A shark in the aquarium

The article addresses a political controversy involving Vicente Mompó, president of the Provincial Council of Valencia and candidate for PP leadership. The author suggests that doubts about his ability to lead a candidacy became clear this week. The minister and PSPV secretary general, Diana Morant, accused Mompó on social media of only caring about protecting his inner circle on the day of DANA, the meteorological catastrophe that affected Valencia. The author considers that Morant's imputation is based on a half-truth and is unfair, but that it falls within legitimate political criticism. What the author does not accept is Mompó's crude response, calling her "Zapatero's daughter" and "Sánchez's bootlicker," as well as referring to her only by her first name, without her surname. The article notes that this humiliating trick is used only when the target is a woman, never when the opponent is a man.
