This Wednesday, March 8, Ana Rosa Quintana and their collaborators wore purple on the occasion of International Women’s Day. It is a momentous date when the presenter had the opportunity to share her personal view of the split in the feminist movement due to tensions over the trans law or the ‘yes is yes only’ law, as she put it in her editorial.
“March 8, 2018. Millions of feminists of all ideologies and circumstances spontaneously took to the streets, this is not the first time this program has been aired. If we women stopped, it needed to be noticed. The banners were held by ordinary women, not by professional politicians,” the presenter began.
Ana Rosa was quick to focus Irene Monterowho consistently darts hard on his schedule: “Five years later the Ministry of Equality is trying to bury classical feminism”. “In 1910, Women of the Socialist International proposed March 8 to commemorate women’s struggle. Now, one section of feminism calls the other fascist because it changes a law that benefits rapists.” Yes’.
On the other hand, he also touched upon the discussions on the approval of the reform of the said law: “We had it yesterday. It’s a shameful day when women in Congress insult women. Clara Campoamor’s speech during the approval of the women’s vote on October 1, 1931 is remembered. The PSOE, the right and some of the nationalists voted in favour.
“Today we will see demonstrations in two opposing positions on the street,” continued Ana Rosa. Ione Belarra and Irene Montero’s “blue row” image is “a progress”. “Even though an industry pioneer tries to erase it with their struggles, we have the same rights as our grandmothers, mothers, us, our daughters and grandchildren. We will not erase them from history.”
