Challenges that are collective and that must be present in every step we take as a society,” she expressed.

“Urgently address the climate crisis. The fight against gender violence. Improve our economic model so that it is more fair and equitable, so that it better redistributes wealth and guarantees decent work for all.

Defend, above all, human rights“, He has continued.

The acting Minister of Equality has reacted to the acts of the swearing-in of the Constitution by the Princess of Asturias: In democracy, it is the citizens who must choose all the institutions that represent us.

The president of Vox, Santiago Abascal, has spoken about the meeting of the ‘number three’ of the PSOE, Santos Cerdán, with the former Catalan president Carles Puigdemont, accusing the Sánchez Government of being “willing to trample” the Magna Carta, while Princess Leonor swears in the Constitution this Tuesday in Congress.

“Not even on a day like today are we going to contribute to hiding reality or silencing the truth. And the truth is that while the Princess of Asturias swears in the constitution, we suffer from a government in office that is willing to trample on it,” denounced the leader of Vox.

In turn, he has reproached the PSOE for defining Puigdemont as ‘president’, “a fugitive from Justice”, describing as an “anecdote” the photograph of a ballot box in the illegal referendum of October 1 that was in the room at the who met.

“It seemed like an anecdote to me, but a new proof of humiliation, the problem is not that the PSOE humiliates itself before Puigdemont, which is something frankly that we don’t give a damn about. The problem is that the PSOE intends to humiliate Spain and humiliate the institutions,” Abascal criticized.

In this regard, he has accused the PSOE of “negotiating with what does not belong to it, with national sovereignty, with the Constitution and with the equality of Spaniards before the law.” “And that is absolutely intolerable,” he declared.

The vice-secretary of Social Policies and Demographic Challenge of the Popular Party, Carmen Fúnez, has expressed that this Tuesday It is a day of “contrasts”, because the constitutional oath that Princess Leonor is going to carry out upon reaching the age of majority it comes after the “terrible” photograph of the PSOE meeting with the former Catalan president“on the run” from Justice, Carles Puigdemont yesterday in Brussels.

Fúnez has indicated that today is a day “very important” for the Princess of Asturias and the Spanish, since she will inherit the throne, she will go to the Cortes to assume her “responsibility” to defend the freedoms and rights contained in the Constitution.

“Today it is also much stronger and that guarantee of continuity and stability that the constitutional monarchy entails is established for democracy in Spain,” he said in an interview on RNE. Leonor’s swearing-in represents, Fúnez continued, the image of a young woman who will be the next head of state, “swearing and submitting to the Constitution.”

“What we are going to experience today is unfortunately a day of contrasts: the image of a young woman who will be our next head of state swearing and submitting to the Constitution, and a political party like the PSOE, which defended and has defended that Constitution, putting it in the hands of a fugitive from justice like Puigdemont,” he said.
