Isabel Durán stated that the Ombudsman had assured her that she could not appeal while the case was still sub iudice, but that four days later she requested the Constitutional Court the same thing that CeDEU had demanded. She also recalled that Gabilondo had told El Debate a week earlier that the Ombudsman could not appeal under those circumstances. Durán accused Sofía Puente of opening the way for consulates to grant nationalities and maintained that new voters appeared in municipalities and constituencies where, according to her, they could help Pedro Sánchez change seats in Congress. She described the situation as a “demographic miracle of Sanchismo” and asserted that the State Attorney's Office, the Prosecutor’s Office, and the Ombudsman intervened so that people who, as she wrote, had obtained nationality through the “grandchildren’s law,” which she labeled as false, could vote. https://t.co/7y6dcJXAmY #Política #DefensorDelPueblo #Elecciones (translated)

Mafe Carrascal Rojas stated that she would continue on the streets defending citizens' rights and would show her credentials, as she believed her duty as a member of the Chamber was to represent the people and not remain in an office. She said she prioritized dialogue, but that did not mean remaining silent in the face of abuses or failing to demand explanations for reports of disproportionate actions by the Public Force against protesters. Carrascal maintained that she would defend the right of young people to express themselves and protest, and that she would not abandon those exercising those rights. She also noted that fulfilling the authorities' duty meant protecting rights and acting within the bounds of the Constitution and the law, not using weapons against the population. The representative affirmed that she would continue to raise her voice and questioned recent attempts to portray all mobilizations as violent. She added that one should not generalize or stigmatize those who protested peacefully, that no decree could supersede the Constitution, and that any possible abuse by the authorities should be investigated. She argued that social protest was not a crime and that defending that right was part of her responsibility. #DerechosHumanos #ProtestaPacífica #LibertadesCivil (translated)
