The president of the Valencian Generalitat, Ximo Puig , has been the subject of a criminal complaint before the Superior Court of Justice of the Valencian Community for an alleged crime of "abandonment of its obligations regarding the public service to ensure the health and protection of its fellow citizens. "

The promoters of the complaint, as they have explained to Efe themselves, are Vox supporters who act in a personal capacity as a popular accusation, and one of them is a retired doctor.

As stated in the aforementioned complaint, the plaintiffs assure that Puig, "in his frivolity and serious recklessness, has put his electoral and political interests, spurious by all accounts, to the public health with clear neglect of his duty as the highest authority of the Community Valencian ".

In the text presented to the TSJCV, an account is made of the main milestones in the spread of the coronavirus in Spain and in the Community, with the number of infected and deceased at each moment.

Article 409 of the Penal Code is cited to conclude that "there has not been total transparency in decision-making by the defendant, his counselors and the crisis cabinet. At the same time, the deficient regulation and control of the activity of the population, necessary to attenuate or prevent the propagation in geometric progression of the virus. "

"We consider that there has been a deliberate omission of the duty to ensure the safety, health and hygiene of the inhabitants of the Valencian Community, in the period described, and clearly there has been a collective and manifestly illegal abandonment of an essential public service with serious harm to multiple citizens, "adds the brief.

Likewise, Puig is accused of "allowing, promoting and even attending events, in addition to transferring the feeling of normality, and the absence of risk to Valencian society, causing an aggravation of the number of infections, determining to heighten the severity of this health crisis ".

He also criticizes the fact that people with advanced COVID-19 symptoms are being "discouraged" from entering hospital centers, "who are dying at home or in nursing homes", and all this "in the absence of necessary material for your care and recovery. "

Likewise, they demand that a statement be taken from the Minister of Health, Salvador Illa , and the Minister of Health, Ana Barceló , among other senior officials of the Ministry.
