Last Saturday, Sumar declared that they were unaware of the accusations of macho behaviors and assaults against Íñigo Errejón until last Tuesday. They announced the implementation of mechanisms to address the problem. At a press conference, Sumar pointed to Más Madrid, accusing them of not informing the leadership when they learned of the first testimony from a victim about a year and a half ago. They contacted Podemos and Más Madrid, who informed them about opening an investigation and then closing it because the victim deleted the tweet where she described the events.
Regarding the mental health issues mentioned by Errejón in his letter, Minister Díaz stated she knew he was seeking help in therapy. She expressed regrets for not acting in time. Díaz described a difficult conversation with Errejón, who acknowledged having had macho and degrading attitudes towards women. The party denied knowing about the former deputy's attitudes and admitted to downplaying the initial complaint.
Minister Yolanda Díaz referred to the Errejón case in Congress, following his resignation amid harassment accusations and a complaint for sexual assault. Errejón had accepted the facts and published a letter unilaterally. Díaz did not share his version and considered that Errejón should never have been a deputy or a leader. She admitted to being informed of the complaint against him in 2023 and demanded he resign from his organizational positions.
