Vito Quiles has once again starred in an incident in the Congress. The deputy spokesperson and deputy for Sumar, Aina Vidal, along with several bench colleagues were attending the media in the Lower Chamber's Desk room when Quiles asked without having the floor.
Vidal was offering details of the complaint she is going to file at the Congress police station against Bertrand Ndongo who, last Tuesday, confronted the deputy in the Lower House's press room, and then tried to prevent her from getting into a taxi. "I felt assaulted and intimidated," Vidal specified, recalling that the "Chamber must project an image of respect."
The incident this Thursday with Quiles occurred during the question time. The activist has questioned the deputy, assuring that when the PP leaders suffered scrawls there were no complaints, and the journalist who at that moment had the floor asked for "respect" for the rest of the colleagues present. The rest of the journalists present in the room asked Quiles to cease his interruptions. "A journalist is speaking to a spokesperson," Vidal insisted, who later lamented that these events are a "continued situation" in the corridors of Congress.
The circumstance is that this very morning the Consultative Council of Parliamentary Communication, the body created to guarantee compliance with the Rules of the Congress, has met, following the decision of the Board of April 28 to open a file against Vito Quiles after the complaint by the deputy Ione Belarra.
