The Minister of Territorial Policy and spokeswoman for the Government, Isabel Rodríguez, has closed the First Meeting of Mayors, and has defended democracy, which allows women all their conquests: “Democracy and feminism brought us equality, so more equality and more feminism will bring us a better democracy.”
The First Meeting of Mayors is a forum held in A Coruña to reflect on the presence of women in positions of responsibility at the local level. The debate has also focused on the challenges ahead of them, since they represent only 22 percent of the first Spanish councillors today.
