Overview

• RTVE director Sergio Calderón is cited for November 3 at 10:00 in Pozuelo in a case initiated by Judge Juan Carlos Peinado.
• Pablo Iglesias’ August 21 remarks on TVE’s ‘Malas Lenguas’ included saying people may be right to call Peinado a prevaricator and predicting he would go unpunished.
• Peinado demands a public apology on the same program, removal of the relevant content, recognition that the accusation is false, and €60,000 in moral damages.
• The court admitted the conciliation for Calderón and asked Peinado to provide Iglesias’ home address or DNI, noting a workplace address does not establish territorial jurisdiction.
• Peinado warns he will file injurias and calumnias complaints if there is no settlement, while Iglesias has refused to retract and accused some magistrates of acting politically.
