The PSOE has already opened a file and suspended from membership the two members of its candidacy in Mójacar, arrested during a Civil Guard operation against vote buying for next Sunday’s municipal elections. They are Bartolomé Flores and Cristóbal Vizcaino.
The party leadership defends that it has acted “immediately” within its margin of action and that now it must be the justice system that judges them. The act is personal and they cannot force them to renounce it, but if they are elected, they anticipate that they will not be part of the socialist group. “Our pulse does not tremble with any illegal practice or outside of a maximum ethical height,” they point out.
