Javier Camacho, current councilor of the UPY, has filed a lawsuit against a "reporter" for "serious slander and libel" because he had accused him of "buying votes." As he mentions on his Facebook account, "we are in a state of law and I fully trust the decisions of the Justice so that everyone respects and is respected," he adds.
Camacho has gone to court after the publication of a video on social media in which a "reporter" appears accusing some members of UPY of the alleged "vote buying in Playa Blanca." A fact that was denounced by the citizen and Coalición Canaria in the Electoral Board and that was dismissed.
Both Javier Camacho and the UPY candidate for Mayor, Óscar Noda, have reacted to this. Camacho makes it clear that "this gentleman has come out of the burrow like every four years." Something to which they argue that "he has to be working with someone, otherwise he wouldn't come out."
In addition, he asks that "we continue the path towards the democratic appointment of May 28, confronting ideas and projects without lending ourselves to the interested dirty game that blurs participation."
For his part, Óscar Noda, in an interview for Radio-Lanzarote-Onda cero, recognizes that it is a complaint based on "videos that are harassment." And that after its resolution, "everything has been dismissed" due to "lack of evidence in the allegations." He confirms that "provocation is being sought" and that "these lack of respect are those in which we cannot fall," he acknowledges. Those who filed the complaint with the Electoral Board have been "the one who recorded the video and the lawyer of CC", he explains.
He recalls that "we have already won several battles," since "they have denounced us even for electoral posters." In addition, we must point out that "things are being done legally" and that there is currently an "unfounded harassment and demolition" towards UPY.
"Violation of fundamental rights and accusations of quite serious crimes"
Due to the continuous "violation of fundamental rights and accusations of quite serious crimes," the colleagues who have suffered it have also "filed lawsuits," Noda admits. Now it only remains for "justice to decide," he concludes.
