PSOE Secretary General Pedro Sánchez will meet this Friday with the party's top feminist leaders to propose new equality measures, including the imposition of internal sanctions on those who consume prostitution. The meeting will take place at the party's headquarters in Ferraz in the context of the corruption case affecting former Minister José Luis Ábalos, his collaborator Koldo García and the hitherto Secretary of Organization, Santos Cerdán.

The meeting, convened by the PSOE Secretary for Equality, Pilar Bernabé, will be attended by the Secretaries for Equality of the Autonomous Federations, regional spokespersons, party chairman Cristina Narbona and Deputy Secretary-General María Jesús Montero, who will begin at 4.30 p.m. and discuss the proposals that will be presented to the Federal Committee the following day.

The impetus for these measures comes after Ábalos and Koldo broadcast audios of macho conversations that have provoked "outrage" and "rejection" in the socialist leadership, facts that Pedro Sánchez has described as "absolutely incompatible" with the feminist values of the PSOE.

In addition, the Spanish Government, through the Minister for Equality, Ana Redondo, has announced that in September it will present the draft law on the abolition of prostitution , thus resuming an initiative that remained pending in the previous legislature.
