Iglesias father claims compensation of 18,000 euros for moral damages Precisely, Iglesias son wanted to defend his father at the time from the accusation made by the popular representative Now, it will be the court that decides if Francisco Javier Iglesias’ lawsuit is successful Cayetana Álvarez de Toledo, deputy of the Popular Group in Congress, will go to trial this Wednesday, November 2, for addressing Pablo Iglesias in 2020 in parliament as “son of a terrorist”.

Iglesias father claims compensation of 18,000 euros for moral damages, a request that he will defend in the Investigating Court number 3 of Zamora, where the trial against Álvarez de Toledo is scheduled to take place. The defendant already stated at the time that, “in the face of the son’s father’s demand”, she would defend her right “to tell the truth”. One of the arguments put forward by the plaintiff is that the attack by Álvarez de Toledo was carried out from the public speaker who offered him his position as spokesman for the Popular Party in Congress, and with the aim of attacking a political opponent without noticing that the person affected was an anonymous person, with no more media interest than that provided by being the father of the then leader of United We Can.

The convicted person was forced to pay 15,000 euros and make the content of the sentence public on his Twitter account.
