The national branch of the Popular Party (PP) in Spain has announced its intention to make public the harassment file concerning the mayor of Móstoles, a case initially reported by El País two weeks ago. Jaime de los Santos, the PP's Deputy Secretary for Equality, revealed this plan during a political debate on the program Espejo Público. He mentioned that he would present the written file on the case in the upcoming broadcast, asserting that the party has maintained written communication throughout the investigation.

The issue came to public attention on February 4 when El País disclosed the allegations of harassment involving the mayor and past city councilor of Móstoles. Since its emergence, the PP has attempted to downplay the situation, referring to it as merely "labor harassment" rather than a more serious allegation of personal harassment. This undermining echoes a broader tendency within political spheres to minimize problematic allegations against prominent party figures.

The decision to release the documentation could have significant implications for both the party and the alleged victim, as it may bring renewed scrutiny to the case. By airing this information publicly, the PP may aim to re-establish its credibility regarding its commitment to gender equality and accountability in cases of alleged misconduct. However, the effectiveness of this move in addressing the concerns raised or its potential to create further controversy remains uncertain.
