  • Íñigo Errejón, spokesperson for Sumar in the Congress of Deputies, resigned from all his positions following accusations of sexual harassment.
  • Errejón has been a significant political figure on the left and his fall could have negative impacts on his party, the left in general and the PSOE-Sumar coalition government.
  • Beyond the personal drama for Errejón, this case could have a destructive effect on various political structures, particularly Sumar, which already finds itself in a delicate situation.
  • For the left in general and particularly for those represented in the Government, well known for their equalitarian policies, the Errejón case also has damaging effects.
  • The Errejón case adds a new complication to the tasks of the Government, who are still embroiled in negotiations to pass the budget.

Conclusion: The Errejón case shows that feminist convictions have definitively taken root in our society. However, it is necessary to fully clarify this case and repair the damages to the victims. It would also be pertinent to investigate whether the accusations that Errejón's aggressions were known and silenced by some of his colleagues are true.
