The Mayor of Nules, David García, announced in the municipal plenary session that the legal services department has been tasked with reviewing communications from opposition parties (PP and VOX) and comments made on social media. The aim is to determine if these actions infringe upon councilwoman Gemma Carratalá's right to honor, specifically concerning potential slander and libel.
García asserted that in a rule of law, fundamental rules must be respected and "not everything goes." He recalled that the Spanish Constitution establishes the principle of presumption of innocence as a fundamental right for all citizens. "A councilwoman who has committed no crime is being persecuted. In fact, there is no judicial investigation or open court case. Yet some have already rushed to judge and condemn, making extremely serious claims," stated the mayor.
The mayor concluded that this situation will not be tolerated and will be taken to court so that those responsible retract their statements and apologize for the reputational and personal damage caused. "In this country, no one has to prove their innocence; rather, their guilt must be proven – where appropriate and by whom it corresponds. They believe anything goes in politics, and it doesn't. They engage in trash politics because they have no alternative," he affirmed.
In the coming days, once the file is complete, the corresponding lawsuit will be filed with the court for the violation of councilwoman Gemma Carratalá's right to honor.
