Key details
Luis Alvise Pérez, leader of the political party Se Acabó la Fiesta (SALF), voluntarily appeared before Judge Manuel Marchena at the Supreme Court to respond to accusations related to a political confrontation involving his ex-colleagues in the European Parliament.
Pérez is currently entangled in four legal cases, including one filed by Diego Solier and Nora Junco, former Europarliament members who defected to Giorgia Meloni's Conservative and Reformists group. They accuse Pérez of orchestrating a smear campaign against them. By voluntarily appearing in court, Pérez avoided the normally prolonged process of lifting his parliamentary immunity.
According to Pérez, the controversy stems from political conflict, and while he admits to sending provocative messages referencing "apisonar la cabeza" (flattening the head) concerning his former colleagues, he denies these were threats. He told the press, "I am convinced of my innocence because I know everything that happened," though he declined to discuss the details due to the case's confidential nature.
Legal sources confirmed Pérez’s admission to sending contentious messages but emphasized he framed them as part of political confrontation rather than threats. The case highlights the increasingly contentious political disputes within Spain's national and European political spheres and the legal scrutiny surrounding political rhetoric and conduct.
As of now, the investigation continues with Pérez maintaining his innocence amid serious allegations that reflect heightened tensions between political factions in Spain.
