Pablo Iglesias Is Accused of Alleged Workplace Harassment

Pablo Iglesias faces a new controversy. Sergio Gregori decided to take legal action against Pablo Iglesias, whom he accuses of workplace harassment. Let's remember that Gregori co-founded an Internet television channel with Iglesias. 

He was removed from the project in January after showing closeness to Sumar, at a time of strong political confrontation between both formations. Additionally, he reported being targeted by attacks on social media by groups affiliated with the purple party. This is according to The Objective.

According to the media, at the end of last year, Gregori decided to file a lawsuit for workplace harassment against Iglesias. As the newspaper reports, before taking the matter to court, Gregori tried to reach an out-of-court settlement with the former purple leader.

However, Iglesias allegedly rejected the proposal and, through his lawyer, supposedly threatened Gregori, warning him that the case could have negative consequences for his career. 

Through a statement, according to the media, Gregori claimed to be 'on leave'. "Under a state of anxiety that has taken me to the hospital several times. Even though I am at Canal Red, I have no and have had no affiliation with Podemos," he supposedly stated in the statement.

Monedero Attacks Vito Quiles

The former Podemos leader, Juan Carlos Monedero, was involved in a violent episode against EDATV journalist Vito Quiles by throwing a microphone at him twice. The incident occurred when the reporter asked him about a recent accusation of sexual violence against him. The aggression reflects the tension the founder of Podemos is experiencing after his return to Spain from Venezuela.

Monedero, known for his feminist discourse and his role in founding Podemos, has been recently accused in a complaint of sexual violence. An event that contrasts with the narrative of his party, which has presented itself as a bastion of feminism and the defense of women's rights. Despite the seriousness of the accusation, the former leader has not given public explanations and has reacted violently to press questions.

Journalist Vito Quiles approached Monedero on the street to ask him about the case. But the former leader's response was to throw his microphone twice, trying to avoid any statement.
