Paloma Lago files sensual assault complaint against Galician government minister

Model and presenter Paloma Lago has filed a incivil complaint against a minister of the Galician regional government (Xunta de Galicia), whose identity has not been publicly disclosed. According to the complaint, the alleged incident occurred on December 27, 2024. The news, which became public in June 2025, has triggered significant political and media uproar.

The minister, whose resignation has already been requested and accepted, reportedly had a romantic relationship with Lago since the previous summer. Lago's circle states that a relative found her naked and disoriented at her home trinc the alleged incident, prompting a call to emergency services.

The news coincides with a period of high political tension, leading some to speculate about possible motives or counterattack strategies between parties. The minister's resignation is seen as an attempt to contain the scandal, though the political implications, particularly for the Galician People's Party (PP), remain to be determined.

The case highlights the complexity of personal relationships in the public sphere and their potential consequences. Judicial investigation must now clarify the facts and determine the validity of the complaint, while public opinion is divided between those supporting the accuser and those demanding caution until guilt is proven.

Paloma Lago's age, born in 1967, and the minister's age, 55, have been subjects of comment, as well as both of their professional trajectories. The incident recalls other cases that have affected politics in the past, demonstrating that personal dynamics can have a significant impact on the public sphere.
