The Murcia Prosecutor's Office is going to initiate proceedings to investigate the possible acts attributable to a Local Police officer from that city who ordered the performance of the singer Rocío Saiz to be halted last Saturday after she took off her shirt and showed the public her breasts while singing 'Como yo te amo', by Rocío Jurado, according to tax sources reported to Europa Press.
The Local Police of Murcia, likewise, has opened an internal investigation and a file to clarify the action. "With this investigation we are going to determine the responsibility of the inspector, if any is derived; the action was not correct and that is why a file is opened," they explained to elDiario.es from the Local Police of Murcia.
According to sources from the Local Police consulted by Europa Press, the agent's intervention did not obey "any political instruction" and he "acted on his own" at all times.
Saiz denounced the event through his profile on social networks and showed his outrage at what happened. "I wish I didn't have to write this again. In the 'Pride' of Murcia, in the same song as always where I have taken off my shirt for 10 years, the police have stopped the concert", he begins his story.
"They wouldn't let me continue if I didn't get dressed. Either I put on my shirt or I was handcuffed. I got dressed, we finished the concert out of respect for the public." Going down the stairs, the singer points out that an agent asked her for the documentation, while those attending the concert and members of the organization "have been in the middle."
The artist assures that the inspector went to look for her on the street "to handcuff me" telling her that "I had broken I don't know how many laws and that I would open a police report for her", all this, she has maintained, shouting. The inspector drafted a report that refers to article 37 of the citizen security law —better known as the gag law— where it is specified, in its section 5, as a minor offense "the performance or incitement to perform acts that violate the freedom and sexual indemnity, or perform acts of obscene exhibition, when it does not constitute a criminal offense.
Later, according to what was written by the singer, the agent wrote down her personal information and told her "this is what you have voted for." To this, the singer adds: "And he's right, the problem isn't him. It's what you voted for." To top it off, she points out in her text: "Don't worry, each time (I am) closer to leaving music. To stop exposing the body and to leave everything. Because I don't deserve it."
After learning about the opening of this file to open an internal investigation by the Local Police, the singer has reacted again on her social networks. "That they assume that it has been an abuse of power is the greatest happiness that I can have after the humiliation that we suffered from this man," the artist remarked.
The concert took place last Saturday at the end of a parade by the organization 'No te Prives' to claim the rights of the LGTBI collective, within a program of the City Council of the capital in which the performance of Rocío Saiz was part.
