Investigating Reyes Maroto for allegedly referring to elderly residents as "murdered" within their homes
The Community of Madrid has filed a complaint against Reyes Maroto, the spokesperson of the municipal socialist group in the Madrid City Council, for alleged defamatory statements made during the pandemic. The Instruction Court No. 13 of Madrid is now handling the processing of the complaint.
The controversy arose when Maroto accused the regional government of allowing the elderly to "die" in residences during the pandemic. The regional government considered these statements a breach of political decency and filed a conciliation demand on March 19, a preliminary step before filing the complaint, due to Maroto's refusal to retract her statements.
However, Maroto later rectified her statements on the social network X, stating that her intention was not to accuse anyone of murder but to highlight inadequate medical treatment in Madrid's residences.
The complaint was filed with the aim to defend the professionals who gave their all to save lives during the pandemic. The Instruction Court No. 13 of Madrid, located in Madrid, Spain, has accepted the complaint for processing.
On November 11, 2022, at 11:45 AM, the investigation hearing for Maroto is scheduled to take place. Access to certain features in this article is only available for subscribers.
