Eduardo Dolón

Eduardo Dolón is the Mayor of Torrevieja, a coastal town in Alicante, Spain. He is newsworthy due to a recent and deeply disturbing event: the apparent murder of a three-year-old girl by her father, who subsequently committed suicide. This incident has prompted the declaration of an official day of mourning in Torrevieja, and the Ayuntamiento (city council) has held a minute of silence to express their condemnation of the act. The case is being investigated as a potential instance of vicarious violence (violencia vicaria), where a parent harms a child to inflict pain on the other parent. Dolón and the Torrevieja community are currently grappling with the shock and grief resulting from this tragedy, highlighting the ongoing issue of gender-based and vicarious violence in Spain.
