Overview
- Six women filed internal complaints accusing José Tomé of inappropriate conduct, prompting his resignation as president of the Lugo provincial council while he retains his provincial deputy seat and his roles in Monforte.
- The PSdeG urged Tomé to hand in his provincial and municipal mandates, announced support for the complainants, and proposed a managing commission for the Lugo organization.
- Party officials said they had no notice of any internal filings because the reporting channel guarantees anonymity, and they pointed to the Órgano contra el Acoso to carry out the investigation.
- The PSOE protocol allows postal, email, or web submissions, requires acknowledgment within seven days, sets a three‑month review period extendable by three more, and foresees referral to prosecutors if potential crimes are detected.
- La Razón reports that two additional unnamed men linked to Moncloa and the Socialist parliamentary group are under scrutiny, and ABC reports around a dozen women are considering publicly identifying alleged harassers.
