The electro-pop anthem Zorra has come under fire because its title, which means vixen, is more often used to mean "bitch" or "slut" in Spanish slang.

The song "insults women in a sexist way", said the Feminist Movement of Madrid in a statement.

But Mr Sánchez dismissed the criticism, saying the song challenged sexist stereotypes.

"It seems to me that feminism is not only fair, it can be fun, and this type of provocation must come from culture," he told the Al Rojo Vivo programme on La Sexta television.
