Yolanda Díaz will not retract her comments about Julio Iglesias. This was confirmed by the second vice president and Minister of Labor in a conciliation ceremony held this Tuesday morning. At the time, the singer accused of sexual assault described his words as “injurious and slanderous.”
Iglesias wrote to the Madrid court for Díaz to rectify his words and compensate him with the appropriate amount. This is the obligatory preliminary step before filing a complaint, which elDiario.es assures that it has not yet been confirmed that it will occur, contrary to what other media claim.
However, Yolanda Díaz does not recognize “any damage either directly or indirectly to the artist,” according to sources from her Ministry. This considers that his words “were limited to commenting on the statements of third parties and the contents of the press reports that were published about Julio Iglesias.” That is, he considers that he has not “insulted or slandered the artist.”
Last February 2026, Iglesias filed a conciliation lawsuit against Yolanda Díaz for her comments on social networks and in a television interview. «Chilling testimonies from Julio Iglesias’ former workers. Sexual abuse and a situation of slavery with a power structure based on permanent aggression,” Díaz wrote in his Bluesky profile.
