  "account": "Jordi de la Fuente, the leading candidate for Vox in Tarragona, is set to face trial in July next year for the assault on a children's center in El Masnou, Barcelona, in July 2019, which resulted in four injuries. The prosecutor charges the Vox candidate and Solidaridad union secretary general with the crime of \"incitement to hatred, hostility, violence, or discrimination based on national origin\" and seeks two years and two months in prison, along with the accessory penalty of disqualification from voting (presenting as a candidate in popular elections), five years of special disqualification for jobs related to minors, a nine-month fine, and a ban on approaching within 300 meters of the shelter. If convicted, De la Fuente would be unable to stand in the November 29th elections, but the dispute over which authority should prosecute the case has kept the matter pending for seven years after the incident occurred.",
