Paloma Lago Returns to Work, Declines Comment on Complaint Against Ex-Galician Minister

The complaint alleging a December 27 assault by Alfonso Villares remains under judicial investigation in Ferrol following his resignation.

Overview

  • Lago hosted the GreenWalk Awards in Barcelona and told reporters she could not discuss the matter because it is judicialized.
  • She ratified her complaint on April 7 at Juzgado de Instrucción nº2 de Ferrol after an earlier filing with the National Police’s family and women’s unit.
  • Alfonso Villares resigned as conselleiro do Mar on June 4 after the Galician high court notified him he was under investigation, and he asserted his innocence.
  • The loss of aforado status moved the case to the Ferrol court, where an overloaded docket has been cited as a potential source of delay.
  • People close to Villares say he will focus on his legal defense, while Lago made a brief public appearance in Ferrol on September 21.
