Adelante Andalucía has made public a complaint for "police violence" against its regional lawmaker Inma Manzano and the organization secretary of the group, Néstor Salvador, as a result of their participation in a picket on the Metro of Granada tracks, at the height of the suburban depot yards, on the morning of this Wednesday on the occasion of the general strike.
In an audio message sent to the media, Manzano has described the actions of the National Police officers as "shameful and violent," adding that "none of them carried identification." According to her account, during the police charge, Néstor Salvador was assaulted and had to be taken to the Emergency Department, while she herself and other protesters were pushed until they fell to the ground.
In her statement, the parliamentarian has called for political responsibility by stating: "We want to ask for the resignation of the government subdelegate of Pablo García Ruiz. We cannot tolerate this police violence. Let them go against the workers on a day like today of strike, where all we are doing is asserting the right to decent housing, decent wages and the right to protect our public services," Manzano said.
The regional lawmaker has also said that during the police action they saw how a Police commander told a police van "to keep going": "The van sped up in order to run over the protesters. We cannot tolerate our streets filling up with violence. We cannot tolerate that they do not allow us the right to strike," she concluded.
On the other hand, sources from the National Police consulted by Europa Press have confirmed the early-morning action of this Wednesday on the metro tracks by the depot yards, specifying that their intervention was aimed at allowing the suburban train to run.
