Biography
In December 2025, the president of the provincial deputation in Lugo, José Tomé, resigned from his positions following allegations of sexual misconduct made by several women, though he rejected any wrongdoing and presented himself as "the victim of a set-up". Besteiro admitted to having prior knowledge of the allegations against Tomé, a disclosure that led to the resignation of the party's regional equality lead.[2][3]
