“We want to manifest sharply that we consider that you have not undercover those reprehensible actions.” The phrase is written by Gabriel Ortega, responsible for the organization of Mas Madrid, and the conclusion, which sounds like an exculpatory sentence, the, in its head of the cabinet of Íñigo Errejón, in a letter that has just been published on social networks n. The Parmantaia, with low for a few months, had been expelled from the direction bodies of the party after considering that he had maneuvered to cover up the complaint against the politician by a woman during a concert in Castellón in 2023. Arenillas refused to leave the act and defended that it was only “an scapegoon” of the party. Today, after the most Madrid publication, he has confirmed that he renounces his seat.
“Today, through this letter, I end one of the most intense and committed stages of my life, my cycle in more Madrid as the leader of the party and as a deputy in the assembly of the Community of Madrid. I wanted to thank all the militancy of mm that gave me the opportunity to represent them, it was an honor. From now public, ”says Arenillas.
“Dear Loreto: From the most Madrid party we want to express our regret for the negative consequences that happened in October 2024 have been able to cause in your life. All this occurred in difficult circumstances for the organization, in the midst of a crisis caused by a series of incoherent, irresponsible and ethically reprehensible acts of third parties. Neither you, nor more Madrid are responsible for these facts, but they have all caused us, but they have caused us to all. And outrage.
In his own letter, Arenillas thanks the address “who has finally rectified and recognized” that he never covered up “nothing.” “That the truth was public and undisputed was essential to be able to leave this stage behind,” he emphasizes despite assuming that the right to oblivion is not guaranteed and that the “fingerprint” will associate his name and surname for “fallacious and manipulated versions.” He says that this explicit recognition of his honor allows him to “continue advancing” in his life and power, finally, “breathing without anguish”, realizing his delicate situation.
“Few can imagine the pain that this type of digital violence and the wound can cause, which is supposed to have no place in a democracy like ours; however, it happens,” he warns in a reflection on the “lynching” he has suffered. Arenillas expresses their “absolute support to all women victims of sexist violence” and reiterates their commitment and the fight against machismo and patriarchy, in addition to reaffirming their “confidence” in political organizations.
The war between the direction of the party and Arenillas broke out after the resignation of Errejón, which resigned after some complaints of networks about episodes of sexual violence were made public. “Regarding the denunciation of the aggression in Castellón and the intervention of deputy Loreto Arenillas, we value that the explanations that gave then correspond to the reality we have known during the last days and hours,” read the text of the formation on October 25. “Given this circumstance, we have demanded the resignation of the deputy,” it was added. “Before his refusal,” also the rejection of leaving the act; “We announced the cessation of all its responsibilities and charges in the party,” said the letter.
The tone of the letter published Wednesday by Ortega is radically different. “We want to value your career, your commitment, effort and your unwavering commitment to feminism. Your dedication has been fundamental to our organization in these years of shared political work and we wish you much luck along the way,” he grants.
“We understand that both you and Madrid accept the provisions of the guarantee committee in its integrity and literalness, relating to your belonging to the regional table of more Madrid; as well as the ethical reproach to the decision to publish the agreement of the cessation immediately after its adoption, given its unique media relevance and the irreversible personal damage,” he also acknowledges
Arenillas concludes his letter, accounting for the negative effect that the entire episode has had in his life. “After being broken in a thousand pieces, after the opinion of guarantees and the address letter as repair elements, I need to stop and follow the way to heal and recompose. I will never be the same again, although my militancy, my principles and my values are intact,” he says goodbye.
