Elisa Mouliaá reverses her decision and keeps up her case against Errejón
What makes an alleged victim withdraw her complaint and, days later, come back fighting even harder? Actress Elisa Mouliaá explained it with a video and a phrase that leaves no room for misreading: "Now they've really crossed the line with me". A change of course that points directly at the Spanish public prosecutor's office.
Mouliaá had withdrawn her complaint of sensual abuse against Íñigo Errejón last Wednesday. However, the prosecutors' decision to request the acquittal of the former Sumar MP triggered an unexpected about-turn. "He must not go unpunished", she declared on social media, confirming that she will press on with the case.
Reactions were not long in coming. While some question the actress's consistency, others defend her right to change her mind in the face of what she sees as a "mysterious" performance by the prosecution service. Either way, the case has once again placed the institution at the centre of political and judicial debate.
For now, the case continues, with a complainant promising a fight and an accused man maintaining his innocence. Don't expect a quick resolution.
