The 'Mondongo' from Vox who was directing the police in Granada
A video that has been circulating for days shows a member of Vox, known as 'Mondongo', giving instructions to police officers in Granada, Spain. The footage has reignited the debate over the relationship between politicians and security forces, and over police impartiality at political protests. The recordings show the figure directing officers' movements during a rally, which has been interpreted as an unusual exercise of power.
Who is Mondongo and what is he seen doing?
Mondongo is an activist or local official from Vox who has gained notoriety for his blunt style. In the video, he appears alongside several riot police officers, pointing at them and seemingly giving orders. His gestures and attitude have led many to question whether a politician can legitimately direct the police on the ground, something that in theory falls to police commanders. The release of the footage has triggered a fierce exchange of accusations, with some arguing that it was simply logical coordination at a highly tense event.
The reactions: between defense and outrage
On one hand, some claim Mondongo was acting within his role by overseeing security at his party's event. They argue the police accepted his indications because they were reasonable and involved no illegal orders. On the other hand, the opposition and critical voices denounce an unacceptable interference and a sign of the politicization of the security forces. The debate has turned ugly with insults and threats, highlighting the polarization that any issue involving Vox generates. Some have even mocked the officers' submission, while others remind everyone that the police must remain neutral.
The open question is whether this kind of behavior is an exception or the norm in a party that has made security its banner. Meanwhile, the video keeps circulating and fueling distrust in the impartiality of the police in political contexts.
