The PSOE admits not having "adequately protected" the women who denounced Salazar
Two party militants who worked with former Moncloa adviser Paco Salazar reported being harassed, according to socialist sources, by activating protocols.
The PSOE acknowledged on Friday that the party's communication with the whistleblowers of socialist leader and former Moncloa adviser Paco Salazar "has not been done in the best way" and needs to be improved.
In an information note sent to the party's regional federations, the PSOE regrets that the two militants who worked with Salazar in La Moncloa and who left their testimonies in the party's internal chain in July were not "adequately supported."
"It pains us that it has happened," they stress from Ferraz, and their commitment is "to continue to improve in the fight against harassment of women and in the development of equality policies."
In the document, which the PSOE has sent to the Secretaries of Organization of the regional federations and members of the Federal Directorate, the Socialists explain that the Anti-Harassment Body is "studying and verifying" the complaints against Salazar "within the time limit" provided for in the protocol adopted by the party in May.
The conclusions shall be contained in a report, including a proposal for measures to be taken by the parties, and shall be forwarded to the parties and the Secretariat of the Organization.
The accusations against Salazar came to light as a result of a publication by Eldiario.es, which coincided with the Federal Socialist Committee in which, following the scandal of former Secretary of Organization Santos Cerdán, the party's leadership would be renewed and Salazar would have a prominent position. However, when the accusations became known, the party decided to withdraw from its positions and responsibilities.
Two days later, Ferraz has detailed, the party activated a specific channel "that has been developing since May" so that the internal harassment body could receive complaints, also anonymously, as happened with the allegations of these two women.
However, they acknowledge that the communication with the plaintiffs was not correct, but point out that the allegations were not deleted from the internal channel, but, after 90 days of registration, the system itself "hides them in order to increase the guarantees of data protection".
