The double Olympic medalist Alvaro Martin Uriol demanded from the former president of Extremadura Government, Juan Carlos Rodriguez Ibarraa public correction and apology for stating yesterday, at a public event, that PSOE, that the athlete from Extremadura does not pay his taxes in the region.
Literally, Rodriguez Ibarra He said at the event, held in Miajadas (Cáceres), that “whoever wants to be nice on Extremadura Day only has to talk about the train and make us cry; cry all day long. “Look,” he added, “except for Guardiola and the nun from Plasencia, all those who spoke that day – among them Álvaro Martín – none of them pay their taxes in Extremadura,” he added.
Ibarra He stressed the “none” and “it is not because they left with one hand in front and one behind, because I have all the respect for them; “They left to progress more and are not making the effort here so that we all progress more,” he added.
The former president of Extremadura said he respected their opinion, but urged them to “start by asking for forgiveness for not having been here when it was necessary to be here to put intelligence at the service of the people of Extremadura.”
Alvaro Martin reacted to these remarks of Ibarra by publishing in
Furthermore, he points out in his personal account that “it seems very bad and very ugly” that Rodríguez Ibarra, “in his attack on the PSOE (which I cannot assess), uses the LIE as a throwing weapon.”
It seems to me very bad and very ugly that, while he is attacking the @PSOE (which I can’t value), use a LIE as a throwing weapon.

After making sure that he is registered in Llerena and that he pays his taxes in Extremadura, he concludes: “I apologize for trying to tarnish my name.”
The Extremadura athlete has received numerous messages of solidarity and support on this social network, as was the case during the last Extremadura Day, when he received the highest distinction of the autonomous community and criticized the fact that the day of the region is the day of the Virgin of Guadalupe and not March 25, when the historic and peaceful revolution of the day laborers of Extremadura is commemorated.
Ibarra himself had acknowledged that the election on September 8, the religious festival of Santa María de Guadalupe, was due to his “cacicada”, a term he himself used when asked about this issue on Canal Extremadura Televisión on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the Statute of Autonomy.
