A Madrid judge summons Errejón to a conciliation act with the man who denounced him for a kick

The complainant wants the leader to withdraw the accusation of false denunciation and the description of "extreme right-wing energúmeno"

MADRID, 21 Dic. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Court of First Instance Number 1 of Madrid has summoned the leader of Más País, Íñigo Errejón, on March 7, 2023 to a conciliation act with the resident of the Madrid neighborhood of Lavapiés who assured that the leader kicked him in the head. night of May 2, 2021.

In a decree of this Tuesday, to which Europa Press has had access, the Court sets the appearance from 09:30 and recalls that the man who denounced Errejón has the obligation to appear. The leader, on the other hand, is not obliged to resort to conciliation. The act is a prerequisite for the resident of Lavapiés to file a complaint for an alleged crime of slander and insults against the leader of Más País.

The neighbor filed a conciliation lawsuit in the Madrid Courts last October for alleged crimes of slander and insults, considering that Errejón violated his honor by accusing him in various interventions in the media of making a false complaint and qualifying him, in the plaintiff's words, "extreme right-wing nerd".

In his letter, the complainant recounts that these demonstrations by Errejón occurred after the Provincial Court of Madrid confirmed last September the sentence handed down by the Investigating Court Number 16 of Madrid that acquitted the leader of the minor crime of mistreatment of which he was accused for not being "accredited that he gave a kick."

The Madrid court, specifically, indicated that "the evidence carried out" had not "shown how the events occurred, if they were as" the complainant indicated or if they were as the defendant indicated. "Only the request for the photo by the complainant, the refusal of the defendant and the subsequent discussion between them is proven," he stressed at the time.

"By imputing Mr. Errejón a crime prosecutable ex officio to my client, who was the complainant at the time, and by also describing him as an extreme right-wing madman, he is seriously attacking his honor and his own image and even more so when the complete affiliation and image of my client has been published on numerous occasions in different media," he says.

What the neighbor now wants is, as he requests in his letter, that Errejón "agree to recognize" those words, that he assume that "the criminal acts" that he is accused of are uncertain and that he withdraw the qualification of "extreme right-wing energúmeno" . He also requests compensation of 25,000 euros "for the damage suffered" with this conduct.

The complainant also requests that the leader of Más País immediately publish a rectification with an express acknowledgment "of the uncertainty of the alleged facts." Finally, he explains that, in the event that Errejón does not recognize and accept these extremes, he will file a complaint against him "for crimes of slander and libel."
