The actress and presenter Elisa Mouliaá has appeared on the social network X in defense of her version of the events in the sexual harassment complaint which he presented this Friday before the National Police against former deputy Íñigo Errejón.

“A woman can go out partying with her friends if she wants whenever she wants and without being judged, whether she has a husband or not, it is 2024.” This is how the Zapeando collaborator responded to some of the messages received in the last few hours, pointing out that at the time the events occurred, She was in a divorce process with her husband at the time.

Elisa also details that she was very excited about Errejón, whom she had “on a pedestal” and with whom she believed she could have “a beautiful love story”, but that she found a person who viewed her as a mere sexual object.

The actress adds in her tweet that she went to Errejón’s house after the first episode of sexual harassment because she told him that the car had been waiting for them for five minutes and they had to leave. However, the woman from Madrid points out that as soon as she got home she left after receiving a call in the taxi telling her that her daughter had a fever and that everything was “invasive and uncomfortable.”

An anonymous complaint that unleashed a political earthquake

The publication this Monday on Cristina Fallarás’ Instagram of the testimony of a victim of sexist violence by a “well-known politician” from Madrid set off alarms on social networks. Despite not mentioning his name, thousands of tweets began to point out Íñigo Errejón as the “psychological abuser” mentioned in the anonymous complaint.

This Thursday, Public first reported his resignation and that the real reason behind it was precisely these accusations. In parallel, Sumar’s former spokesperson announced his resignation but limited himself to alleging that he had reached a limit “of the contradiction between character and person” and in the face of the “toxic subjectivity that patriarchy multiplies in the case of men.” Women journalists, academics and politicians reacted forcefully to her farewell letter, pointing out the need to end impunity for sexual violence, and highlighting that this testimony would be just the tip of the iceberg.

Following the resignation of Ínigo Errejón, Cristina Fallarás stated this Friday that she had received almost a dozen testimonies from women who recount similar experiences with the former politician.
