Podemos spokesperson Carlos Monsonís faces backlash for targeting journalist

Carlos Monsonís, the Podemos spokesperson in Valencia, has faced intense criticism following social media posts targeting journalist and influencer David Santos. The controversy began after Monsonís shared an image of Santos on X, accompanied by a message stating, ‘Remember this pig face and that he has nowhere to hide.’

The incident was triggered by Santos’s critical commentary regarding the political discourse surrounding the eviction of Maricarmen Abascal. Santos had questioned the use of the situation for political purposes, noting the specifics of the woman's pension and rental contract.

Online reactions have been largely critical of Monsonís, with many users condemning the attempt to intimidate a media professional and accusing the political representative of using aggressive tactics.
