The

Court of First Instance

and Instruction Number 8 of

Leganés (Madrid)

has condemned for an illegitimate interference in the honor of the deputy and spokesperson of Podemos Pablo Echenique and the Secretary of Communication of the

purple

formation

,

Juanma del Olmo

, to compensate with 80,000 euros to the family of the late

Manuel López Rodríguez

who was accused of being a rapist.

On March 2, 2019, the leaders of Podemos reacted to the news that indicated that the candidate for mayor of

Ávila

for the formation of Pablo Iglesias,

Pilar Baeza

, had been convicted of the murder of López Rodríguez, which occurred in September 1985, as follows.

"Regarding the question for Ávila, simply note that we are talking about events that took place 35 years ago, which refer to a woman who was raped and that yesterday,

Pablo Fernández

, Secretary General and spokesperson for Podemos in Castilla y León, explained the position of the party in this regard and it is a position that we subscribe to from beginning to end, "Echenique said at a press conference.

For his part, Del Olmo wrote on the social network Twitter: "Hug Pilar Baeza from Podemos Ávila. 35 years ago she was the victim of a rape. Her boyfriend then shot the man who raped her."

However, the Supreme Court, in a final ruling, never proved the aforementioned sexual assault;

Hence, the Leganés judge has partially upheld the lawsuit filed by the family of the deceased and now considered that the statements made by Echenique and Del Olmo accusing Manuel López Rodríguez of a violation represent a violation of his right to honor.

"It is clear that affirming that a person has raped another is an affirmation that damages the dignity of the person to whom it is imputed and undermines his fame and personal consideration, everything except that the violation is proven, in which case to say that the violation The woman who was raped would cease to be a mere opinion -as it happens in this case- to become the expression of a verified objective fact, concludes the sentence, to which

.

The judge adds that "the assertion made by Echenique that Pilar Baeza was raped is a gratuitous assertion, not verified, collected only from the version offered by Baeza, and, above all, absolutely unnecessary for the idea that Echenique was exposing" that no they are protected under freedom of expression.
