Spanish City Council under Fire as Aide Accused of Homophobic Remarks
Badajoz, Spain – The socialist Party (PSOE) of badajoz is demanding the immediate dismissal of a key aide to Mayor Ignacio Gragera, following the surfacing of allegedly homophobic social media posts. Leonor Celdrán fernández, a trusted advisor to the Mayor, is accused of publishing disparaging remarks targeting the LGBTQ+ community and personal attacks against PSOE representatives on her Facebook profile.
The PSOE argues that Celdrán Fernández’s alleged statements are fundamentally incompatible with holding any public office,particularly a position of trust within the city council. “It is intolerable that someone who insults and degrades others based on their sexual orientation or way of thinking is at the orders of the Mayor,” a PSOE statement read. “Whoever represents this city must do so with respect, not with hatred.”
The controversy centers around two screenshots of Facebook posts reportedly made by Celdrán Fernández. According to the PSOE, one post claims that “homosexuality is habitual in the PSOE,” while another expresses concern about declining reproduction rates, adding, “as far as I see, most of them are gay.”
