On Tuesday afternoon, the bench of deputies of the Communist Party (PC) will request the application of the gender protocol with the intention of bringing to the Ethics Commission to Deputy Pedro Velásquez (INDIANA).
The above because the bloc accused that the legislator verbally assaulted Deputy Marisela Santibáñez in the corridors of Congress in front of witnesses.
“It should be noted that this it’s not the first time that Velásquez is denounced for misogynistic and violent behavior ”, they indicated through a press release.
“We have become aware of this verbal aggression with a connotation of gender violence (against) comrade Marisela Santibáñez. Obviously, as a bench we absolutely support it, count on us ”, said Camila Vallejo, president of the Chamber’s Commission for Women and Gender Equality.
As he explained, the request to activate the protocol in question was by way of “Set an example” that they will not allow gender violence within the Corporation when it is also “carried out by parliamentarians who outside the walls of this Congress have also had this type of violent attitudes and we have seen it from this particular parliamentarian,” he added.
“(Take it to the Ethics Commission) It is a decision made. It is not enough just to support the partner, but to take action on the matter. We hope that the rest of the benches and the commission’s parliamentarians will support us in this regard, ”Vallejo said.
What happened?
The encounter happened after the fall with opposition abstentions from the motion of censure who sought to take the presidency of the table from deputy Diego Paulsen (RN).
“It is not a situation of which one can be proud. I know there are more important things for Chileans, but these situations have to be eradicated from this place, ”Santibáñez started, consulted by the press.
As he commented, everything was generated because he did not participate in the vote It took months of preparation and organization for the opposition, an effort that came to nothing.
There were scribbles. ‘You are a spicy of so much, so much, so much’. You can imagine the rest of the sentence. Heard ‘you suck’. He was angry, anguished … not to say another word, “he said.
“(This) does not merit their scribbles, their screams. Of course there are witnesses. There are much more important things, but for the women of my country, for the workers of this Congress and my colleagues from the party, I am not going to let it pass, ”he remarked.
