The
Electoral Board of Galicia (JEG)

The complaint was presented by the
PP
to the
Electoral Board
on Sunday, the election day of February 18, regarding a publication by the leader of Sumar and vice president of the Government on the social network X in which they understand that she would be asking for the vote when It is prohibited by electoral legislation.
Diaz said, in Galician, in that publication: "Let no one stay at home. Every vote counts to achieve the change we deserve. We are very close. If Sumar Galicia enters, Rueda falls."
After its publication, and linking to it, the parliamentary spokesperson of the PP, Miguel Tellado, denounced: "The electoral desperation of Yolanda Díaz... They do not even respect voting day." And the PP formalized the complaint.

refers to crimes related to electoral propaganda for "carrying out acts of propaganda once the electoral campaign period has ended" and are punishable by a prison sentence of three months to one year or a fine of six to twenty-four months.
