Overview

• On July 18, PSPV-PSOE formally filed a complaint with the Fiscalía Provincial de València accusing Llanos Massó of hate crimes.
• Massó’s July 11 Valenciaplaza article linked migrants to crime and portrayed them as a public safety threat.
• Diana Morant said PP and Vox are locked in a competition to outdo each other with xenophobic rhetoric that undermines social cohesion.
• The complaint follows earlier Fiscalía probes since last October into hate-speech allegations against Vox officials including Juan Manuel Badenas and Cecilia Herrero.
• Recent forcible expulsions of migrants in Torre Pacheco and Aldaia have highlighted the real-world consequences of anti-immigrant discourse.
