• Madrid Police confirm that the alleged homophobic aggression was a consensual act

The false aggression in Malasaña aroused a powerful political debate after the ranks of the Government pointed to Vox and its speeches as the engine that started this

fake aggression against a homosexual

in Madrid.

From the ranks of the PP, after learning that the complainant had assured that nothing corresponded to the truth,

explanations

were

requested

mainly from the Minister of the Interior, Fernando Grande Marlaska, who, from minute one, became the Government spokesman in his complaint of what he considered to be a new episode of hate crime, after the Council of Ministers announced the presence of President Sánchez in the commission to monitor hate crimes for these events. "Did Marlaska know when he accused other formations of generating hatred, that everything was false?

If he knew, bad; if not, worse,

" his general secretary, Teodoro García Egea, pointed out on Twitter. The popular deputy and spokesperson in the Interior Committee of Congress,

Ana Vázquez

He went one step further and demanded explanations from the minister and

"his resignation

.

"

Before the falsehood of the complaint was known, Vox made its position clear after the Government pointed it out.

"We are not going to allow anyone to link Vox with violent actions. We always condemn all types of aggressions, whatever they may be.

We condemn all,

" said the parliamentary spokesman in Congress, Iván Espinosa de los Monteros.

The Vox leader announced the launch of "a special unit that will take to court anyone who links Vox with acts of violence. These hate crimes will be prosecuted wherever they come from. We will seek the resources to bring the courts to anyone who links Vox with violent acts. We will pursue from the most anonymous tweet to the activist disguised as the most famous journalist.

Impunity is going to end

, "he added. "All the aggressions have the resounding condemnation of Vox. All the victims are important. All the aggressors must be condemned. Vox is the party of law and order and is committed to a criminal hardening for actions like these," he insisted. That is why he defended that Vox is the party that best defends homosexuals.

Despite the emphaticness expressed by Espinosa de los Monteros, other political groups called for parliamentary unity in the face of this type of attack.

This was requested by United We Can, which announced that it will promote an institutional declaration in Congress

"against homophobic hatred

."

"Let's see if it has parliamentary unanimity or not," said the purple spokesman, Pablo Echenique, before it was known that Malasaña's complaint was false.

"Hate speeches have to do with hate crimes, each one will judge to what extent," said Echenique, adding that in recent times "hate crimes have increased" against homosexuals.
