Harsh accusations in the SER against the Prosecutor’s Office of Enrique Santiago, General Secretary of the Communist Party, owner of the house in Asturias in which the Vice President of the Government, Pablo Iglesias, and Minister Irene Montero were going to spend a few days with their children and that they had to leave after social media users shared their location and politicians received insults and pressure.

The also deputy of United We Can assures in the SER Network that they are “dozens” of complaints that have been filed in court and that one would have to act ex officio: “You cannot be denouncing all day, it is the vice president of Spain and a minister, who have official protection; a constant crime of harassment, violence, threats is being committed … that are being pursued ex officio and the Prosecutor’s Office should do something. The Prosecutor’s Office does nothing. ”

Insults and threatening graffiti

After knowing the residence of Iglesias and Montero on these days off, various insults have been produced in networks and even a graffiti on a road in the town that it said ‘Rat Pigtails’. A restaurant they went to both politicians, Maria househas also suffered “certain offensive comments made” related to the stay of “a politician and his family.” “Our” house “is totally disconnected from any ideological inclination, respect and education being the only thing that prevails among us,” the establishment highlighted in a message on its Facebook page. The Mayor of Lena, Gema Álvarez (IU), has lamented “the bad image that the council has generated by the ultra-right protests against the vice president and the Minister of Equality who tried to spend a few days off in Lena.” “I believe that all politicians, whatever their sign, have the right to enjoy their private life,” she has settled in a comment on Facebook.

The Prosecutor will not act ex officio

The Prosecutor’s Office is not responsible for investigating the harassment of Pablo Iglesias and Irene Montero ex officio because for that State security forces carry out escort work; They can draw up a statement, a report or a complaint detailing the circumstances of what happened, as specified by the Cadena SER tax sources.

In the case of Iglesias and Montero, the two members of the Government have a double escort provided by the Ministry of the Interior that can give an account of the facts. The report, if it is written, must then go to the hands of a judge and that he can seek the opinion of the Prosecutor’s Office to study if there is any indication of a crime. According to sources from the public institution, it is the Police who can act ex officio and even those affected themselves can file a complaint, since when dealing with crimes against privacy or self-image, even threats, the victim needs to report.

They remember, for example, that when the magistrate Pablo Llarena, who instructed the case on the Procés, suffered several violent escraches at his home in Barcelona for which he was forced to sell the property, it was his bodyguards who denounced the events by means of a statement that was presented to the court.
