"We will demand accountability for the damage inflicted on the Greenpeace activist," said the island secretary of the PSOE of Lanzarote, María Dolores Corujo Berriel, who pointed out that "From the PSOE we condemn the use of the Spanish Navy as REPSOL's security guards, when their obligation is to defend the rights of citizens."
For the island head of the PSOE, "the use of the navy, trained for combat situations, to control a protest is intolerable. In any case, the Civil Guard should have intervened, which is a body with police training, so its protocols of action would not give rise to the scenes that we have seen in the video that has been disseminated."
María Dolores Corujo has assured that "we will take this aggression to Parliament, the use of force against protests must be measured and proportional, and should never endanger the physical integrity of those who legitimately express their disagreement."
"We thank Greenpeace for its commitment to the fight against prospecting," concludes the socialist leader, who states that "the internationalization of the open conflict between the Canary Islands and the government of the Popular Party thanks to the intervention of Greenpeace or the work of the European Parliament, bring us closer and closer to the moment when this outrage can be stopped."
