Murcia (EFE) at the moment when the singer Rocío Saiz took off her shirt and showed her breasts.
The head of the Prosecutor’s Office, José Luis Díaz Manzanera, told Efe this Monday that the investigation has been opened ex officio to find out if the inspector, who forced the singer to cover herself to resume her performance, committed some type of crime.
In principle, it will be seen if this conduct fits into a crime of coercion, which will determine the development of the proceedings that will be carried out.
They will begin by collecting the reports that the acting forces have been able to write, such as the Local Police itself, and then call the inspector to testify.
The headquarters of that body has announced, also this Monday, that a file has been opened on the agent to find out if with his actions he also incurred in any disciplinary offense and if he exceeded his powers.
political instruction
According to municipal sources, the policeman who interrupted the concert “acted on his own”, so in that decision, they add, there has been “no political instruction”.
On Saturday, while Saiz sang a version of “Cómo yo te amo”, by Rocío Jurado, a young woman from the organization of the concert, framed in the LGTBI Pride acts, informed the singer of the police order while covering her breasts with a flag multicolored between whistles from the public.
On her official Twitter account, the singer commented on what happened in Murcia. She recalled that she has been doing the same with that song for a decade, but on Saturday a policeman stopped the recital and warned that she would not let him continue if she did not get dressed.
The artist complied and ended the concert “out of respect for the public.” When he went downstairs, the agent asked for his documentation, says Saiz.
“The inspector has come to look for me on the street to handcuff me, telling me that I had broken I don’t know how many laws and that he opened a police report yelling at me,” the singer added on her Twitter account.
“I can not anymore”
Saiz ironized that if it had been a man who had taken off his shirt, nothing would have happened, since “apparently that is not prohibited by law.”
And he warned: “I can’t take it anymore, I don’t have fun anymore and I won’t put my body in anymore. Let others do it, let others fight, let’s see how many put themselves forward to truly fight for our rights, ”she lamented.
The concert took place last Saturday at the end of a parade by the organization ‘No te Prives’ to claim the rights of the LGTBI collective, within a City Council program in which the performance of Rocío Saiz was part.
Both the police and the city council have shown this Monday their sensitivity towards the LGTBI collective and their regret for what happened.
