The Popular Party (PP) in Spain, led by Alberto Núñez Feijóo, has been criticized for its approach to sexual harassment allegations, which seem to focus solely on the Socialist Party (PSOE) while ignoring similar issues within the PP. This perspective was voiced by Ester Muñoz during a parliamentary session, where she suggested that machismo and sexual harassment are only structural problems in the PSOE. This statement comes in the wake of a scandal involving Paco Salazar, a close advisor to Pedro Sánchez, which appeared to highlight the selective nature of the PP's outrage regarding harassment allegations.

As the controversy unfolded, PP officials proceeded to question government ministers about various issues in the Congress session, indicating a continued effort to shift focus away from internal problems within their party. This tactic suggests a broader strategy to undermine the PSOE while presenting a false façade of concern about harassment. Critics argue that such behavior reflects a lack of accountability and a reluctance to confront harassment issues within their own ranks, highlighting a potential double standard in the treatment of such serious allegations.

The implications of this political maneuvering are significant, as it raises questions about the sincerity of the PP's commitment to combating sexual harassment in all sectors and exposes the party's attempts to use the issue as a political weapon against opponents. In a society where sexual harassment remains a pervasive issue, the dissonance between rhetoric and action from major political parties may contribute to public skepticism about their intentions and effectiveness in addressing these crucial societal problems.
