Having learned of these facts, the Alfara del Patriarca Government Teamformed by the PSPV and Compromís, expressed its “firm” condemnation and “solidarity” with the victim.
In a statement, he said that the institution of the Alfara City Hall, like any public entity, “must represent a space without violence and, above all, it must demonstrate particular sensitivity in protecting women against sexist violence.
“These behaviors – he added – have no place in our society and must always be reported and rejected, with force.” It is for this reason that the government team has asked the resignation of the investigated advisor until the situation is clarified through legal channels.
