PSOE Seeks Probe Into Vito Quiles Video Allegedly Shot in PP Deputy’s Congress Office

The move puts enforcement of tighter press rules in Spain’s lower house in the spotlight.

Overview

  • PSOE asked the Congress Board to investigate whether influencer-journalist Vito Quiles filmed a video inside PP deputy Alma Alfonso’s private office.
  • The party says that office space is off limits to reporters without prior permission and notice to the chamber’s press team, and it requested Alfonso’s testimony to confirm any authorization.
  • Its filing cites new accreditation rules that classify Quiles as a text reporter, a status that bars recording video outside designated areas where only camera crews may film.
  • The video in question shows Quiles announcing plans to sue after Begoña Gómez filed a harassment complaint against him.
  • Faro de Vigo reports he already has about six disciplinary cases pending in Congress, and La Razón notes repeated breaches could lead to a temporary expulsion.
