The former deputy of Sumar has assured that the complaint by actress Elisa Mouliaá is “false” and has asked the judge investigating him for sexual assault to reopen the case and allow him to testify to “expose the reality of the facts”, avoiding the “procedural limbo” in which he has been plunged after the interruption of the case due to the pregnancy of the complainant’s lawyer.
In his appeal, collected by Europa Press, the former parliamentary spokesperson for Sumar addresses Court Number 47 of Madrid and subsidiarily to the Provincial Court of Madrid criticizing what he considers a “reckless and rinsing delay to delay and delay the processing of this procedure, with evident bad faith and abuse of rights” by Mouliaá’s lawyer.
It was this same Monday when the magistrate until the lawyer returned from her medical leave. The judge explained in his resolution that Mouliaá “has refused to appoint another lawyer to replace her trust” so “the inevitable consequence is the impossibility of continuing the procedure.”
The lawyer urges the magistrate to reopen the case so that he can “give a statement as soon as possible” and that the actress be required to designate a new lawyer she trusts within a “maximum period of 24 hours who can take charge, immediately, of his legal representation.”
In this context, the politician’s defense recalls that this case is not “a civil procedure” but rather a “criminal one, exceptionally high-profile, in which serious conduct is charged, and in which with each passing day” he cannot “give the due explanations before the investigating body, to the public detriment of his honor and his right to the presumption of innocence.”
“Therefore, and also given the exceptional media significance of the process, respect for the procedural rights that protect Mr. Errejón must be no less exceptional to avoid the serious undue delays that the lawyer seeks until his reinstatement in more than 16 weeks. ? March or April 2025?” he asks.
His lawyer emphasizes that Errejón’s “desire” was to testify in court last Tuesday, as initially planned, “in order to be able to offer the corresponding explanations before the judicial body and expose the reality of the facts, which are far from those described by the other party.” In any case, he assures that “he will assume the high costs of testing procedures carried out throughout the instruction phase.”
Errejón’s representation assures that “trying to leave this unprecedented and surprising procedural impasse agreed upon by the instructor, and in which almost nothing happens for at least four months, is legally and humanly unacceptable.” “Bad faith is undoubtedly; and the abuse of rights, unquestionable,” he adds.
In the opinion of his defense, the order by which the judge agreed to archive the case “is legally incomprehensible and procedurally incongruent with the instructor’s own previous acts, which by previous ruling, and “since the representation nor the withdrawal were not duly accredited, “medical or pregnancy” of Mouliaá’s lawyer, “required to appoint another lawyer of his confidence or someone to replace the physically incapacitated lawyer in order to safeguard the rights of the investigated.”
Mouliaá says that what he said “is what happened”
The actress Elisa Mouliaá responded this Thursday to the appeal presented by the defense of the former deputy of Sumar Íñigo Errejón, defending that her complaint for an alleged crime of sexual assault is not “false” and that everything she has said “is what really happened.” and signs.”
“I understand that the anger is enormous, but of course saying that it is a false complaint seems regrettable to me because it is not. All I’m saying is what happened with hairs and tails,” said the interpreter in statements to the program ‘And now Sonsoles’ on Antena 3.
The interpreter has acknowledged that she feels “quite paralyzed” after Errejón’s appeal and the “media launch” that she has experienced following the complaint, of which she has said that she presented it to “clarify what was happening and everything that happened.” Mouliaá has defended that he has recounted what happened and how that night with the former deputy became “one of the most unpleasant” of his life. “I have evidence and witnesses that all of this happened. So, I haven’t backed down. Obviously, right now, with everything the lawyer has written, I am scared and quite shocked, but now I only have to trust in justice and let my lawyer decide how to act,” he reiterated.
The actress recalled that her lawyer is on medical leave – which is why the judge temporarily filed the open case until her return – and “in a complex situation.” “To say that everything is false and that there has been bad faith (…) The bad faith seems to me to be coming from their side now,” he concluded.
