Galician Opposition Demands Investigation After Leak in Villares Sexual Assault Case

Galician Opposition Condemns Leak of Victim's Identity in Villares Sexual Assault Case Galicia, Spain – Opposition parties in Galicia have voiced strong criticism following the leak of the identity of the woman who accused former councilor, Jose Manuel Villares, of sexual assault. The incident has sparked outrage and calls for a thorough investigation into how her personal information was disclosed. In a press conference, Paloma Castro, a member of the PSdeG-PSOE, expressed her deepest concern: "Our absolute rejection of her exposure and public shaming in a case like this. We defend from the Socialist Group that the important thing is to focus where it corresponds, which is not on the victim, but on her protection and her right to privacy." Noa Presas of the BNG echoed this sentiment, stating: "It is extremely serious that we know the name and surname of the woman who denounced a former councilor from the Xunta de Galicia. This has to be investigated and clarified because it is of enormous gravity. It is a violation of her identity, her privacy, and constitutes an aggression against this person and her personal circle." The incident underscores the importance of protecting the privacy of victims in sexual assault cases. The opposition parties' calls for a full investigation will likely keep this story in the headlines as Galicians demand accountability and justice.
