Four people were detained on Wednesday night at an unauthorized gathering outside the Alcalá de Henares reception center after the arrest of a 21-year-old Malian national as the alleged perpetrator of a sexual assault committed on June 28.
Sources from the Government Delegation in Madrid have informed Europa Press that of the four detainees, three were arrested for public disorder and the other for resisting authority.
The unauthorized gathering was organized through social media and supported, among others, by ‘Revuelta’, the youth organization supported by Vox.
The protest witnessed moments of tension between the protesters, some of whom carried Spanish flags, and the police officers, who had to intervene.
Young man from Mali arrested as the alleged perpetrator of sexual assault near the immigrant center in Alcalá
The National Police confirmed on Wednesday the arrest of a 21-year-old young man of Malian nationality staying at the Emergency Reception Center in Alcalá de Henares as the alleged perpetrator of a sexual assault committed on June 28, as confirmed by sources consulted by Europa Press.
The arrest took place on Tuesday around 3:00 p.m., according to police sources, who indicate that the suspect was identified and located after an investigation, leading to his arrest for sexual assault and injuries.
The incident occurred around 7:00 p.m. on June 28 on the dirt road surrounding the ‘Primo de Rivera’ Paratrooper Brigade barracks, where the reception center is located by order of the Ministry of Migrations.
POLITICAL REACTION
Meanwhile, the Mayor of Alcalá de Henares, Judith Piquet, has demanded that the Government Delegate, Francisco Martín, appear publicly before the public to inform and «ease the anxiety» caused by the arrest of the alleged perpetrator of the assault at the Emergency and Referral Reception Center (CAED).
In a statement, the mayor regretted «the social alarm» attributed to a «lack of official information» from the Government Delegation, «which has not provided essential data to the public.»
The Vox spokesperson in the Madrid Assembly, Isabel Pérez Moñino, visited Alcalá this afternoon and accused the bipartisan system of «silencing» the «insecurity generated by massive illegal immigration.»
