The ultra agitator Luis ‘Alvise’ Pérez has been sentenced for the second time for harassing Ana Pastor on social networks. As has progressed Newtral and elDiario.es has confirmed, the Provincial Court of Madrid has sentenced the former Ciudadanos adviser to pay the journalist 10,000 euros for spreading a photo of her having dinner with her husband, referring to them as “the mafia”. This is the second civil sentence handed down against Pérez to compensate Pastor after the same court forced him to pay 1,000 euros to the journalist for insinuating, without data, that his company Newtral was incurring tax and accounting irregularities.

Pérez published the photos on his Twitter account and other internet profiles in September 2020. A photo in which Ana Pastor and her husband, Antonio García Ferreras, were eating with Óscar Camps, from Open Arms. “What were @_AnaPastor, her husband #Ferreras and the owner of @openarms_fund doing eating together this summer in one of the most exclusive restaurants in the Balearic Islands?… How tense is the mafia when those who are observed, persecuted and stripped before public opinion It’s them, right?” The ultra agitator wondered.
The convicted man published the message and the photo on other profiles on different social networks, with a message that he regularly repeats about his marking and persecution of a supposed “mafia” made up of politicians and journalists from the progressive spectrum. “Never before has the mafia felt so surrounded, observed and unmasked as now. This has only just begun, ”he stated in another of his messages.
Pastor brought the case before the courts with Alvise Pérez declared in “voluntary default” by not appearing in the process, says the sentence, and a court sided with the ultra agitator in the first instance. The magistrate who studied the case understood that Pastor is a public figure, the image corresponded to a public space and he was eating, an “ordinary situation”, in such a way that neither his privacy nor his image were affected. Therefore, he did not deserve compensation.
The Provincial Court of Madrid has upheld an appeal by the journalist and, although it maintains that the publication of the photo did not affect her right to privacy, but it did affect her image. “She does not hold any public office, even though her profession as a journalist and television presenter has some public projection, without the photographs having any relation to this professional field,” the judges reproached.
For this court, in a sentence that is still appealable before the Supreme Court, the photo that the ultra agitator disseminated was not news and, furthermore, Pastor did not give his consent for it to be disseminated. “The photographs of the plaintiff include, we insist, aspects strictly concerning his private life without any public dimension”, establishes the sentence to sign a compensation of 10,000 euros for the journalist.
Third sentence for Luis ‘Alvise’ Pérez
This sentence of the Madrid Court of five days ago represents the third non-firm sentence that the judges have handed down against this ultra agitator, at the time advisor to Citizens in the Valencian Community. At the beginning of this year, for example, he was also sentenced by civil means to compensate Ana Pastor with another 1,000 euros for other messages about her: in this case, for insinuating without data that his company Newtral committed accounting irregularities and did not pay enough taxes.
The Justice then said that his tweets were “stuffed with insinuations” and that they presented as suspicious “the rapid evolution of his benefits” without presenting any type of evidence about what he said. The author of a YouTube channel where similar accusations were also made was also sentenced.
Another sentence came in November of last year when a court in the capital sentenced Pérez to compensate former minister José Luis Ábalos with 60,000 euros, a regular target of his messages and criticism on his different profiles on social networks. In this case also for spreading a photo of Ábalos’s personal life without his permission in the garden of his house and illustrating the images with a message: “What would you think of the mental health of a Minister who spends all afternoon staring at a couple of caged birds?
Another ultra agitator, linked in the past to Vox in the Valencian Community, has also been sentenced by the civil jurisdiction to compensate Ábalos for similar acts. It was Cristina Seguí, who was sentenced by a Madrid court to pay 6,000 euros to the former minister for insulting him on her Twitter account.
