This Thursday, former politician Íñigo Errejón asked the judge investigating him for a crime of sexual assault against actress Elisa Mouliaá to reopen the case and allow him to testify to “expose the reality of the facts.” In the appeal, the former parliamentary spokesperson for Sumar tries to discredit Mouliaá by stating that the complaint “is false”, something that she has immediately denied: “To say that it is a false complaint is regrettable. That is what happened.”
This Monday, the judge suspended the case due to the complainant’s lawyer being on medical leave due to advanced pregnancy. Given this, Errejón’s defense criticizes the decision and assures that it is a “stratagem and trick to delay and delay the processing of this procedure, with evident bad faith and abuse of rights” on the part of Mouliaá’s lawyer.
Errejón’s lawyer urges the magistrate to reopen the case so that he can “declare as soon as possible” and that the actress be required to appoint a new lawyer within a “maximum period of 24 hours” of your trust that he can immediately take charge of his legal representation”.
In this context, his defense recalls that This case is not “a civil procedure” but rather a “criminal one, exceptionally high-profile, in which serious conduct is chargedand in which each day that passes” he cannot “give the due explanations before the investigating body, to the public detriment of his honor and his right to the presumption of innocence.”
The defense of the accused ironically asks that “given the exceptional media significance of the process, respect for the procedural rights that protect Mr. Errejón must be no less exceptional to avoid the serious undue delays that the lawyer seeks until your reinstatement within more than 16 weeks? March or April 2025?”.
Errejón’s argument
His lawyer emphasizes that Errejón’s “desire” was to testify in court last Tuesday, as initially planned, “in order to be able to offer the corresponding explanations before the judicial body and expose the reality of the facts, which are far from those described by Mouliaá in his false complaintand that may be distorted by the evidentiary procedures carried out throughout the instruction phase.”
Errejón’s representation assures that “trying to extend this unprecedented and unprecedented procedural limbo agreed by the instructor, and in which” the former deputy “remains for at least four more months, It is legally and humanly unacceptable.”. “Bad faith is undoubtedly; and the abuse of rights, indisputable,” he adds.
In the opinion of the former deputy’s defense, the order by which the judge agreed to archive the case “is legally incomprehensible and procedurally incongruent with the instructor’s own previous actswhich by previous ruling, and “since the representation or medical leave or pregnancy” of Mouliaá’s lawyer was not duly accredited, “required to appoint another lawyer of his confidence or someone to replace the physically incapacitated lawyer in order to safeguard the rights of the person under investigation”.
Elisa Mouliaá responds to Errejón: “I find it regrettable”
The actress and complainant has responded to the appeal presented by Errejón’s defense defending that his complaint is not “false” and that everything he has said “is what happened with hair and signs.”
“I understand that the anger is enormous, but of course say it’s a false complaint I find it regrettable because it is not. “All I’m saying is what happened with a twist,” said the interpreter in statements to the program And now Sonsoles from Antenna 3.
The interpreter has acknowledged that she feels “quite paralyzed” after Errejón’s appeal and the “media launch” that he has experienced after the complaint, of which he has said that he filed it to “clarify what was happening and everything that happened.”
Mouliaá has defended that he related what happened and how he became that night with the former deputy in “one of the most unpleasant” of his life. “I have evidence and witnesses that all of this happened. So, I have not backed down. Obviously, right now, with everything that the lawyer has written, well I’m scared and I’m quite shockedbut now I only have to trust in justice and let my lawyer decide how to act,” he reiterated.
The actress recalled that her lawyer is on medical leave – which is why the judge temporarily filed the open case until her return – and “in a complex situation.” “To say that everything is false and that there has been bad faith (…) Bad faith seems to me to be coming now on his part,” has settled.
