PSOE Faces Feminist Backlash in Andalusia Over Harassment Handling

Ferraz’s slow, opaque handling of complaints has become the focus of growing internal pressure.

Overview

  • The Equality Secretariat of PSOE Málaga rallied support with a manifesto that has drawn roughly 300 signatures under the slogan “Ni una mujer sola, ni una agresión sin respuesta.”
  • Socialist mayors in Córdoba publicly endorsed the Málaga initiative, urging rapid, independent application of internal protocols and full protection for complainants.
  • FeMeS condemned conduct linked to Antonio Navarro, Francisco Salazar, José Luis Ábalos and Koldo García, criticizing a five‑month silence on two Moncloa workers’ reports.
  • Ferraz issued a note apologizing and explaining why testimonies were deleted from its system, which FeMeS said underscored inaction and neglect toward victims.
  • Antonio Navarro was suspended from party membership after a Torremolinos councillor filed a sexual‑harassment complaint, while Pedro Sánchez acknowledged the party must improve prevention and case management.
