Overview
- The 93-page querella accuses Mayor Manuel Bautista of six offences including sexual harassment, workplace harassment, degrading treatment, injuries, coercion and disclosure of secrets.
- The filing names the Partido Popular as a corporate defendant, attributing responsibility both to the mayor and to the party as a legal entity.
- The complaint is accompanied by recordings, documents and witness statements, and it alleges that some of the complainant’s official emails were deleted.
- The coordinator of Digitalisation, New Technologies and Archive at the Móstoles City Council resigned, framing the step as an exercise in coherence with facts made public.
- PSOE and Sumar publicly backed the complainant and criticized the PP’s response, while national PP figures kept quiet after earlier threats of legal action that accused the ex-councilor of fabricating evidence, and the case now proceeds to a conciliation act before potential judicial investigation.
