Summarization and monitoring of complaints and cases of sexual harassment at the PSOE. The party is investigating a new complaint against socialist Toni Gonzálezmayor of Almussafes and vice-secretary of the PSPV of the province of Valencia, while the the mayor of Belalcázar (Cordoba), resigned for certain text messages with strong sexual content.
In conversation with this newspaper, the accused Toni González denounces being victim of a “set-up” for “revenge”“through the primary process for the leadership of the party in the province of Valencia in which Carlos Fernández Bielsa beat Diana Morant’s candidategeneral secretary of the Valencian federation.
Belonging to the current abalistGonzález is one of the most influential Valencian socialist mayors, since Almussafes – where the Ford factory is located– It is one of the most important municipalities and closest to the metropolitan area of Valencia where the PSPV governs. In fact, Morant included the leader in his executive even though he was close to Bielsa, his internal rival.
González therefore combines his position within the regional executive with that of the provincial executive of Bielsa, of which he is one of the deputy general secretaries and acts in practice as number two. It must be taken into account He says Almussafes’ support for Bielsa’s candidacy ended up tipping the balance of the province in favor of the current provincial leader, and to the detriment of Morant’s candidate, Rober Raga.
As the mayor himself confirmed to this newspaper, the organizing secretary of the PSPV-PSOE, Vicent Mascarell, contacted him to ask him to resign of his accusations, which he refused to do. Likewise, even if he is relieved of his organic responsibilities, he has already announced that he will not give up his position as mayor.
According to the accused politician, the plaintiff is a member of the party that supported the candidacy of Robert Raga, mayor of Ribarroja, in the primaries against Bielsa for control of the party in Valencia. It would be an administrative assistant who works for the public company Empsa, which she also reported previously, a case which ended up being closed as González explains.
The number two of the Valencian socialists complains of “total helplessness” because he does not know what he is being accused of or with what evidence.
