The former deputy of the Assembly of Madrid Carla Antonelli, the first transsexual to hold this position in Spain, has requested this Tuesday the withdrawal of membership from the PSOE as a protest against the "maneuver of extending deadlines" that, according to the also activist, the PSOE plans in the processing of the Trans Law in Congress with "the threat of more cuts" in the norm. "Today, he requested that my membership be processed in the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party, with enormous and deep pain, from a political formation for which he asked for the vote for 45 years, since that August 13, 1977 that appeared in the written press of the time and described me as a 'politicized transvestite', just two months after the first democratic elections, where since then I have militated in one way or another”, he says in a letter that he has also published on his Twitter account . Antonelli said that he makes this decision in the face of the "new maneuver of extending the terms of amendments until December with the threat of more cuts in the Law", which, in his opinion, takes it to next year "already immersed in the regional and municipal elections , which will be another of the possible arguments for new delays and in a sigh towards the end of the legislature”. “I exhort and call on the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, to put the Law back in its place, as it did at the time, to close the deadlines for amendments and continue its urgent process, by the word given and the commitment purchased," he says. "Because socialism, if it's not brave, it's not socialism," she adds. The spokesman for Podemos in Congress, Pablo Echenique, has advanced this Tuesday in the Lower House that they suspect that the PSOE intends to delay the approval of the norm with an amplification of the term of amendments.
