Life-threatening bullets were sent to Spanish Interior Minister Fernando Grandes-Marlasca and left-wing leader Unidas Podemos. Pablo Iglesias.
“Your wife, your parents and you are being sentenced to the end of your sentence, your time is running out,” the anonymous letter said, according to a photo posted by the former Iglesias minister on Twitter. He even posted a photo with four bullets along with the envelope of the letter.
The interior minister and the head of the Spanish gendarmerie – Guardia Civil – received similar letters, according to Iglesias. Grandes-Marlaska did not make an official comment.
Iglesias has emerged as one of the country’s top political leaders after the creation of the Podemos party in 2014 and the subsequent renaming of Unidas We can, which has become the main organization of the radical left.
The party allied with the center-left Socialist Party in January 2020 to form the country’s first coalition government after the restoration of democracy in the 1970s, the APE-BPE reported, citing Reuters. Iglesias was Minister of Social Rights until March when he resigned to run in the May 4 local elections in Madrid.
Politicians from the ruling coalition, including Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, and from the country’s largest parties, expressed solidarity with Iglesias and Marslaska. However, the far-right Vox and the separatist parties from different parts of the country did not react.
