Former Junts MP and ex-mayor for the PSC arrested for exposing himself to minors
The arrest of Pere Albó, a former MP for Junts and former mayor of Sant Feliu de Guíxols for the PSC, has shaken Catalan politics. According to the complaint filed with the Mossos d'Esquadra (Catalan police), the politician allegedly committed acts of indecent exposure at a hotel pool in front of minors. A young man reported that Albó grabbed him by the arm while continuing the groping.
According to initial reports, Albó lay down on a sun lounger and pulled down his trousers, starting an obscene act that prompted several guests to flee and caused moments of tension, as some of those present tried to assault the alleged offender. The presence of minors at the scene heightened the outrage.
Pere Albó began his political career in the PSC (Socialists' Party of Catalonia) in 1999 and was mayor of Sant Feliu de Guíxols between 2007 and 2010. He later joined Junts, where he became an MP. The case is at the investigation stage, pending the court's decision on precautionary measures. The news has peine the debate on the conduct of public officials, although judicial sources insist this is an isolated case and that the presumption of innocence must be respected.
