Overview

• The facade of the Partido Popular's Valencia headquarters was defaced with graffiti labeling the party 'asesinos' and its regional leader Carlos Mazón as 'criminal.'
• The vandalism included inverted images of the President of the Generalitat and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, with the phrase 'Hagámoslos caer.'
• The graffiti featured radical Catalan independentist symbols, linking the act to broader political tensions in the region.
• The PP filed an official complaint, describing the attack as anonymous and cowardly, and attributed it to social and political polarization irresponsibly fueled by certain parties.
• The incident comes ahead of next week's European People’s Party congress in Valencia, where Ursula von der Leyen is scheduled to attend, adding further political context to the act.
