Íñigo Errejón, a prominent Spanish politician, has resigned following anonymous allegations of gender-based violence.

The accusations, which surfaced on social media, did not initially name Errejón but led to his departure from politics after pressure from Más Madrid and Sumar, the party he was affiliated with.

Errejón acknowledged personal mistakes and the strain of public life in his resignation statement.

The situation has sparked internal investigations within Sumar and drawn comments from political figures, including former Podemos leader Pablo Iglesias, who noted that such rumors had circulated for some time.

The resignation marks a significant moment for Sumar, as it navigates a period of redefinition and internal crisis.
