      <description><![CDATA[<p><img src="https://static1.ara.cat/clip/fff4f837-ef32-48c0-9553-42692a9943af_16-9-aspect-ratio_default_0_x147y194.jpg" /></p><p>This year's launch of the txupinazo has had a new claim to give a more prominent focus to Sanfermines. It has been <a href="https://en.ara.cat/society/ten-years-of-the-manada-case-the-rape-that-turned-the-penal-code-upside-down_1_5790381.html">ten years since the group rape</a> of an 18-year-old girl by five individuals who called themselves La Manada. The media used the name to label the case. The trial, with the first sentence in April 2018, marked a turning point in the legislation of sexual offenses in Spain. The citizen reaction to the initial classification of the facts as "sexual abuse" contributed to a legislative reform in 2022 with the law of <em>only yes is yes</em>, based on the principle of explicit consent.On <em>Antena 3 noticias</em> they noted the anniversary to wonder if anything had changed in how this festival was celebrated. The premise already says very little about the customs associated with San Fermines. Until the 2016 rape scandal, sexism and abuse against women were even normalized on television. Most programs sent young female reporters, knowing that part of the spectacle consisted of seeing how they were harassed by a crowd that was over the top and drunk. Images of topless women being groped by the crowd were also a typical postcard of the time. And they had been normalized as if they were unavoidable terrible cases of macho violence, such as the murder of Nagore Laffage in Pamplona on July 7, 2008. This week's news spoke of purple points to report and statements in a street survey in which some people recalled the importance of the precaution of going accompanied. An evident symptom that responsibility continues to fall on women and that there has been no social change in the macho behavior of certain individuals nor in the dangers associated with nightlife.The media reality regarding San Fermín, however, has not changed much. We saw it the same day on the reactionary and sensationalist program <em>En boca de todos</em>, on Cuatro. The presenter, Nacho Abad (who at the time had the nerve to ask on social media if the La Manada case had been a rape or consensual sex), sent a reporter to the epicenter of the festival to mingle with the crowd in the square. During the first connection, there was already a drunk individual approaching her, with an attitude that showed that the tradition of harassing journalists in that context has not been lost. Abad, with some useless grimaces, reprimanded the individual “<em>for bothering a woman</em>”, and took advantage of the conflict to present himself as a moral crusader and go viral on social media. They also dedicated themselves to counting banners that called for the return of ETA prisoners.In <em>Espejo público</em> these ten years served to attack the socialist government and the <em>only yes means yes</em> law. A commentator on Griso's show stated: “<em>I believe that La Manada inaugurated mainstream feminism</em>, this feminism made of memes, of empty slogans, which I believe is on the decline<em>”.</em> La Manada and feminism as accomplices is what was missing to hear. A decade later, a heinous rape is used as a pretext to go backward instead of progressing.</p>]]></description>
