During yesterday's **campaign rally in Zaragoza**, Vox leader Santiago Abascal **harshly criticized the PSOE** and directly questioned **Pilar Alegría's** candidacy, describing her as an "objectified woman." These statements have drawn strong condemnation from the **Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez**, who called them "**machismo**" and a representation of far-right hatred.

My full support to @Pilar_Alegria.

Against the machismo and hatred of the far-right, more equality, more respect, and more democracy.

Spain is much better than their insults.https://t.co/B5AO16zQ4C
