Two women accuse the mayor of the PP of Algeciras of sexual harassment
The publication of two testimonies of sexual harassment has again put the focus on the mayor of Algeciras and senator of the PP, José Ignacio Landaluce. The spokeswoman for Andalusia in the Andalusian Parliament, Immaculate Nieto, has requested her resignation and “rigorous” investigation to Juan Manuel Moreno's PP, accusing him of keeping silent before a persistent “runrun” in the street for months. Rocío Arrabal, spokesman for the local PSOE, has asked for the activation of the Municipal Harassment Protocol and has wondered if there are more cases. The PSOE Algecireño announced a month ago that he had taken the notary WhatsApp conversations that would give veracity to some screens published months ago, where supposed cases of harassment of Landaluce were recounted to three councilors of his party.
The two new testimonies, revealed on Tuesday by public, collect episodes of sexual violence allegedly committed by Landaluce. “I touched my chest,” “I took my hand and put it on its member,” “puts your hand as close to the ass you can,” said these women, whose identity is not revealed. His statements reveal a pattern of harassment by the Algecireño councilor. In addition, they say there are “many others” that do not speak for fear.
In October, Alvise Pérez published in his telegram channel various conversations between two councilors of the PP of Algeciras, in which they commented on alleged situations of harassment committed by Landaluce and suffered by them. The two then denied being victims of harassment. At that time, Alberto Núñez Feijoo was asked about the matter and said he did not put “his hands in the fire for anyone”, but the PP ended up giving folder when the two denied the facts.
Alise Pérez then erased those screenshots, but gave time to start running on mobile. So much so that on January 10 the local PSOE convened a press conference to tell that he had received new WhatsApp conversations from people in the PP orbit alluding to those screenshots, to which they gave all the veracity. The PSOE went to a notary with that material and this not only raised the act, but announced that it would take them to the prosecution, because what the alleged commission of crimes was read off.
He also announced that they would interpose a complaint, which has not yet been filed. “We are gathering all the data,” Arrabal assures this media, to which he places a press conference tomorrow. “It is very important that Landaluce appears, and we are surprised by the complicit silence of Moreno Bonilla. Here we have to purify responsibilities: how can the Andalusian PP be silent before something like that? ”
Landaluce, mayor since 2011, has not ruled. He is a senator and, therefore, is aggroid before the Supreme Court.
By Andalusia he asks Landaluce to resign
“The testimonies that we have met by women who could have been sexually abused by Landaluce are of such severity that they cannot be unpunished,” said Nieto, from Por Andalucía, who has asked for his resignation and an investigation “rigorous to the PP of Moreno Bonilla, who has not said or Pío on this matter, although there has been this runrun in the street for months, and the testimonies of supposedly knowledgeable people of all these excesses committed by this man abusing abusing from his man Power at the head of the mayor of Algeciras. ”
For its part, the local executive of the PSOE of Algeciras has urged the local corporation to “take measures” that “protect and safeguard the integrity of the victims” that have denounced these facts. “Given the severity of the published testimonies, the PSOE of Algeciras considers a priority to launch the corresponding harassment protocol, in order to guarantee a security environment and protect the possible victims within a safe frame supposed “modus operandi”, “says the PSOE, who asks” if there could have been more cases of alleged harass and abuse of power, both within the municipal institution and outside of it “, and even” alleged hiring for Buy silences and prevent these facts or others from similar to see the light. ”
