The Murcia Prosecutor's Office is going to initiate proceedings to investigate the possible acts attributable to a Local Police officer from that city who ordered the performance of the singer Rocío Saiz to be halted last Saturday after she took off her shirt and showed the public her breasts while singing 'Como yo te amo', by Rocío Jurado, according to tax sources reported to Europa Press.
The Local Police of Murcia has also opened an internal investigation to clarify what happened. According to sources from the Local Police consulted by Europa Press, the agent's intervention did not obey "any political instruction" and he "acted on his behalf" at all times.
"What I have just experienced is humiliating, anguishing and very painful," Rocío Saiz said on Monday on her Instagram account, alluding to the attacks she claims to be suffering as a result of the episode. The singer has already reported what happened through her profile on her social networks. "I wish I didn't have to write this again. In the 'Pride' of Murcia, in the same song as always where I have taken off my shirt for 10 years, the police have stopped the concert", she begins her story.
He then stated: "They didn't let me continue if I didn't get dressed. Either I put on my shirt or I was handcuffed. I got dressed, we finished the concert out of respect for the public." Going down the stairs, the singer pointed out that an agent asked her for the documentation, while those attending the concert and members of the organization "have been in the middle."
"Mane and Any have not been allowed to enter the dressing room for our things if I did not speak to the inspector. Book coercion. I have refused, obviously," the artist continued, to point out that the inspector went to look for her on the street "to handcuff me" telling him that "I had broken I don't know how many laws and that I would open a police report for him", all of this, he maintained, shouting.
"I have asked him if he has daughters, to which he has answered yes. And I have asked him: if it were a man would you be denouncing me? And he has told me flatly: no. Because if a man does it, it is not illegal. And I won't let my daughters do something that goes against the law."
Later, according to what was written by the singer, the agent wrote down her personal information and told her "this is what you have voted for." To this, the singer added: "And he is right, the problem is not him. It is what you have voted for." To top it off, she pointed out in her text: "Don't worry, each time (I am) closer to leaving music. To stop exposing the body and to leave everything. Because I don't deserve it."
After learning about the opening of this file to open an internal investigation by the Local Police, the singer has reacted again on her social networks. "That they assume that it has been an abuse of power is the greatest happiness that I can have after the humiliation that we suffered from this man," the artist remarked.
Local Police sources consulted by Europa Press have stated that the Corps is "very sensitive" to this group and that "they have never wanted to disturb anyone's right." In fact, they have recalled that last March they held a conference on the role of women in the police and invited Gaylespol, an LGTBi Police Association.
The candidate number 5 of the PSOE to the Congress of Deputies for the Region of Murcia and general secretary of the Socialist Youth of Murcia, Miguel Company, has assured that the mayor, José Ballesta, "has to give explanations immediately and assume his responsibility for the suspension of the singer Rocío Saiz's concert during Pride for taking off her shirt".
"Mayor José Ballesta has to assume his responsibility and give explanations immediately. He cannot go behind the Local Police to continue hiding. It is a cowardly attitude. Citizens deserve to know if there was any kind of order or indication from the City Council and who gave it", has indicated.
In this sense, the candidate for the Congress of Deputies has indicated that no municipal ordinance has been violated: "In the municipality of Murcia there is no legal norm that prohibits going without a shirt. There is no legal basis to stop the concert. It was an unjustified and disproportionate action", as reported by PSOE sources in a statement.
Company has explained that, during the Pride proclamation last Saturday, several people went up on stage without a shirt and also in the square itself there were people without them. "There was no problem until a woman did it, in this case, the singer Rocío Saiz, on stage," she specified. Likewise, she has specified that in the city of Murcia "we can see women without shirts in comparsas during local festivals such as the Burial of the Sardine, without involving any kind of controversy."
"However, seeing a woman without a shirt on a Pride scene claiming equality and the right of all people to be what they are, has meant it. We cannot remain silent in the face of this double standard," he said.
