The Sectorial Women, Feminism and Equality of Change Murcia today criticized the approach chosen by the Councilor for Social Rights, Concepción Ruiz, for the Plural Feminine route to be held on Saturday, and that will focus "on women's role within of traditional festivals such as the Feria de Murcia, giving prominence to these women from areas as diverse as bullfighting or the camaraderie of the Virgin.

According to this group, the topics chosen by Ruiz for the route, both in this edition and in previous ones, reflect the vision that the PP has about women and feminism by always linking the role of the latter to "secondary tasks that perpetuate the role that patriarchy has always been granted to women ", which means that the initiative, far from honoring its name," is anything but plural and open to the participation of women in the public sphere ".

As a sign of the "disinterest" of the local government to work respecting a gender vision in its policies, the councilor of municipal training, Margarita Guerrero, recalled the absence of women in the exhibition "Murcia: a generation of sculptors" promoted by the City Hall, which only exhibited works of male artists, or the proclamation of the Fair of Murcia this year, for which only musicians were counted.

To this, has added the fact that the Consistory has decided not to open the participation of volunteers of groups and feminist associations in the violet points for these holidays, limiting this work to the volunteer of Red Cross and Civil Protection.

"It is a sample rather than evidence that the PP confuses institutional management with its ideological and partisan function," said Lola Poveda, member of the group of Women of Cambiemos Murcia.

The training, which considers that the Plural Feminine tours could be very enriching if they were done from a real gender perspective, has also denounced the "repeated breach" of the II Municipal Equality Plan, recently approved by the Plenary Session of the Murcia City Council, symptom of the lack of violet glasses in the management of the Ballesta team.
