The deputy delegate of the Government in A Coruña, María Rivas, presided today a minute of silence in a sign of condemnation for the machista murders of two women, in Almería and Asturias.

The Delegation against Gender Violence confirmed the crimes, bringing the number of women killed by gender violence to 22 in 2025 and to 1,316 since 2003.
