Galicia Social Policy Chief Denounces 'Sexist Vendetta' by CIG Protesters

She cites months of disruptive CIG protests following a February cartoon she called sexist.

Overview

  • Speaking at a business event in Vigo on Oct. 21, Fabiola García said she has faced months of harassment from CIG members and labeled it a sexist vendetta.
  • She detailed repeated confrontations at official visits and ceremonies, saying megaphones and sirens disrupted the Oct. 5 Medallas Pardo Bazán event.
  • García tied the campaign to a February CIG cartoon portraying her, which she condemned as sexist and asked to be withdrawn, noting no apology has been offered.
  • She called on BNG leader Ana Pontón to condemn the conduct and affirmed she will continue her work despite attempts to intimidate her.
  • The CIG has maintained the cartoon targeted García personally rather than women in general, as protests highlight staffing and home-help service grievances.
