A judge opens proceedings for the incident of the pepper gas of the PP deputy Ana Vázquez

infoLibreIndependentCenteryesterday

A judge in Madrid has decided to open preliminary proceedings against Ana Vázquez, a member of the People's Party (PP), over alleged injuries resulting from her display of pepper spray during a parliamentary session on September 23. The incident occurred when Vázquez showed the spray while criticizing Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska regarding the presence of pepper spray in Ceuta. The speaker of the Congress, Francina Armengol, asked Vázquez to leave the chamber for showing what she called a 'weapon.' Several areas of the lower house were later sealed after toxic spray was detected, affecting multiple people. Shortly afterward, a PP advisor admitted to washing the pepper spray in a bathroom to remove any residue. Although Vázquez received a disciplinary notice from the Congress, it was archived at the end of the legislative term. Now, three affected individuals have filed complaints against Vázquez for the alleged crime of injury.

A judge in Madrid has decided to open preliminary investigations into a complaint against PP deputy Ana Vázquez regarding an incident on September 23 at the Congress of Deputies, where she displayed pepper spray during a session. The judge requested the three complainants, individuals affected by the incident, to complete their complaints with medical reports detailing injuries. Once this information is provided, the judge may request a forensic report to assess the case. During the session, Vázquez criticized Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska over the presence of pepper spray in Ceuta, prompting the speaker of the Congress, Francina Armengol, to ask her to leave the chamber for showing what was deemed a 'weapon.' Several areas of the lower house were later sealed after toxic spray was detected, affecting multiple people. A PP advisor later admitted to washing the pepper spray in a bathroom to remove any residue. Although Vázquez received a disciplinary notice from the Congress, it was archived recently due to the end of the legislative term and upcoming elections. Now, the incident is entering the legal process, though it remains in very early stages.
