The Government of Valencia dismisses the Undersecretary of Justice (Vox) upon learning that he was convicted of gender violence

VALENCIA, 14 Sep. (EUROPA PRESS) -

This Thursday, the Consell immediately dismissed the undersecretary of the Department of Justice, Luis Manuel Martín Domínguez (Vox), after the head of the department, Elisa Núñez, learned on the same day that he was convicted of gender violence in 2011, in a sentence reached by conformity.

This was announced by the spokesperson for the Consell and Minister of Finance, Economy and Public Administration, Ruth Merino, accompanied by the Minister of Justice, after an extraordinary meeting of the full Council of the Council held this afternoon and announced shortly before 5:00 p.m.

Merino has detailed that Elisa Núñez learned this Thursday morning that the undersecretary was convicted of gender violence, in a sentence of conformity. Núñez spoke "immediately" with the president of the Generalitat, Carlos Mazón, and the plenary session met this afternoon to discuss an issue that the Executive has described as "serious."

Merino has pointed out that "this is an absolute breach of trust" on the part of the minister, which is why she has been "immediately dismissed" and a new undersecretary will be appointed next week.

The Minister of Justice has refused to give more information about the sentence, considering it a "quite personal issue" and not wanting to "violate the right to privacy and respect all legislation on data protection."
