The PP has reported Manuela Bergerot to the Policía Nacional after her comments about unrest in Madrid. The complaint follows the death of Maricarmen, who was evicted days earlier.
Alfonso Serrano, secretary general of the PP of Madrid, submitted the complaint after a plenary session in the Asamblea de Madrid. The party says Manuela Bergerot’s warning about unrest in the capital could amount to a physical threat.
Bergerot is Más Madrid’s spokesperson in the regional chamber. According to Europa Press, the complaint asks the Policía Nacional to assess whether her words could have criminal or administrative significance. It also requests an examination of the full parliamentary recording and related material, including publications and videos linked to the protests.
Maricarmen Abascal was evicted in Madrid on 23 September, spent about 15 days in hospital and died on 7 October at Gregorio Marañón Hospital.
Bergerot said there would be no peace in Madrid’s streets after Maricarmen’s death. The PP rejected that as a purely political statement. Isabel Díaz Ayuso challenged Bergerot during the session and asked whether she was threatening politicians physically.
Carlos Díaz-Pache, the PP spokesperson, pressed the same point more forcefully. His intervention kept the dispute alive inside the chamber and shifted attention from the housing case to the possible meaning of Bergerot’s words. The account cited in the complaint and in the Asamblea’s Diario de Sesiones says Bergerot confirmed that there would be no peace in Madrid’s streets.
The PP also wrote to the Government delegate.
The party asked Government delegate Francisco Martín to guarantee order and protection for PP politicians, activists and supporters. The complaint was made amid heightened tension and a protest encampment around Puerta del Sol, where the PP also called for possible coercion and breaches of public order to be stopped.
In the letter, the party says Francisco Martín will be responsible for anything that happens to a PP leader, officeholder, member or supporter in Madrid. That takes the dispute beyond the Assembly and assigns political responsibility to the central government’s representative in the region.
The immediate trigger was Maricarmen’s death after her eviction. Maricarmen Abascal was 87. She was removed from her home in Madrid on 23 September, spent about 15 days in hospital and died on 7 October at Gregorio Marañón Hospital.
According to the Sindicato de Inquilinas, an agreement was eventually reached that was meant to let her return home. It took effect too late. The case turned a rent dispute into a wider housing flashpoint.
PP chairman Alberto Núñez Feijóo offered condolences to Maricarmen’s family while warning against turning her death into a party campaign or an exercise in political exploitation.
That background drove the confrontation in the regional chamber. Más Madrid presented Bergerot’s words as a reaction to a death that had shaken the housing debate. The PP treated them as a warning aimed at its people and responded through the police and the Government delegate.
The legal question remains open. The available reports confirm that the PP filed its complaint and asked police to examine a possible offence. They do not report criminal proceedings, charges against Bergerot or an official assessment from prosecutors.
