The VOX Parliamentary Group in Aragon will respond, with a public gesture to the Cortes, to any crime of domestic violence that occurs in the Autonomous Community. In this way, the Parliamentary Group will show its firm commitment to combat all manifestations of violence.

Tomorrow, Tuesday, February 18, at 12:30 pm, the gesture of the minute of silence will take place, in front of the Cortes, after confirmation of the violent death of Geovanny Valencia, 25, in the Altoaragonese town of Broto.

Reasons for a gesture

“In VOX we condemn violence wherever it comes from, and all the victims seem equally unfortunate. That is why we advocate a Law on Domestic Violence that extends special protection to any aggression committed within the family nucleus. We want to ensure the protection of all, equality and the presumption of innocence, ”said David Arranz.

The concept of "sexist violence", such as "gender violence", has been used to criminalize the male by making him a suspect of being an abuser and a violent man. And this situation causes confrontation, as well as a gap between men and women. It also aims to destroy the family nucleus, base of our nation and of all civilized society.

In VOX we believe that the law against gender violence is contrary to article 14 of the Constitution: “Spaniards are equal before the law, without any discrimination based on birth, race, sex, religion, opinion or any other prevailing personal or social condition or circumstance ”.

The VOX spokesman in Aragon has communicated this initiative to the other spokespersons of the parliamentary groups, and has indicated that, in case of any crime of domestic violence that occurs in the community, they will be informed of the realization of the gesture, in case they would like Participate in it.

This gesture will consist of keeping a minute of silence, in front of the Cortes, around 12.00 noon after the news of the crime.

On the occasion of the violent death of Geovanny Valencia, 25, in the high town of Broto, the VOX Parliamentary Group in Aragon has communicated, to the rest of the groups in the Cortes, the celebration of the gesture tomorrow at 12.30 pm to the Aragonese parliament.
