Santa Cruz de La Palma councilman controversy

Overview

In Santa Cruz de La Palma, PSOE councilman Manuel Ángel Garrido sparked controversy during a municipal plenary session by making personal comments regarding councilwoman Saray González (PP) and her recent motherhood. Garrido suggested an “erótica del poder” (erotics of power), implying that the decision to have a child might be linked to political status, and argued that parents with newborns focus on their children rather than the City Council.

Following the backlash to these remarks, Garrido resigned from his position on the Santa Cruz de La Palma City Council. The local PSOE group announced the resignation, stating they “fully” shared his decision.
