Political Turmoil Erupts Over Errejón Scandal

Published: 2024-10-28

The political landscape in Spain is in upheaval following allegations of sexual misconduct against Íñigo Errejón, a prominent figure in the Sumar party.

Manuela Carmena, former mayor of Madrid, expressed her shock and dismay, stating she was unaware of any such behavior.

Meanwhile, Rita Maestre, Errejón's former partner, publicly voiced her feelings of betrayal, describing him as a misogynist.

The scandal has left Más Madrid, the party Errejón founded, in crisis, with internal conflicts and accusations of cover-ups.

The situation has also sparked political tensions, with the opposition party, PP, criticizing the government for allegedly shielding Errejón.

As the case unfolds, the future of the left-wing political space in Spain remains uncertain, with potential implications for the coalition government.
