Paloma Lago speaks out: provisional dismissal, but she won't back down
Galician model and TV presenter Paloma Lago has reappeared after 16 months of silence to insist that her sensual harassment complaint against former Galician regional minister Alfonso Villares "is not over". In an interview with ¡Hola! magazine, coinciding with her 59th birthday, Lago questions the provisional dismissal of the case.
The legal background
The complaint, filed more than a year ago, was provisionally dismissed by the Galician courts. Villares, who held ministerial posts in Alberto Núñez Feijóo's regional government, has seen his political career cut short by the case. Lago, however, maintains that the process is not definitively closed and that she will keep fighting.
Mixed reactions
While some support the complainant and believe the dismissal does not close the debate on the credibility of victims, others are sceptical and critical of her, questioning her motives and the veracity of the events. The polarisation reflects the complexity of harassment cases in the political sphere.
What happens next?
With the case provisionally dismissed, the possibility of reopening depends on new evidence. Lago has announced that she will not give up, while Villares maintains his innocence. The case remains alive in public opinion.
