“We know this can happen.” This is how the leader of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feiojóo, explained this Tuesday the brief investigation opened in his party after the publication of some screenshots from WhatsApp which designate the senator and mayor of Algeciras (Cádiz), José Ignacio Landaluce, as the alleged attacker. . It was Feijóo himself who explained what happened in an interview on esRadio in which he said that after “a reference” to Landaluce “we automatically spoke to him and this matter was clarified”. elDiario.es tried to gather more information, but the PP leadership has not responded at this time.
“Any type of complaint about my party, we have to investigate if it happens,” Feijóo said on the Federico Jiménez Losantos show. “Yesterday there was a reference to one of our senators and we automatically spoke to him,” he emphasized in reference to a fleeting publication on the Telegram channel of Alvise Pérez, leader of Salf, where The MEP posted WhatsApp screenshots in which, apparently, two PP advisors reported behavior ranging from insults to sexual assault. The content was removed almost immediately.
But the information reached the PP, which opened an “investigation”, according to Feijóo. “They cannot accuse us of giving lessons on everything and not being an example of anything, we leave that to them,” said the PP leader.
“No one puts their hand in the fire for anyone,” he assured. “And for more than a year and a half, you have been concealing facts which lead not only to isolating this person but also to promoting him at the highest level as spokesperson for your group,” he concluded, in reference to Íñigo Errejón. .
elDiario.es attempted to gather more information on the procedure followed by the PP for the alleged behavior committed by Landaluce. Last week, when the Errejón scandal broke, the general secretary of the PP declared that the party had a “protocol” for action in the face of this type of accusations. The protocol, which senior PP sources say exists, is not published on the party’s transparency website nor has it been made available to journalists who have requested it.
