• María Salmerón Victim of ill-treatment: "They put me in jail for protecting and respecting my daughter's will"

María Salmerón, sentenced to nine months in prison for not allowing her husband - sentenced for sexist violence - to visit her daughter, has voluntarily entered the Social Integration Center (CIS) of Seville, located in Alcalá de Guadaíra this morning , prison sources have informed EFE.

Her daughter Miriam has confirmed

her entry into the center on her social networks,

indicating that her worst nightmare "has come true"

, and has observed "paralyzed how the doors of that place were closed behind her that her abuser, despite being sentenced , never stepped on".

"Finally,

that person who set out to ruin my mother's life

more than twenty years ago and with whom I share a last name, has managed to separate us," says the young woman, who will be 22 in ten days.

He has lamented that "the representatives of the Government and judges involved have allowed it" and "the Minister of Equality

(Irene Montero) publicly said 'we have failed'

in terms of not granting pardon to my mother, but no one has put a solution or corrected said ruling".

For María Salmerón's daughter,

Irene Montero is "not only responsible for sending my mother to jail

, but also for humiliating us in the media by blaming the denial of pardon on some alleged background -without specifying what to dirty her image- of disobedience already prescribed", for which he has

requested the resignation of the head of Equality

.

Salmerón was sentenced to

nine months in prison and the payment of 3,000 euros in civil liability

, which she paid 24 hours before hearing the judge's decision to enter prison, despite the fact that she hoped to avoid entry with that action. .

At the moment, according to prison sources, Salmerón

will spend a few days isolated from the rest of the inmates

in compliance with the protocol against covid, and within a maximum period of one week it will be assessed whether he remains in this center or is

referred to a conventional prison. .

María Salmerón has not yet been

officially qualified to assess her admission to an insertion center

, so it is necessary to study the way in which article 100.2 of the Penitentiary Regulations is applied, which allows the classification of inmates to be made more flexible to assess the degree of serving their sentences.

The regulation states that the technical team of the prison may propose to the Treatment Board that, with respect to each inmate, an

execution model be adopted in which characteristic aspects

of each of the aforementioned grades can be combined.

Thus, it could be the case that if the evaluation board does not consider that it adapts to the specific measures,

it is referred to a conventional prison.

María Salmerón, who

had already been pardoned on several occasions

, requested the pardon again after being sentenced in 2020 by a court in Seville to nine months in prison for a continued crime of serious disobedience to authority with the aggravating circumstance of recidivism, and which decided that he remain free until this resolution.

The term to

enter prison ended last Friday,

although he still had several days to enter voluntarily.

He is also pending

resolution of the appeals filed

, in which he requests, as a precautionary measure, the suspension of his prison sentence and the annulment of his record.
