Vox has made public this Friday a complaint for "a series of acts of vandalism" recorded in the last hours against the official spaces reserved for campaigning in the Mallorcan municipalities of Inca and Algaida, amid the ongoing election campaign.
In a statement, the councilwoman and Vox spokesperson in Inca, Fanny Blasco, explained that the municipality woke up with one of its election posters torn down and with graffiti on another fixture with the expression 'Puteros nazis', which led her to express her "absolute rejection" of what happened.
"Those who are incapable of debating with ideas and arguments resort to vandalism, insult, and coercion typical of totalitarians.
It is no coincidence that, of all the panels installed in the municipality, the only one that was knocked down and attacked with particular ferocity is Vox's", Blasco said, attributing a clear intent to the choice of target.
As the party added, this scenario of "harassment of the election campaign" was repeated in Algaida as well. There, the councilman and spokesperson, Miguel Martínez, said that the party's posters were sabotaged almost immediately after being put up.
"Yesterday we were putting up posters in Randa and, just a few minutes after we had put it up, the poster was torn down", Martínez criticized, condemning this incident as an example of "intolerance from those who can't stand the message of Vox reaching every corner".
Blasco and Martínez argue that these incidents violate the elementary rules of democracy and freedom of expression, and they have asked the other political forces represented on the town councils of Inca and Algaida to take a stance "without ambiguities" on what happened.
"We demand both from the Socialist mayor Virgilio Moreno, and from the also Socialist mayor of Algaida, Margalida Fullana, and from the rest of the political parties an immediate, clear, and unqualified condemnation", they demanded, calling for a firm institutional response to these acts.
