The PP deputy described the situation through her profile on He added that he called De Miguel, "to try to clarify what happened, but he didn't want to pick up the phone."
Valencia pointed out that he trusts in the rule of law, because he assures that he would never "threaten anyone, much less a child," and that is why he has "a very clear conscience." He stressed: "I am in politics to improve the lives of Extremadurans and not for confrontation and noise", and wanted to emphasize that the fact of being "political rivals" should not prevent them from speaking "sincerely and honestly."
