A court of violence against women summons to declare the mayor of Algeciras as being investigated for sexual abuse

A court specializing in violence against women has summoned the mayor of Algeciras, Jose Ignacio Landaluce, to appear as an investigated individual over allegations of sexual abuse by a member of the local Popular Party (PP). This is the second such complaint against Landaluce, with the first being investigated by the Supreme Court's prosecution, as it was filed while he was still a senator. These accusations have triggered a crisis within the city council, leading to a vote of no confidence scheduled for October 28, which is expected to succeed with the support of the PP and Vox. The judge has also called Jacinto Muñoz, a PP councillor designated to replace Landaluce, and Patricia Bueno, a loyal councillor who has been disciplined by the PP, to testify. The political turmoil continues, with reports of members leaving the PP and uncertainty about the future leadership of the city.

The mayor of Algeciras, cited as an accused for sexual assault on October 23

The court handling violence against women in Algeciras has summoned José Ignacio Landaluce, former PP senator and mayor of the city, as a defendant in a case of alleged sexual assault. The accusation stems from a complaint filed by a young woman affiliated with Nuevas Generaciones, the youth wing of the Popular Party, who claims she was assaulted in the mayor's office on June 10. This is not the first time Landaluce faces legal action related to this incident; another complaint was filed with the Supreme Court earlier this month while he was still a senator. The case is pending further review by the prosecution.
