Sexist Remark by Vox Deputy in Extremadura Assembly Sparks Outrage

Extremadura Assembly erupts as Vox deputy's sexist remark sparks outrage. The session of the Extremadura Assembly took an unexpected turn on Thursday when Vox deputy Juan José García made a controversial statement about the government's plan to use 300 million euros to pay off debt. García argued against this decision, claiming that the funds should be invested in areas that "really produce wealth." His statement, however, was overshadowed by his condescending remark: "Even a woman of letters understands this." This comment immediately sparked outrage among other members of the assembly and on social media. The incident highlights the ongoing debate about gender equality in Spanish politics and the use of sexist language in public discourse. One assembly member commented, "His words are unacceptable and demonstrate a lack of respect for women and their intelligence." The video of García's speech has gone viral, underscoring the sensitivity surrounding gender issues in the political arena. The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of respectful and inclusive language in political debate.
