Iñigo Errejón claims that the actress’ complaint Elisa Mouliaa East “FAKE” and asks the judge to reopen the case be able to declare and “expose the reality of the facts”, criticizing the “procedural vacuum» where he is after the interruption of the procedure due to the pregnancy of the plaintiff’s lawyer. In 2020 he assured on his social networks: “There are no false complaints, “There is a fanatical right whose role is to criminalize women.” He attached an article entitled: “Only seven false complaints of gender violence out of the 168,057 filed in 2019”.
In his appeal, presented before court number 47 of Madrid, and which provides for another appeal before the provincial court if it is not accepted, the former deputy of Sumar denounces what he describes as “ploy to delay the procedure with obvious bad faith and abuse of rights” on the part of Mouliaá’s defense.
On Monday, the judge Adolfo Carretero temporarily suspended the case until Mouliaá’s lawyer returns from leave, stressing that the actress refused to name another trusted lawyer, which prevents the continuation of the procedure.
Errejón’s lawyer requests that the case be reopened so that his client can “declare as quickly as possible» and demands that Mouliaá be obliged to name a new lawyer within a maximum period of 24 hours. He emphasizes that this criminal procedure, with great media impact, undermines Errejón’s honor and presumption of innocence, which is why respect for his procedural rights must be a priority.
He further questions the delay until March or April 2025 and criticizes the “undeniable bad faith” in this situation. According to his defense, Errejón wanted to testify last Tuesday, as planned, to present his version of events and refute the accusations, calling them “unacceptable» the prolongation of this situation. The lawyer is considering the temporary suspension of the case “legally incomprehensible» and contrary to the judge’s previous actions, who had asked Mouliaá’s defense to appoint a replacement to avoid delays in the proceedings.
