The biggest problem that Eustasio López has at the moment is called Podemos
The biggest problem that Eustasio López has at the moment is called Podemos. The communist party is the owner of the Canary Islands Institute of Equality (ICI) and the purple ones have been in person since the time of CC as a private accusation because some minors from the group of 18 Lovas were in regional custody. When José Miguel Barragán was the CC head of the ICI, his department appeared. And, now Podemos, has come out on top.
José Saramago's sister-in-law and Podemos deputy in the Canary Islands Parliament, María del Río, said this Wednesday that "the judge is sending six people to trial for prostitution of minors in the 18 lovas case. Let the full weight of the law fall." "about those disgusting beings, infamous and heartless, pimps, pedophiles and whores. Leave the girls and boys alone." Carmen Sánchez Ruano, from Podemos in Gran Canaria, said on Twitter that "in a society that accepts that women can be bought and sold and even more so if they are powerful men who do it, this is good news."
The former chief of the National Police in the Canary Islands, José María Moreno, said in 2020 that several of the girls involved in the '18 Lovas' case resided in juvenile centers in the autonomous community. Likewise, he has explained that "police wise" the case is practically closed and that all proceedings have been passed to the Investigative Court No. 2 of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.
"The Police did a good job following the complaints that were made. It was done with great discretion, taking into account, above all, the age of the victims, the events and those involved," he said.
In statements to Onda Cero, he said that now it is the courts that request some police action, clarifying that it is already a judicial procedure, not a police procedure 'per se'. Moreno has stated that several of the minors involved were in shelters in the autonomous community. "They are semi-free centers," he continued, "and it is difficult to keep these people there," to add that these matters, and even more so with minors of this type, make the victims "double victims."
