Iñigo Errejón, who previously held key positions in Podemos and Más Madrid and was a member of Sumar, announced his withdrawal from politics in October 2024. The decision came after actress Elisa Mouliaá accused him of sexual assault related to an incident in September 2021. Following the allegations, Errejón disappeared completely from the public eye, refusing to comment or participate in public life.
Shortly after his departure, media reports suggested that the former politician may have begun a new venture under a pseudonym. Journalists pointed to a blog on Substack where an author using the alias “Curb” publishes analytical pieces on politics, culture, and leftist strategies. The style and topics of these posts sparked suspicions that Errejón could be behind the pseudonym, though there has been no official confirmation.
The scandal involving the accusations against Errejón provoked significant public outcry and reignited debates about the consistency between politicians’ personal conduct and their public statements. Questions of double standards and personal responsibility among leaders have again taken center stage in Spanish society. The court case is ongoing, and its outcome could determine the future of the former lawmaker.
Erkhon’s public activity virtually ceased after he left politics. He no longer appears at events, gives interviews, or participates in discussions. However, possible literary work under another name suggests an attempt to find a new path for self-realization. Such a move could indicate a desire to distance himself from his former reputation and start a new chapter in life.
Erkhon’s future largely depends on the court’s decision and his personal plans. It remains unclear whether he will return to public life or fully embrace the path of an anonymous author. In any case, his story continues to be discussed in Spain’s political and media circles.
