The second vice president of the Valencian Government and candidate of Unides Podem-Esquerra Unida for the presidency of the Generalitat, Héctor Illueca, has recovered his Twitter account this Sunday afternoon, blocked after denouncing extreme right groups a tweet about a campaign event related to photovoltaic plants.
Illueca explained that this Saturday, May 20, “his Twitter account was suspended by this social network”, preventing him from accessing and carrying out any type of activity on it. The cause of the suspension, according to @TwitterEspana, “is the publication of a tweet about a campaign event.”
“These events occur seven days after decisive elections for the Valencian Community, of which I am the current vice president and in which I will be a candidate for the presidency on behalf of Unides Podem. It seems to me an extremely serious and harmful situation for our democracy ”, he commented.
In recent weeks, as he has assured, his political force has been “excluded from some electoral debates, has been silenced by RTVE and has suffered gross manipulations by some media; now they try to silence our voice in one of the main social networks”
According to Illueca, “it is not an isolated incident, the same thing has happened to other colleagues in my training, such as Pilar Lima, it rains, it pours” since “Podemos has been suffering for years from a campaign of media violence and judicial harassment that degrades our democracy” and He added that “the problem is that they exist.”
The Unides Pode-Esquerra Unida candidate has confirmed that “after assessing the situation, and in response to @TwitterEspana’s request”, he has proceeded “to delete the tweet in order to recover the account”, knowing that this leaves him “at a situation of absolute defenselessness” to continue expressing himself “in the public space for the rest of the campaign”.
The aforementioned tweet said the following: “Today I have been in Requena, Utiel and Buñol, talking with various associations, entities and neighbors. The inland regions are unanimous: the deployment of renewables must be done while protecting our territory. Energy transition, yes, but not at any price”.
“I sincerely hope that all political forces, all of them, can freely express their ideas and opinions in this electoral campaign. Mine too. Citizens deserve a clean democracy and we will not stop until we achieve it”, concluded Illueca.
