“She is my sister and I have been able to marry her off. And today I already have two sisters. They are already a woman and a woman.” That is the content of the message that the socialist councilor of Valencia Borja San Juan published on his public Twitter account on May 19, along with the photo that heads this text. As reported this morning by Sandra Gómez, his partner in the council and candidate for mayor, Elon Musk’s social network has blocked his account and has ordered him to delete the message, arguing that he violates “the rules that prohibit publishing private photos and videos “.
“Unfortunately, my partner @borsanro has had his TW account blocked for this photo marrying his sister to another woman. They say it’s “private content”, but he and his family are very proud that love is public. A hug to all the proud families”, says Gómez in the message published today.
This is not the first time that a candidate’s account has been blocked in this campaign, it has already happened to the candidate of Unides Podem-Esquerra Unida for the presidency of the Generalitat, Héctor Illueca, or to the candidate of that coalition for Mayor, Pilar Lime. As these processes work, it is possible that behind these blocks is the coordinated action of groups focused on denouncing certain types of messages. At the moment, the specific causes are unknown, but the account of Borja Sanjuán, number two of the PSOE candidacy in Valencia for Sunday’s elections, is still blocked.
