The PSOE headquarters in La Laguna dawns covered in graffiti: “Friend of Tito Berni”

He PSOE of The lagoonin Tenerife, has condemned this Thursday the “act of vandalism” committed against the facade of his campus during this morning. As indicated by the party, the exterior of the building was painted with black paint, on the posters of its candidate for mayor (and current municipal councilor) Luis Yeray Gutiérrez. In addition to crossing out the candidate’s fall, you can read “friend of Tito Berni”.

“These types of actions, which are not happening for the first time, are actually an attack on democratic processes,” explains the formation. “There is no justification for those who supposedly believe in democracy to carry out these unacceptable acts,” she adds.

The PSOE of La Laguna states that “democracy is freedom of demonstration and expression, but it can never be related to violence. Therefore, this party is studying the possibility of reporting this attack to the competent authorities to protect, fundamentally, coexistence and civility, also during electoral processes.

The PSOE of La Laguna has reiterated that there is no cause that can justify the use of violence and has recalled that it is not a freedom that any political force can appropriate. Finally, the PSOE of La Laguna has invited to defend the ideas where it should be done, which is none other than at the polls on May 28.

Days before, the party’s electoral posters on a central avenue in the island capital were also vandalized. In this case, it was the mayoral candidate herself, Patricia Hernández, who shared on her social networks several photos of an individual while she was tearing down part of the posters placed on the central Avenida Veinticinco de Julio. The man wore a Spanish flag with the Francoist eagle on his clothes. “Mr. with the eagle on the shirt, we already know that you don’t like democracy very much and you don’t like my posters, but I have bad news for you: We are more. Go back to the Cave,” the socialist candidate wrote on Twitter.

Among the responses to his tweet, some people mentioned that the PSOE posters and also those of United Sí Podemos were also being vandalized in La Laguna.
