The photo of councilor Enrique Nogués biting the thong of a stripper leaves the PSOE of Alcalá de Henares in the hands of a manager: 'Someone had to resign'

A controversial photo of PSOE councilor Enrique Nogués biting a stripper's thong has led to significant internal strife within the party, resulting in his resignation and the party being managed by an interim committee.

The incident involving PSOE councilor Enrique Nogués has stirred public outrage after a photograph showed him engaging in a controversial act with a stripper during a local event. The photo captures Nogués leaning forward, with his teeth gripping the thong of a fully naked woman on stage, amid a crowd of cheering men. This provocative display occurred at Encinas Rock Pub during a show organized by the local cultural group, El Juglar, of which Nogués was a part. While meant as entertainment, the imagery and context have sparked intense scrutiny and displeasure among the electorate.

The fallout from this incident has been immediate and severe, leading to Nogués resigning from his position as the secretary of Organization for PSOE in Alcalá de Henares. The party's leadership has decided to place the local branch under the supervision of a management committee to stabilize the situation and address the damage to its reputation. Local party members and leaders have expressed their disappointment, stating that the councilor's actions were unbecoming of a public official, and it was essential for someone to take responsibility and step down to preserve the party's integrity.

This incident highlights broader issues of accountability and conduct among public officials in Spain, especially concerning their representation of political parties. As PSOE seeks to recover from this scandal, it faces the challenge of restoring public trust and reinforcing its values in the face of such controversies. The handling of the situation will be critical for the party's future as they navigate the political landscape in Alcalá de Henares and beyond.
