Pontevedra, October 8, 2024.- The subdelegate of the Government in Pontevedra, Abel Losada, warned today about the double victimization suffered by immigrant women and invited to reflect “on what would have posed if the machista murder of Fadoua Akkar were committed by a Moroccan citizen with a history of gender violence and the woman killed was a Spanish citizen.” “What would be the reaction of society and some political forces,’” the deputy delegate asked, stating that “I am sure that they would put the curto-pracism of the discussion on immigration before the fundamental fact that is to try to eradicate among all that women are murdered because of the fact of seal.”
Losada presided today in Pontevedra the act of condemnation for the male crime of Moaña, which also served to transfer the support of the Government of Spain to all women suffering from gender violence. The mayor, #Miguel Anxo Fernández Lores, members of the government and of the Municipal Corporation of Pontevedra, workers of the Subdelegation, among them the head of the Unit of violence against women, María José Rodríguez, and the general secretary of the Subdelegation, María Isabel Alonso de Linaje, also participated. Members of the State Security Forces and Armed Forces also attended, including the lieutenant colonel of the Pontevedra Civil Guard, Óscar Grañas, and the provincial commissioner of the National Police Force, Juan José Díaz.
Abel Losada stressed that “a single victim of male violence constitutes a public failure and a failure as a society.” Thus, he stressed that “this struggle has to go beyond speeches, it needs budgets and BOE.” “The Government of Spain initiated this line of action in this country and we are not going to take any step backwards to eradicate violence against women,” he concluded.
