• The complaint Two witnesses support a complaint against Errejón for kicking a 67-year-old man in the belly in Madrid

  • Justice The man who denounced Íñigo Errejón for assault is ratified before the judge

Iñigo Errejón denied this morning to the judge that he had kicked the man who accused him of having assaulted him after asking him to take a photo with him.

"I take his arm away, but I have not kicked anyone in my life," the deputy from Más País said to questions from the Prosecutor's Office during the trial for the alleged assault.

Moments before, the complainant had declared that on the night of May 2, 2021, when he was returning to his house in Lavapiés after having a couple of bottles with a friend, he saw the politician a few meters away.

"I said, come on, if that's Errejón, I'm going to take a picture. I approached him and told him, but if you're Errejón, don't you mind if I take a picture with you? He laughed and said 'I from those hours I don't work

anymore

. '

The alleged attacker added that he immediately felt pain from the kick in the stomach, a particularly delicate area for him because he had undergone surgery for colon cancer.

"Oh, oh, oh, the doctor. Call the police," he told his friend.

He ended up filing a complaint against the deputy, to whom he has denied having animosity.

Yes, he has "Pablo Iglesias", he has said, denying being on the extreme right: he votes for the PP, but before that for the PSOE.

The version of Errejón, who was returning that night from the end of the electoral campaign for the Madrid regional elections, is another: the man was a bore who did not accept the refusal to take a photo.

"Two gentlemen approach me, and the short one calls me 'Errejón man', with a slightly mocking tone. He asks me for a photo and I tell him that it's almost 11 [at the time there was a curfew], that I'm not working and I'm going home."

"He keeps insisting on me, it's uncomfortable. He tells me, 'if I turn you green on social media'."

Well, all the more reason.

They go like four or five negatives.

He tells me 'Come on, reddish, come take a picture'.

He approaches with the will to take a selfie.

It's true that I get angry there.

It comes as if to hug.

I tell him to remove it.

'Come on, red, if you're dumber than I thought.'

I said, do you want to leave me alone, since I've told you 20 times?

He raises his tone, between mocking and contemptuous."

The prosecutor has interrupted the story to specify whether or not he kicked him.

"I push his arm away, but I have never kicked anyone in my life."

The prosecutor tells him that they are talking about May 2, not about his life, and Errejón insists: "No, what I do is move my arm away and that's it."

The crime for which Errejón sits on the bench is 147.3 of the Criminal Code, which punishes with a fine of one to two months "whoever hits or mistreats another without causing injury."
