Aspe Mayor Backed After Van Fire Amid Threats

The United Left party, to which the mayor of Aspe, Antonio Puerto, belongs, has publicly supported the first citizen following the arson attack on his father’s van that occurred in the early hours of Friday. This incident comes two weeks after Puerto received a threat from the owner of the local gallera known as El Chato, which had been shut down by municipal order due to the organization of rooster fights. The timing has raised questions about whether the two events are connected, but investigators from the Guardia Civil have not yet determined any definite link. The mayor’s supporters emphasize that the threat and the vandalism pose a serious challenge to those who are responsible for upholding public safety and the rule of law in the municipality.
