The Prosecutor's Office of Malaga has taken formal action against Antonio Navarro, the former Secretary General of the PSOE (Spanish Socialist Workers' Party) in the municipality of Torremolinos, following a complaint alleging sexual harassment. The complaint was initiated by a socialist party member who provided dozens of messages illustrating persistent insinuations and proposals from Navarro. This led the Prosecutor's Office to critically assess the evidence, resulting in the decision to file a complaint in the judiciary.

The legal proceedings are focused on several accusations against Navarro, including sexual coercion, attacks on sexual freedom, and violations of personal intimacy. The complaint, lodged earlier this January, has been handed to the Decanal Court of Malaga to be distributed among the courts specializing in cases of violence against women, reflecting the seriousness with which the allegations are treated by the legal system.

The case underscores a larger societal issue concerning the treatment of women within political spheres and organizations. Sexual harassment, especially within political parties, often reveals deeper systemic problems of power dynamics and gender inequality. The investigation will be closely monitored, particularly given that it involves a public figure and could have significant implications for the PSOE and its public image in Spain, as well as the broader discussions surrounding women's rights and workplace safety in politics.
