Honestly its rude to be invited by a country to meet their president who decided to respond to your criticisms of their administration only to not show up and go meet the opposition.
Being invided and then no showing shows complete disregard to basic diplomatic Etiquette since it was a mission to show solidarity against the embargo
Bonus socdems being cringe part 4.5: about another member that didnt show up to the presidential meeting

Deeply unserious people
The Powers instance was an established romantic relationship - not something that came as a result of an organizational power structure. We clearly and strongly oppose any instances of abuse, have structures in place to report, investigate and punish it, and have a clear political explanation of why a serious revolutionary organization must aggressively oppose abusive, exploitative, and chauvinistic behavior within its membership. We also do our best to identify these behaviors during our month-long onboarding process, though of course people can hide that stuff. I would again need an example of what the structural issues are in order to suggest a solution.
I don't deny that the case was badly mishandled; that is the position of the party. I believe those issues have been corrected and we have a very strong feminist line.
it is pretty common for people in orgs to get involved, it is something that should be planned for
it seems like in this case the abuser was using people as accomplices, otherwise the response from the local org wouldn't have been what it was.
How?
Genuinely what would you suggest?
Yes; there was no mechanism to go around local leadership. Now there is.
Explain the policy, talk a great deal about comradely behavior and expectations of conduct, and do our best to get their vibe. If that's not sufficient I would again ask for a concrete suggestion.
How much political education goes into learning about how abuse culture perpetuates itself in activist subcultures?
That's kinda beside the point, that only helps if the victim is actually reporting
I'd need to know more detail on how this is done.
