Alfonso Serrano has taken Manuela Bergerot’s Assembly remarks to the National Police. The PP wants investigators to assess the words amid protests and threatening imagery at Puerta del Sol.
At the Madrid Assembly on 8 October 2026, Alfonso Serrano, secretary general of the Madrid PP, asked the National Police to examine Manuela Bergerot’s remarks. The PP says the Más Madrid spokesperson acknowledged a physical threat when challenged over her warning that Madrid’s streets would have no peace. The complaint asks investigators to assess possible criminal relevance. It does not claim that a crime has already been established.
The filing came as a camp remained in Puerta del Sol and aggressive messages circulated against Madrid’s public representatives. The PP linked the confrontation in the chamber to images showing Isabel Díaz Ayuso and José Luis Martínez-Almeida beside demands for their heads and representations of coffins. It also asked Government delegate Francisco Martín to guarantee the safety and free political activity of public representatives.
Manuela Bergerot linked her warning about the absence of peace in Madrid's streets to the death of Mari Carmen after an eviction and to the housing crisis, presenting it as a warning about social conflict rather than a direct call for physical violence.
The exchange began when popular party spokesperson Carlos Díaz-Pache asked Bergerot whether her words amounted to a physical threat. According to the complaint and reports by EFE and Europa Press, the PP says Bergerot nodded and repeated that there would be no peace in the streets. Díaz-Pache pressed her to make the alleged threat explicit and told the president of the Assembly that he was being threatened physically. Independent reports describe a heated confrontation, but do not confirm that Bergerot called for an attack or violence.
Serrano wants police to obtain the complete recordings of the parliamentary intervention. He also asked investigators to add protest material to the proceedings, including publications and graphic material connected with Puerta del Sol. Videos linked to the camp are part of the request. The filing puts the full context, wording and possible consequences before investigators, rather than relying on the brief exchange captured in the chamber.
The dispute is unfolding alongside a security concern already tied to the Sol camp. Earlier reporting said police were preparing security measures around Congress as a planned march from Sol moved closer to national institutions. During the same Assembly session, Ayuso also asked whether opposition remarks amounted to a physical threat.
Más Madrid rejected the PP's interpretation after the filing, saying that there would be no social peace until there was justice in housing matters. The party presented Bergerot's words as a political warning about the consequences of the housing crisis, not as a threat directed at specific deputies.
The PP of Madrid separately wrote to Government delegate Francisco Martín. It demanded guarantees that public representatives and political organisations could exercise their rights freely, particularly during an electoral period. The party said responsibility would lie with him for anything that might happen to a party leader or supporter.
The complaint describes the atmosphere as capable of creating serious intimidation that it calls concrete and credible. It argues that this climate could interfere with a freely conducted campaign and the effective exercise of political pluralism. The PP tied those concerns to material displayed or circulated around the Puerta del Sol camp, including hostile images involving Ayuso.
The police filing does not establish that a crime occurred. It asks the National Police to assess the wording and context, along with its possible reach and purpose, against material from the protests. Available reports contain no announcement of criminal proceedings, charges or a judicial finding. The immediate development remains a request for investigation.
The PP says public safety and order cannot be separated from political debate when threats and intimidation are reported around a visible protest site. Más Madrid maintains that the dispute reflects unresolved housing injustice and warns of a loss of social peace. Investigators are being asked to decide whether political language crossed into conduct with criminal significance.
