A real storm has erupted around Navalmoral de la Mata mayor Enrique Hueso Retamosa. After the publication of materials accusing him of sexism, abuse of power, and even harassment, public attention surged sharply. The mayor has firmly denied all such accusations, calling them not only false but completely unfounded.
In an official statement released as an exercise of his right to reply, Hueso emphasizes that none of the accusations have any real basis. He notes that the documents related to the transition of Paula González Morato, a former representative of the Partido Popular, to the mixed group, contain no mention of any violations or inappropriate conduct by the mayor.
Heart of the controversy
The story began when González Morato decided to leave the Partido Popular and join the municipal council’s mixed group. Several publications framed this move as a response to alleged pressure, sexism, and even harassment from the mayor. However, the mayor insists that these interpretations do not match the facts.
According to him, none of the official documents related to this transition contain even a hint of such allegations. Moreover, Hueso claims that González Morato herself has not filed any such complaints, neither verbally nor in writing.
Documents and statements
To support his position, Enrique Hueso refers to official correspondence and documents provided by both González Morato herself and the municipality. According to him, these materials contain no mention whatsoever of any violations or misconduct on his part.
The mayor emphasizes that any attempt to associate his name with allegations of harassment or abuse of power is nothing but an effort to tarnish his reputation and undermine trust in municipal authorities. He regrets that such rumors and speculation have become so widespread.
Public reaction
The scandal surrounding the mayor has sparked a strong response in the local community. Some are demanding a thorough investigation and greater transparency, while others believe these accusations are simply part of a political struggle and an attempt to destabilize the municipality. Nevertheless, Hueso insists his name was drawn into the scandal without any justification.
He notes that such situations undermine not only his personal reputation but also the work of the entire city council. In the mayor’s view, these allegations can erode citizens’ trust in local government and hinder the normal functioning of the municipality.
The mayor’s stance
Enrique Hueso has publicly declared his innocence and is demanding a public retraction of all accusations, which he says are completely unfounded. He emphasizes that he has always acted within the law and has treated all colleagues with respect, regardless of their political views or party affiliations.
The mayor expresses hope that the situation will be resolved as quickly and fairly as possible and that his name will be cleared of all unfounded accusations. He also calls for respect for the principles of the presumption of innocence and objectivity in reporting on such conflicts.
