Former President of the People’s Party of Catalonia. Alejo Vidal Quadras, was shot dead on Calle Nunez de Balboa in Madrid in broad daylight. According to sources in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he was wounded in the head and was taken by Samur to the hospital in serious condition.

The former deputy was walking alone along Nunez de Balboa Street in the central district of Salamanca when a man approached him from two meters away and shot him. The 78-year-old man was brought in conscious and a police team arrived at the scene to begin an investigation.

Police are searching for a runaway man motorcycle with black helmet after firing a 9mm Parabellum pistol.

Homicide investigators from the Madrid Police Headquarters took over the investigation. Scientific police specialists also arrived at the scene.

The former politician’s last message on social networks at 12:21 came after the announcement of the pact between PSOE and Junts on the investiture of Pedro Sánchez: “The infamous pact between Sánchez and Puigdemont that crushes the state of Spain in Spain. has already been agreed upon. The law will put an end to the separation of powers. Thus, our nation will cease to be a liberal democracy and become a totalitarian tyranny. We Spaniards will not allow this.”

Police sources say no arrests have been made at this time. The hypothesis is that this is a crime and excludes that it is an attack or a crime of a political nature.

Vidal-Quadras led the PP of Catalonia between 1991 and 1996, before moving to the party’s ranks in the European Parliament between 1999 and 2014. That same year, he left what was his party and joined the creation of Vox. However, he later dropped out of school.
