And no one knew anything, and no one suspected anything. If Moncloa tries to protect Pedro Sánchez from Koldo’s case to explain the allegations of former minister José Luis Ábalos, Ferraz does the same to avoid any responsibility. in look or knowing the actions of the person who was the Secretary of the Board at that time. In doing so, they are rejecting the accusations that they do not give random money that the PP party filed in court. Federal officials say that “alarms” did not go off in their internal systems, or that “anything special was seen.” Not even in internal investigations related to the amount paid by the third party to the organization. A lot of money according to party workers.
Audits, according to the Organization Secretariat, “it happens all the time” and he didn’t doubt Ábalos, who according to the summary of the UCO of the Civil Guard would have received benefits from the plot, such as paying rent to an ex-partner or enjoying a chalet in Cádiz. In Ferraz he points out that this idea is “very transparent” according to the reports of the Court of Auditors.
There was no “first sign” which would raise suspicions about Ábalos or link him to the plot. Then, his number two was Santos Cerdán, who succeeded him as the director of the Secretariat, and, according to the management of Ferraz, he accepted his money, after the supervision of the department, and promoted it to the management. At the head of this was Mariano Moreno, now the president of a public company Enusselected by SEPI.
“We found out through the media,” explains socialist sources from the current administration to confirm that all those close to Ábalos at the time “are very calm.” Other sources of information attract the attention of the former minister He used to travel with his deputy, Santos Cerdán. According to the UCO report, the former partner, who the scheme paid 88,000 euros for rent, would have had several official visits.
The former minister was removed from the government in July 2021, amid a major reshuffle. A few days later he tendered his resignation as Secretary of the Organization. If both Moncloa and Ferraz agree to express their shock at what they did in the report of the Civil Guard presented to the International Court of Justice, some former colleagues mention the “chaotic” life that they would have had at the mercy level, always without. doubts about things that are said to be illegal. In this sense, Government sources indicate that the transfer of reports to Moncloa and bodyguard teams.
PP complaint
The expulsion of Ábalos from the Government is separated from the case of Koldo. Something that Sánchez had already rejected at the time and that various Socialist ministers were responsible for insisting on today. In the PP he says that he has no doubt that the investigation will not include other members of the Government, as well as Pedro Sánchez himself. So the complaint filed this Monday for receiving irregular income, based on information written by the press from an anonymous businessman who allegedly has money. “90,000 euros in pockets to the headquarters of the PSOE. In Ferraz he doubts his authenticity.
“There is not a single detail, no source or information or to whom the money is given. We want there to be little trouble, and what is disseminated,” the spokesperson of the party, Esther Peña, complained on Monday. Considering this, he predicted that he would complain It will not be accepted for editing because it is based on “press releases”. which according to the law “precludes such investigation.” Regarding the complaint of the anonymous businessman, the federal headquarters says that it cannot be bought because the records of the security cameras are deleted every 30 days because this is guaranteed by the data protection law.
The motion of condemnation
Not only in the PP and Vox, who have already shown their willingness to support the hypothetical opposition, want to follow Sánchez. Among the members of the parliament, Podemos questioned whether the social leader was not aware of what was happening around the case of Koldo after the new revelations of the UCO. “The corruption of the PP was not new to M. Rajoy and it is impossible that the corruption of the Koldo case was new to Pedro Sánchez,” said the Secretary of Podemos, Pablo Fernández. “The PSOE is trying to burn Ábalos in the public square, who was its former Secretary of Organization, number 3 of the PSOE and Sánchez’s right hand, and it is not reliable”he added.
From the The value of PNV They have distanced themselves from the PP’s complaints, saying they are trying to cover up the dispute by supporting reforms that would reduce the sentences of ETA members with previous prison sentences outside of Spain. “It seems that they are accusing the PSOE of illegal money when Nothing appears in the Civil Guard report.“said the spokesperson of Congress during an interview with Onda Vasca collected by Europa Press. Although he favors “more explanations” and refrains from waiting for “how far the government can expand”, he lowered the numbers to criticize. Something that Ferraz also sneered at by making sure that the only known party that would be able to cooperate with this would be the most accurate, removing other parties from the equation.
