Woman attacks Catalan politician

An unidentified woman attacked the leader of the Cataluña socialist party and called him a “son of a *****.”

Pere Navarro, leader of the PSC, was in the doorway of the cathedral in Tarrasa when he got punched in the face and shouted at by the woman.

He was not on official business but going to the first communion of one of his family members and, as such, had only a reduced protection detail accompanying him.

The woman ran away immediately and Navarro asked that nobody follow her; she has been described as an average looking woman, probably middle-aged with no distinctive characteristics – other than attacking politicians.

Navarro did not need medical attention but is reported to have a small bruise on his face.

The socialist leader is no stranger to being insulted as, recently, he has been very outspoken on the subject of Catalan independence (he is against it).

Navarro has not yet spoken as to whether he will take the matter to the police or let bygones be bygones.
