Granada, (EFE).- A Court of Motril (Granada) has archived the proceedings opened as a result of the complaint that the former Vox candidate for the presidency of the Junta de Andalucía, Macarena Olona, filed against the mayoress of Salobreña ( Granada), María Eugenia Rufino (PSOE), for possible electoral crime, administrative prevarication and violation of rights.
The complaint filed last May against the councilor, to which Vox attributed “caciquil actions” and violation of Olona’s privacy, occurred after the City Council of this town on the Costa Tropical of Granada initiated an ex officio deregistration procedure for the registration of Olona in this municipality.
In addition, the Electoral Board of Granada had rejected the request presented by the Andaluces Levantaos coalition against the Vox candidacy, headed by Olona, considering that there was “no legal obstacle” to its proclamation.
In an order, to which EFE has had access this Thursday and against which there is an appeal, the Court of First Instance and Instruction 5 of Motril agrees to the provisional dismissal and filing of the proceedings, after the Prosecutor’s Office requested it.
The resolution explains that, in accordance with the request of the Public Prosecutor’s Office and the criminal process being governed by the accusatory principle, said dismissal of the proceedings is appropriate, given that -for the procedure to continue- the existence of an accusation is necessary and in the same there are no other people.
In its report, the Prosecutor’s Office interested the file for not having been “duly justified” the commission of the crime that gave rise to the formation of the case.
The mayor’s assessment
This case originates from the complaint that Macarena Olona filed with the Civil Guard of Salobreña on May 23, when she was a Vox candidate for the presidency of the Junta de Andalucía.
The mayoress of Salobreña had initiated a few days before ex officio the procedure for Olona’s removal from the municipal register in which she was registered, all based on what the complainant considered “supposed unverified manifestations of other residents of the municipality” , includes the brief of the Prosecutor’s Office presented before the court, to which EFE has also had access.
“We have no indications that the action of the denounced mayoress could have caused manifest harm to the complainant, since only three days after the initiation of the notice of the discharge file, she already knew that whatever the meaning of its completion, this could not affect his candidacy, “said the Prosecutor’s Office.
Once the dismissal of the complaint has been notified, the mayoress of Salobreña, María Eugenia Rufino, plans to offer a press conference this Friday to assess this judicial decision. EFE
