The National Police have identified the individual who allegedly attacked a postman who was distributing electoral material in the Malaga municipality of Vélez-Málaga. This event, the proceedings of which have been transferred to the judicial authority, was denounced by the CCOO and served as a basis for the PSOE to accuse the PP of “sowing hatred” for its repeated complaints about incidents in voting by mail..

Police sources informed this newspaper that the alleged attacker slapped the Post Office worker, who was delivering in the Carabanchel area, a conflictive neighborhood that has been the scene of numerous anti-drug operations and where a shooting took place at the beginning of the month..

The aforementioned union, in statements to the EFE agency, explained that the public employee was rebuked from a balcony, but believed it was a joke and agreed to the block to carry out the distribution.. According to CCOO, the neighbor went downstairs, approached the postman, punched him, took the pile of envelopes that the victim had in his hand, threw them and threw the delivery car onto the road..

The event occurred last Saturday on Autumn Street in the town of Veleña and the injuries suffered by the worker were minor, a circumstance for which the person investigated was not arrested and, after being identified, the judicial authority was informed..

The postman, who was hurt by the punch and was shocked by the events, chose to continue working “by virtue of his commitment to the neighbors” so that they receive the documentation on time and “out of camaraderie” with the employees of his unit, said the aforementioned union sources..

The events occurred during a distribution for the elections in overtime and forced Correos to activate the planned protocol, communicate what happened to Occupational Risk Prevention and offer the employee psychological assistance.

This alleged aggression was used by the PSOE to harshly charge the PP for their complaints about the operation of voting by mail. The person in charge of verbalizing the reproaches was the number one to the Congress of Deputies for Malaga, Mari Nieves Ramírez, who accused the popular of “sowing hatred”.

“I want to express my solidarity on behalf of the entire PSOE with the Post Office worker who was attacked in Vélez-Málaga when he was doing his job, when he delivered the votes, the ballots, to be able to vote freely on Sunday,” he said at a campaign event in which the Minister of the Presidency, Félix Bolaños, participated..

The candidate explained that “a madman has attacked her”, but added that “the person responsible is the PP and Feijóo, who are spreading hatred and questioning public institutions such as the Post Office”. “We are not going to allow it”, because “Spain does not deserve so many lies or so much hate”.
