The airline Plus Ultra places the judge who has suspended its rescue in the position of causing a loss of 19 million to the State and a check to its staff.

In a letter dated last day 19, to which EL MUNDO has had access, the airline warns of drama if it does not receive the pending 34 million.

"The absence of disbursement of the participating loan that was granted would inevitably condemn PLUS ULTRA LÍNEAS AÉREAS, SA, to

a dramatic financial situation with enormous difficulties in meeting the payment obligations

contracted," he goes on to say. And among these "contracted payment obligations" stand out the 19 million that the so-called Solvency Support Fund for Strategic State Companies has already lent him at 2% interest.

After this plea letter, advanced by

Voz Pópuli, the

airline prepares another with a similar content of explanation of why it needs the rescue, with this puts the judge who is handling the case,

Esperanza Collazos

, in the position of provoking, according to Plus Ultra, an impairment to the State by stopping the second part of the rescue and, in addition, a loss of employment.

"The participatory loan to be disbursed constitutes a fundamental pillar for the financial sustainability of the company, an essential element to enable the continuation of our activity and

the maintenance of the employment that it entails.

", he points out. The airline assures that it needs the money to maintain" the 354 direct jobs and more than 2,500 indirect jobs that the airline generates in Spain. "

The airline maintains the same line of defense as the State Advocacy, which, according to this newspaper published this Thursday, also warned the judge that the suspension of the rescue left the return of the 19 million in the air.

"It seems a fact that not proceeding with the disbursement of the pending loan,

would jeopardize the return of the 19 million euros already disbursed by breaking

the budgets on which the company's viability plan has been designed," according to the legal statement. of the State.

Plus Ultra maintains that its viability plan was based on receiving a total of 53 million from the State and that if it does not receive the bulk, it will be left without the key pillar.

However, the judge has so far ignored both parties and has chosen to stop the rescue precisely to protect public accounts in the absence of justification, in her opinion, for the rescue of this airline.

"

The unjustified delivery would imply a significant loss of assets

without the possibility of restoring it to a previous situation," he said in his order suspending the rescue.

The airline has a few days to try to convince the instructor and the prosecutor, who also asks to prove the need for the money.

The Popular Party and Vox, in person in the Court of Instruction number 15, ask for the precautionary suspension of the operation.
