The video of the mayor of Caldes de Malavella has certainly grotesque moments. He brandishes an ax and urges the occupants of a house he owns to desist from their action while one of them records the scene with jerky movements and a girl, with her ass on the ground, remains undaunted by the quarrelsome onslaught of Salvador Balliu. It is not fully understood, because there is certainly violence -at least a visible and forceful threat, with a weapon-, but the quiet girl does not seem to suffer much for her integrity. I honestly don’t think the mayor, as far as I know, envisioned a ‘Texas Chainsaw Massacre’ ending, ax in hand, but it’s clear that such an attitude does not correspond to that of a magistrate of his rank. The opposition has asked him to resign, but in a survey in the ‘Diari de Girona’, in which some 1,000 people have participated, 95% proclaim themselves in favor of the alderman of the destinies of a town that, as they say from the municipal government, has a notable problem of “criminal occupations & rdquor ;. The example he has given is terrifying. It is necessary to understand the level of legal defenselessness, but also to be attentive to this type of vigorous and quarrelsome attacks.
