In a disturbing incident that has captured national attention, a PSOE councillor from Lorquí, Víctor Sáez, has reported being the victim of a homophobic attack at a kebab restaurant in Murcia during the Bando de la Huerta festivities. According to Sáez, the altercation began when he was denied access to the restaurant's bathroom, leading to verbal abuse and physical violence from the staff, including homophobic slurs and threats.
The restaurant owners, a Pakistani family, have countered these allegations by filing their own complaint against Sáez, accusing him of racist remarks towards them. This has resulted in a complex situation where both parties have lodged hate crime complaints against each other, with the incident now under police investigation.
The incident was partially captured on video, showing a worker assaulting Sáez, which has since gone viral, sparking a wider debate on hate crimes in Spain. The footage has led to public outcry and has raised questions about the prevalence of homophobia and racism in society.
As the case unfolds, both sides stand by their accounts, with the truth yet to be fully ascertained by authorities. The incident has highlighted the need for greater tolerance and understanding in communities, as well as the importance of addressing hate crimes with the seriousness they deserve.
