Vox Palma has published a statement in which it qualifies as “intolerable that the councilor of Més, Neus Truyolhas dared to pour intoaccusations of a personal nature and insinuations very serious against the honorability of one of our councilors. It is striking that, precisely, it is Neus Truyol, a person who has always demanded respect for judicial or non-judicial actions that affected him, and that, by the way, some of them were proven.
Truyol, as soon as he became aware of the arrest of the leader of this entity, stated that “the Vox councilor Jero Mayans In recent years he has been the right hand of the Federation of Gypsy Associations of the Balearic Islands whose president is Charlie».
After wondering if there would be any connection between this criminal plot and the Vox councilor, Truyol urged Jero Mayans and his party “to give explanations,” in statements to a local newspaper.
Vox Palma's response has not been long in coming to these demonstrations. The formation led in Palma by the councilor and spokesperson, Fulgencio Coll, has warned the pro-independence councilor that «He is not going to allow the honorability to be questioned of any of our councilors, as Neus Truyol has done, taking advantage of the news of the arrest of the president of a federal entity that represents a vulnerable group, and with which our municipal group has worked for the good of this group, to sow doubt about our councilor. In politics not everything goes and “There are red lines that cannot and should not be crossed.”
For this reason, it has been advanced that from the legal services of Vox Nacional “The possibility of filing a complaint is being considered against Neus Truyol for violation of the right to honor of our councilor.
The accusations made by Neus Truyol are, according to the statement, “clearly retaliation for having been urged by the municipal group Vox for its disapproval, which was finally approved in the plenary session of the City Council.
