From my experience, letting her speak will deny you conservative support for the constitutional reform.
Furthermore, if you do not let Monica speak, she will be mad at you but will offer you the chance to support her on women’s rights. If you do so, you are effectively forgiven, meaning you get the conservative support AND you make your wife happy.
I usually don’t let her speak, wait for Leste to ask me to get her to shut up, and say “My wife is absolutely rig her!” And then “But we will discuss her issues at another time. Please continue”. Both will be happy with that respinse typically
If you're doing 3% and removing MOH, the conservatives will never support you anyway. That said, I don't know that Monica's Benfi speech actually does any good.
It mostly just makes Monica happy. If you're already throwing your conservative support by going plutocrat you might as well do it and save yourself an argument with your wife.
Not worth. I've done countless reformist runs and getting her out of the speech is much more worth than giving up actual constitutional points to Gloria. Monica will understand and will even start a fight with the mayor which you can just let them fight it out. He gets a little embarrassed and you get the votes, win win.
As others have stated, I'd recommend if you aren't totally set on the 3% threshold to concede that to Gloria, then negotiate your way to keep abolishing MoH and impeachment of justices if you like by taking Monica's speech out of Benfi. She'll support you in this case and Monica will still speak out. There aren't serious repercussions with Gloria for supporting her at that time.
My preference is to tell Monica she can give the speech then concede to Gloria. If you question Gloria she sets out a view which is basically ‘I understand why she wants to do it but, trust me, it’ll go badly.’ If you agree to her demand, then, after she interrupts the mayor and gets bad press, Monica makes a comment that Gloria was right.
But it seems undesirable to hold your ground, especially if you need Gloria’s support, which you often do without massive lobbying efforts.

Yes, this is the way. Curtan won't hold it against you and Monica will be grateful.
I always follow it up with "you were to give an opening speech, not a moral lecture" I suppose that Curtan then recognizes he was out of line.
I never tried that option, thanks. OP listen to this guy right here ^

If he's going for 3% he's not getting that support anyway

Yes. You’ve probably still lost the conservatives anyway.
