THE WORLD has had exclusive access to the summary of the Morodo case , a very serious matter of alleged corruption that affects the former Zapatero ambassador to Venezuela, Raúl Morodo , and that, therefore, also represents a spot for the image of Spain in the outside. Hence, it is not only essential that all responsibilities be cleared in the judicial field, but explanations by the former socialist president that he refuses since the scandal broke out are expendable. You cannot maintain the ostrich strategy; otherwise, Moncloa should demand public clarification in order to clear any shadow on the national reputation.

Morodo, his relatives and two partners would have appropriated more than 35 million euros through fictitious contracts of advice to the Venezuelan state oil company, controlled by the Chavista regime. A huge sum to which the Police follow the trail since the investigation of the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office began more than four years ago. In fact, once he began to pull the ball he has not stopped increasing the amount of the great fraudulent bite of Morodo and his own. It does not seem credible that the personal enrichment of the aforementioned was the sole purpose of this corrupt plot. Why did the tyranny of Caracas spread so much money to the ambassador? Where has everything bleached gone? These are questions that I hope the research under way can answer.

Despite the outbreak of the scandal, Zapatero has continued to maintain a privileged relationship with the Maduro regime and has been carrying out opaque mediation for years that has been repeatedly criticized and rejected by the opposition and has put in more of a political squeeze Spanish exterior. It is another reason why their explanations about the thorny issue are sorely lacking. The opacity in this case of the Socialists is, as seen, in a sign of identity of the Spanish left. Because Podemos has never clarified its anything edifying links with the Bolivarian governments of Latin America and, what is more serious, about all the suspicions about its obscure financing .

And we are no longer talking about a political formation that aims to storm the skies and dynamit the system, but one of the two parties that make up the coalition of the Government of the Nation. Hence, Pablo Iglesias and his people cannot continue to steal from the public explanations to clarify issues such as that of Evo Morales recently revealed by our newspaper. As we published, the Government that he was leading in Bolivia paid 1.3 million euros to a consultant linked to Podemos for mini videos for social networks that extolled the management of the leader now refugee in Argentina. The left must assume that accountability is a basic democratic demand .
