Los letrados del Congreso consideran que los espráis de gas pimienta son “un arma, incluyendo los homologados”

Un informe incorpora datos de las cámaras de seguridad, que muestran a la diputada Ana Vázquez entregando un objeto a un trabajador del grupo popular poco después de mostrar el aerosol en el hemiciclo

Los letrados del Congreso consideran que los espráis de gas pimienta son “un arma, incluyendo los homologados”

A legal report provided to El País by Congress suggests that the pepper spray displayed by popular deputy Ana Vázquez during a September 23rd event should be considered an "arm." This opens the door for the presiding body to temporarily suspend Vázquez. The report includes security camera footage, showing Vázquez handing an object to a worker for the popular group, who then enters two bathrooms where, shortly after, irritating gases are detected.

As a result, around twenty people experienced intoxication symptoms, with at least three filing complaints. The legal brief does not specify who released the substance or confirm the object given by the popular deputy to her collaborator was indeed the pepper spray (even though the worker admitted to manipulating the container).

Now exposed, Vázquez may face sanctions, ranging from a reprimand to a temporary suspension with a financial penalty.
