The Minister of the Interior, Fernando Grande-Marlaska, has stated that he will resign only if he believes that the complainant of the Deputy Operational Director of Police (DAO), José Ángel González, has failed him.

In Congress, Marlaska has thus responded to PP Congresswoman Mirian Guardiola,amid cries of "resignation, resignation," for the complaint filed against the officer for a sexual assault offence. The minister has insisted that the only person who will accept his opinion is the victim himself.

Marlaska acknowledges that the facts complained of are 'extremely serious'and challenges the PP to repeat outside the Chamber that he was aware of the facts and did nothing, warning him that 'we will see each other in other instances'.

The Minister of the Interior has urged the PP not to create a curtain that calls into question the commitment of the National Police and the Security Forces to the fight against violence against women and has challenged the PP to repeat what has been said inside outside the Chamber.

Popular MP Mirian Guardiola had previously accused Marlaska of covering up the facts and asked her to resign on charges of allowing an alleged aggressor to be in charge of the National Police and of being a "coward".
