The judge of the National Court

agreed yesterday to send to the

the complaint of harassment by Podemos that the former lawyer of the formation

had just told him

.

When the interrogation arrived at three hours, the magistrate told the witness that he had heard in the media that he was under pressure.

Calvente began to respond and collapsed.

According to sources present in the statement, he even articulated the words "for a month there has been a campaign ..." and began to cry.

García Castellón gave him time to compose himself, and Calvente started again.

That for months he had been "suffering a defamatory campaign" on social networks and some media aligned with Podemos.

The trigger, he said, was the indictment of the party following a complaint from him.

He explained that messages such as "we are going to make your life impossible" and insults directed at his mother, wife and daughter come from people "incited by Podemos" and what he called "the Podemos guerrilla."

Calvente explained that within Podemos a group dedicated to organized harassment has been created and that he has not been the only victim.

He has said that the judges who harm training and those who Podemos consider "enemies" have also been on his target.

Among them would be the magistrate of the 42nd court in Madrid that has opened the case for the alleged

of Podemos.

"Podemos has a paid team to kill all the judges and all those who attack Podemos," said Calvente at the hearing.

He also explained that he had come to see the messages of the plot and the slogans of Podemos, such as "Calvente is lying" or that "we must not talk to him."

He explained that his former colleagues have repeatedly asked him not to testify yesterday at the National Court.

"They didn't want me to speak here, they told me to file for professional secrecy."

The opposite would have its dangers: "You will regret your whole life if you speak, they will crush you", they have come to say.

The objective, according to Calvente's interpretation, is to provoke "hate reactions" and reactions "at the grassroots," and that his fear is that any of these reactions is a violent act.

"There is a lot of

in Podemos, there is a lot of

" he explained to the judge according to the same sources.

"They are incitements to hatred."

He explained that he has received aggressive messages on his phone and that he fears for his physical integrity due to the "incitement to hatred" against him.

The account led the judge to ask him if he wanted to request protection for himself and his family.

Calvente replied that at that time he was not sure if he wanted to ask for protection.

Before concluding the appearance, García Castellón asked him, if he concluded that it was, to notify him and that the necessary measures would be adopted.

The lawyer was expelled from the formation shortly after he began to suspect some actions of its leaders and to oppose the strategy of electorally taking advantage of the

The party justified the dismissal in the alleged harassment by Calvente of Podemos lawyer

.

The judge in the case denied that the allegation had any basis.

Núñez is the lawyer for Bousselham and until recently also for Iglesias himself in the National Court.

That same lawyer is the one who is under suspicion due to her close relationship with one of the prosecutors in the case,

.

As the lawyer boasted in internal messages from the Podemos legal team, the prosecutor had a special affinity with her and offered her confidential information.

This anomalous situation, which also occurred in a secret case, led to Calvente's decision to remove her from the case.

But the result was he ended up out of the match and Núñez remains in the
