Irene Montero, to Jordi Wild: "What value do you have in the life of a woman to say that 44 murders are not that many?"

The Podemos candidate for the general elections of 29N, Irene Montero, has denounced this Saturday in Gran Canaria "the very serious words" of the YouTuber Jordi Wild in his interview with the Frente Amplio candidate, Ada Colau, about sexist murders in which he referred to the fact that 44 murdered women "are not that many" compared to the current population: "They don't kill us enough... right, Jordi Wild?"

"What value do you have to give to a woman's life to say that you don't think 44 murdered women are that much? There are more than 1,300 women murdered at the hands of their officially recognized partners or ex-partners since 2003," Montero continued, adding that it is ugly that the YouTuber makes these statements when he has such a "big speaker and so many millions of people who watch and follow him" daily.

Irene Montero participates this Saturday in a campaign event of the 'Unidad del Pueblo Canario' coalition, made up of Podemos Canarias, Nueva Canarias, Izquierda Unida Canaria and Sumar Canarias, and which takes place in the Plaza del Pilar in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.

In her speech, Montero also reminded Jordi Wild that the problem is "precisely that all women live knowing that (one of those female victims) could be any of us", even knowing that "one in two women, at least in Spain, is a victim of some type of sexist violence throughout their lives", whether "at work, at home, in places that should be safer".

"We live knowing that we can be more, and not only more murdered, but also more women controlled, insulted, humiliated, as well as more boys and girls who grow up in houses where their mothers are insulted, where their mothers are beaten, where their mothers are questioned for wanting to be free. We are very aware that we could be more," she noted.

He has argued that, while all this is happening, Jordi Wild "can allow himself to trivialize violence", precisely "for the same reason that sexist aggressors murder us and rape us and insult us and humiliate us", and that is because "they believe that we are beings of their property, that we are inferior beings, that we do not have the same right to live our lives, to be free."

"That dignity and our person is not worth the same as them, and there is an entire society that makes invisible, that normalizes, that looks the other way and that says, it's not a big deal, as Jordi Wild said the other day. That's why, because so many men with power like Jordi Wild, with a microphone and a loudspeaker, minimize sexist violence, that violence continues to exist, that thought that says it's not a big deal continues to exist."

"I can kill you, I can insult you, I can humiliate you, because it is not a big deal, because your life is not worth that much," Montero continued, because "men with power, like Jordi Wild, minimize sexist violence."
