The one who was spokesperson for the Sumar Parliamentary Group has abandoned institutional politics after multiple testimonies from victims who claim to have suffered some type of sexist violence at the hands of the founder of More Countryof which Public was echoed in the first instance.
The scandal broke out after Cristina You Will Fail published on social networks an anonymous testimony of sexual violence perpetrated by “a politician who lives in Madrid.” Speculation pointed to Iñigo Errejón as author of the factsas he later confirmed to More Madrid. In this context, Mouliaá dared this Thursday to reveal his identity as one of the victims and this Friday he presented his formal complaint to the Police.
In the document, which Public has had access, the actress says that she had started talking to the deputy about instagram and later by Telegram a year before they happened the facts reported. At the end of September 2021, Mouliaá attended the presentation of the book that Errejón published that year, at the personal invitation of the author himself.
An icy attitude and three impositions
After the event, the then deputy invited the actress and presenter to have a beer in the Madrid neighborhood of Ópera. It was then that Errejón’s behavior changed, adopting “a serious and cold attitude” which disconcerted the complainant. She later informed the accused that she was going to the party of some friends who lived in Australia and that they were visiting. Mouliaá claims that he invited the deputy out of politeness. He agreed, which surprised the actressand asked for a car to travel to the address where the party was being held.
In the vehicle, Errejón’s behavior changed for the second time. On this occasion, with a dominant characterso he imposed three rules on the complainant:
1. That he should not stray too far from him that night.
2. That if he did, he should not go more than twenty meters away from him and return in a minute.
3. That night he gave her a kiss.
“The deponent felt violated and cut offalthough he decided to remain silent because of who he was,” the complaint states.
The first attack: a kiss without consent
“I’m going to break the third rule right now,” Errejón told the complainant, already inside the elevator, according to the text. He grabbed Mouliaá and kissed her, “inserting his tongue inside her mouth, leaving her breathless and, in a violent way, invading the space of the declarant and making the same felt very intimidated“.
Upon entering the house of the actress’s friends, the evening unfolded with a certain normality. However, she began to dance with a friend of hers to a song by the group. The secrets. According to her, this must have caused an attack of jealousy against Errejónas he grabbed her arm and dragged her six meters down a hallway and put her into a room. The then-deputy locked the door. That’s where the second attack began.
Errejón took out his penis and began to lick her breasts
The one from Sumar began to kiss the actress and touch her on different parts of the body, especially the breasts and buttocksall without your consent. The complainant does not remember if she did it over or under her clothes, but she does remember that he even took off her bra. “How do you put me“Errejón told him, among other lewd phrases, according to the testimony collected.
“He then pushed the complainant onto the bed and the accused he took out his virile memberbeginning to lick the area of the declarant’s breasts,” the complaint document states. The victim, “she felt paralyzed“ and “did not consent to anything that happened“. To escape from that situation, “she told him that she wanted to continue at the party, arguing that her friend had been left alone.”
Errejón agreed to leave the room, but “with the condition that in 20 minutes they both had to leave the party to Íñigo’s house, since he intended to call a vehicle.” Mouliaá agreed because, in that circumstance, He just wanted “everything that was happening to end as soon as possible.”
After leaving the room, The politician took the complainant’s jacket and he put it on quickly. “Come on, hurry up, the car has been waiting for five minutes“he snapped, always according to the text of the complaint.
The sick daughter and the antipathy of the accused
In the vehicle, the actress received a call from her father in which he informed Mouliaá that His daughter, who was one year old at the time, had a fever of 40. The deponent remembers being very worried, a feeling that did not resonate with her companion, who “maintained a cold and impassive attitude towards what was happening“, not being interested in any way in the state of her little daughter, not even offering her the possibility of taking her to her parents’ home.”
The presenter “felt very bad because she was worried about her little daughter and I did not very well understand the attitude shown by the now denounced“. Once at the deputy’s home, and without saying a word, he kisses her and touches her again.
Only yes is yes
While Errejón tried to take Mouliaá towards the bedroom, he commented that she was feeling very uncomfortable and that she was also still worried about her daughter. “Everything that was happening was seeming very violent to him.“says the complaint.
Mouliaá to Errejón: “It only means yes, it seems unbelievable that this is happening to me with you”
“Just yes it means yes, it seems unbelievable that this is happening to me with you,” the actress finally expressed. She asked Errejón “if he didn’t know what seduction, timing and listening were,” to which the politician replied “thanking him” and assured that “That was going to be useful for future meetings.“. The response of the then deputy caused in Mouliaá “surprise, repulsion and disappointment.”
“When the declarant was asked if she felt like a victim of a sexual crime, she responded yes,” the complaint concludes.
The feminist image that Errejón projected
This narrative contrasts radically with the public image that the until now spokesperson for Sumar I was trying to project. At the same time in which the reported events took place, Errejón praised feminism on social networks and condemned sexist violence and harassment.
Two months after the violence that Mouliaá claims to have suffered, the then deputy sent a message of rejection of the harassment that women suffer on the networks. “Feminism is the most important egalitarian movement of our time,” she also expressed in 2022 for 8M.
The Police will act “if sufficient indications” of harassment appear
