This Wednesday 17, four days before the regional elections, the management of Extremadura fired the driver of the regional president, María Guardiola, after learning that this worker had been convicted of minor coercion of his ex-spouse, according to sources from the Executive and regional media like Hoy.
Thus, the same sources clarified that Guardiola had no prior knowledge of the events nor of the existence of a conviction for minor restraint linked to the driver. According to the information disclosed by the Commission, the worker himself informed the President of this situation this morning through an email and a subsequent telephone conversation, in which he recognized a sentence for minor coercion, already served, and asked for “an apology for not having informed him of it beforehand”.
After that, the worker “immediately” made himself available to the President of the Council and, given this situation, he was dismissed.
The spokesperson for the Electoral Commission of the PSOE of Extremadura, Antonio Rodríguez Osuna, had asked this Wednesday the head of the Executive of Extremadura to clarify the veracity of the information published in El Plural according to which his driver “is convicted of gender violence against his ex-spouse and appears in the VioGén system”, an aspect that the Council did not want to talk about.
