrenched in its attacks on doctors and staff sanitary.

-The health unions accuse Moreno of hiding from them a rule that “conceals the privatization of primary care”: the project of the Government of the Junta to refer patients from primary care to private hospitals has generated strong discomfort among the unions present in the health sector table.

-The Supreme Court frustrates the objectives of the Government and ERC with the reform of sedition and embezzlement: the order with which the judges refuse to lower the disqualification of Oriol Junqueras regrets the possible impunity of the street mobilizations of the process but maintains a hard criminal horizon for charges awaiting trial for diverting public funds for the referendum.

-The PSOE accelerates the reform of the ‘only yes is yes’ despite the lack of agreement with Podemos: after a week of the PSOE registering alone its proposal to reform the law of ‘only yes is yes’, the positions of coalition partners have only walked away. For the moment, there have been no new meetings, nor have there been any advances of any kind, according to the sources consulted in both wings of the Executive.
