The Vox candidate for the Presidency of the Junta, Manuel Gavira, has communicated this Friday that the party is evaluating filing a complaint for the incidents registered the past day in Granada, when a group of "anti-fascist" demonstrators gathered against a Vox event in Las Pasiegas square, in the very center of the city, in which the national leader, Santiago Abascal, participated, and which ended with the arrest of one person.
"We are going to study, evidently, the actions, but the first thing that must be denounced is how Marlaska and his government delegate do not guarantee the security of the Andalusians who were there," Manuel Gavira has stated, in statements to the media in Marbella, in reference to the Minister of the Interior, Fernando Grande-Marlaska, and the delegate of the central Government in Andalucía, Pedro Fernández.
"Yesterday they tried to silence us, to quiet us, to intimidate us. Yesterday Marlaska and his government delegate put the Andalusians in Granada at risk," Gavira has insisted, who wanted to make it clear that "they are not going to achieve their objective. They are not going to silence us, nor are they going to quiet us, nor are they going to intimidate us."
Questioned about whether the party plans to introduce changes in the organization of its upcoming events to prevent similar situations, Gavira has indicated that, for the moment, from Vox they will limit themselves to "denouncing what happened and reviewing all the videos".
"It cannot be that 20 meters from the bus where we were heading to more than 2,000 Andalusians who were there to listen to us, there was a far-left mob wanting to boycott the event. And, above all, they were also endangering the lives of elderly people, children and families who were there to listen to us," he has stated.
"But the truth is that they threw objects at us, they threw paintballs at us and even everyone has seen the images of our colleague María Ruiz, national deputy full of paint," Gavira pointed out.
