Collado Villalba Women’s Councillor Resigns After Halting Feminist Monologue

The council pledged to reprogram the play following public backlash.

Overview

  • Noelia R. Díaz Vaca walked onstage during “Ser Mujer” and declared the performance over, a moment captured in attendee video.
  • The show, by Valencian company Xana Teatre, was part of the municipality’s International Women’s Day program.
  • Díaz Vaca apologized publicly the next day, and the Collado Villalba council confirmed she had tendered her resignation.
  • Opposition parties labeled the move censorship as clips spread widely on social networks.
  • Alcorcón offered municipal stages to actress Susana Pastor, and Collado Villalba said it will seek new dates for the monologue.
