PSOE Apologizes for Handling of Paco Salazar Harassment Allegations as Internal Review Proceeds

Press reports now put the number of alleged victims at four.

Overview

  • In an internal note to party leaders, the PSOE acknowledged it had not sufficiently supported the women who filed anonymous complaints against Francisco Salazar.
  • The party says its Órgano contra el Acoso is examining the cases under the established protocol and will issue a conclusions report with proposed measures.
  • La Razón reports two additional complaints beyond those previously known, bringing the reported total to four.
  • Media accounts detail testimonies alleging a hostile work environment with humiliating behavior, hypersexualized language, and episodes including exhibitionism and simulated sexual acts.
  • Coverage says complaints were first raised internally in July and languished without follow-up, prompting internal criticism, and Faro de Vigo reports Salazar left his PSOE membership last week.
