I need to apologize to those who have suffered from emotional dynamics on my part that I have tried to work through with medication and therapy; psychological violence, which is not visible from within.

โ€” Nacho LevyLevy's public apology for his past behavior.

"I need to apologize to those who have suffered from emotional dynamics on my part that I have tried to work through with medication and therapy; psychological violence, which is not visible from within," Levy stated. He emphasized that his actions did not involve physical violence or legal complaints, but acknowledged the harm caused.

Levy admitted to fostering toxic relationships and participating in behaviors that the broader activist community is examining. He stressed his responsibility to work on himself, manage his emotions, and heal, aiming to contribute positively without causing harm. He also expressed that he does not see himself as an "impostor" within the movement or in his support for his colleagues.

I have generated toxic relationships and participated in practices that 'militancy has been reviewing and transforming.'

โ€” Nacho LevyLevy acknowledging problematic behaviors within the activist movement.

He described the current period as "tough hours" and reiterated his commitment to intensive mental health treatment, calling it his "priority" and a "personal reparation commitment." Levy explained that sometimes harm occurs through emotional violence, not necessarily physical acts or crimes. He acknowledged that his focus on the "work" led him to neglect personal relationships, prioritizing ideas over people.

I have a clear responsibility and obligation: to work on myself, to regulate my mood, to heal wounds, and to be able to add without subtracting.

โ€” Nacho LevyLevy outlining his commitment to personal growth and self-improvement.

Levy concluded by apologizing "without speculation of scorn," attributing his behavior to ego. He stated he is now in the care of professionals and intends to "shut up, listen, and demonstrate that internal matters can also be transformed." His ex-partner, Cecilia Ce, had previously detailed alleged "psychopathic and narcissistic" conduct against her on social media.

Sometimes there are no blows, no crimes, but there are dynamics that are emotionally violent.
