“An absolute fraud of law and abuse of rights”
For the defense of Íñigo Errejón, this is a lawyer who was not formally present when he made that request and who has been on leave since November 7, and her request represents “an absolute fraud of law and abuse of rights,” he explains to EFE the defense lawyer, Eva Gimbernat.
“It is a delaying maneuver“, he adds, and assures that Errejón “He wants to testify as soon as possible to give explanations and defend his innocence.“. That is why the lawyer plans to present the appeal before the Provincial Court throughout this week.
