Rosa Montero’s column: It’s over | EL PAÍS Weekly

The Greek gods condemned that, upon reaching the top, it would fall back to the base. Sometimes, like now, I have the feeling that Sisyphus’s stone is a small thing compared to the leaden burden of feral males that we women endure. For too long we have pushed a lot of machirulos towards civility along the uphill slope of history and, when we believe that sexism is beginning to dilute, zasca, the harsh reality throws us into the abyss to start again.

Do women, and white-hearted men, and the entire country, in short, really deserve that even against us? Let’s see, without a doubt a madman can appear anywhere, but the real problem is not that, but what the system does with him. Now the internal complaints by , a heavyweight of the PSOE, and another complaint, before the Prosecutor’s Office, by a socialist councilor from Torremolinos against Antonio Navarro, the general secretary of the PSOE in that city, have coincided. The first presented their cases to the party in July; In the following five months, the Anti-Harassment Office made no progress in the processing and did not even speak with them. But Torremolinos is even worse. The councilor reported the abuse to the party in June, explaining that she had endured atrocious behavior for four years. in which they collected some of the many wasaps sent by Navarro: “You are very hot”, “I know how to take away your headache”, “Someday I will catch you and leave you new”. One day he sent her 51 messages between 7:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m., and started again at 8:00 a.m. the next day. He stood guard in front of the woman’s door to see her; One of those nights he wrote to her at 10:06 p.m.: “You’ll have to throw out the trash, right?” The councilor denounced all this and much more to the party, explaining that she felt “seriously intimidated” in a “humiliating, degrading, hostile and unbearable psychological pressure” environment. And what did the PSOE do? The Anti-Harassment Office opened a commission and spoke electronically with both parties (with her on July 15). And nothing more was known. Meanwhile, the councilor had to continue living that nightmare, increasingly afraid, taking pills, missing plenary sessions so as not to find him. In October, distraught, she insisted on the match. No result. Feeling in danger, on November 10 he filed a complaint with the Malaga Prosecutor’s Office, and initiated a disciplinary file. A shame.

I mean the obstruction seems structural; than the neglect of women. I imagine those who had to take measures in the PSOE feeling very uncomfortable and saying: joethe one from Torremolinos has gone a little overboard, but we are not going to destroy the poor man’s career for this nonsense, totally, for telling him that it is good. But the career and life of the councilor are being destroyed, until they force her to come, in desperation, to that very violent act against herself, which is to go to the Prosecutor’s Office, because that confronts her with the PSOE and makes her visible as a victim.

And the paralysis in the internal response is not the worst. Because it shouldn’t have to come to complaints. Apparently, in addition to making brutal comments and sending wasaps indecent Didn’t anyone see this behavior? Could they perhaps ignore Navarro’s gross abuses in Torremolinos? Of course it was, it was known (that’s what the women of the PSOE say, who have become angry), and it was even protected, as the dismissal of Hernández seems to indicate, the number two by Salazar (perhaps more will fall: I write this text 15 days before it is published). It’s even hard to believe that. By the way: all these hunks harass recklessly for smokeand why? Well because they feel powerful. And it’s true. They are. Now, it’s over. We will no longer accept this impunity. We will crush the next slut’s parts with Sisyphus’s rock.
