The two arrested for the attack on the former mayor of Ponferrada are brought to justice | The truth

The first arrest, which occurred at noon this Friday, April 12, was that of a 67-year-old man, a resident of Ponferrada, after the identification of several people involved and the investigation to clarify what happened is still open.

The delegate of the Government in Castilla y León, Nicanor Sen, condemned this Friday, April 12, the events that occurred yesterday in the capital of Bercia, where a socialist public official was attacked in the street by a group of people who were gathered in front of the headquarters of the political party that the victim represents to express their discontent with the policies of the central government.

In it, the Government delegate condemns the attack on the public office of the PSOE of Ponferrada, attacked in the street by a group of people who gathered in front of the headquarters of the political party that the victim represents to express their discontent with the policies of the Central government.

The attack on the councilor of the Ponferrada City Council has been described as “serious” and “worrying” and he has expressed his most resounding rejection of violence: “Whatever the type and for whatever reasons, violence has no place in the democracy”.

Likewise, Nicanor Sen called for calm in the face of “the atmosphere of political tension.” “Institutions and political parties must be an example of tolerance and respect,” he said. He thus joins the request of Olegario Ramón himself, who has called for reducing “tension” in all institutions, from Congress to city councils.

The delegate has argued that democracy is built in debate, in the contrast of duly argued ideas, and has asked to banish from political discourse any type of message that encourages violence and tension: “We are all responsible for the agitation that is taking place. “He lives in the streets, and we are responsible, therefore, for reversing this escalation of violence.”
