The 8M will not silence us
If in Madrid you belong to an ultra-right group, you can manifest, if you belong to a feminist collective, You can not do it. They give the most reactionary a free hand, those who claim for our rights impose prohibitions on us.
It is not a chronicle of the fourteenth century, but the story of a current reality since the Government Delegation prohibited the concentrations and demonstrations communicated for the 7 Y 8 of March, in the Community of Madrid.
When the "PSOE-United We Can Progressive Coalition" took office at the end of April 2019, First Vice President Carmen Calvo celebrated the victory with a feminist t-shirt. Y, in two years of management, officials repeatedly boasted of being fervent feminists. Nevertheless, it's just a posture, because they have not taken any measures to qualitatively change the situation of women.
The argumentation based on what they do "To avoid contagion of Covid-19" expresses total cynicism. The day of the date, the Community of Madrid has its limits open, the same happens with bars and other activities.
The management of Pedro Sánchez and Pablo Iglesias continues to accumulate "merits" to go down in history as "the most progressive government in history" that endorses the most reactionary measures: the imprisonment of a singer for the simple act of expressing himself and the prohibition of demonstrating to women, in the capital of the Spanish state, on International Working Women's Day. Attacks on democratic rights stemming from the '78 regime continue to increase.
This happens despite the fact that even the UN recognized that the pandemic deepens gender inequality: "The crisis has highlighted both the critical importance of women's contributions and the disproportionate burdens they bear". At the by, Violence and pressure from the right has grown for retrograde measures on the right to abortion.
The Spanish and Madrid governments must not be allowed to silence women, why, how have they responded in Madrid "Feminism is essential". Years of strikes and mass mobilizations cannot be hidden under the rug. The fourth feminist wave also crosses the Spanish State and is not reversible, That is why we are determined to continue going out to defend our rights, when they make abortions difficult, when they rape us in droves, when justice acquits the abusers or when they murder one of our sisters.
Of course, we will take the necessary measures to avoid contagion, but there is no government, pandemic, no mask that makes us shut up. He 8 of March, International Working Women's Day we will be in the streets, fighting for our conquered rights, for which we need to conquer, to keep shouting #NiUnaMenos. The street was, is and will be the best place to get our rights.
