Noel Cánovas: "An open, egalitarian and solidary society like the one in Cartagena should not allow the homophobic and discriminatory attitude of a few"The secretary general of the Socialist Youth of Cartagena, Noel Cánovas, has roundly condemned the unfortunate events that occurred in a bar in Cartagena."Attitudes as reprehensible as those that Diego and his partner have had to experience are despicable and totally inadmissible," said Cánovas.The leader of the Socialist Youth in Cartagena has declared that “in an open, egalitarian and supportive society like that of Cartagena there is no room for homophobic attitudes.
In the XXI century, conducts that go against people's identity cannot be admissible ”.From the Socialist Youth of Cartagena we will continue working to make the LGTIB collective visible.
"All homophobic discrimination supposes an aggression towards us and for which we strongly condemn what happened to Diego and his partner."More than 3 years ago, the regulations for Law 8/2016 on social equality of lesbians, gays, bisexuals, transsexuals, transgender and intersex, and public policies against discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity, and the regional Executive still does not apply it in its entirety.“We demand that the regional government comply with Law 8/2016 in a decisive and forceful way.
Cases like the one suffered by Diego, should not go unnoticed and must be punished with the full weight of the law ”he remarked.From the Socialist Youth, a call is made to the entire Cartagena society to condemn this type of act "more typical of past times than of today's society," concluded Noel Cánovas
