To do this, a total of 720 seats will have to be elected. Germany is the one that will give the most, with a total of 96, followed by France (81), Italy (76) and, in fourth position, Spain (61).

To this end, Alvise Pérez, who has spread disinformation on numerous occasions, announced through his social networks that he would run for election to the European Parliament. “Let’s take out the dirty laundry in the face of all the political and media ilk in our country, using against them the same judicial shield that all of them have used to hide,” he said in the announcement that he shared on Instagram.

Pérez has already been convicted on different occasions for spreading hoaxes. In March 2023, Justice sentenced the former mayor of Madrid Manuela Carmena to pay 5,000 euros for spreading the hoax on Twitter that she had received a respirator at her house during the coronavirus pandemic in 2020, something that was false. He has also been sentenced to compensate former minister José Luis Ábalos with 60,000 euros for publishing from his house without consent, or for illegitimate interference with the right to the journalist Ana Pastor’s own image.
