The scandal of the Morodo case , who was Zapatero's ambassador to Venezuela, does not stop growing. As EL MUNDO reveals today, the National Court has ordered to track the final destination of 14.5 million euros that according to Judge Santiago Pedraz did not pocket Morodo personally. That money - up to a total of 35 million - came from illegal commissions paid by Venezuelan state oil company PDVSA in exchange for fictitious advice during the Zapatero government . The Hearing now claims information about thirty operations executed by the Morodo plot. These companies include two companies located in the Caribbean islands of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines and another in Panama through which the funds were channeled.

The close link between the Chavista regime and the socialist ambassador translated into a protected status of Hugo Chávez, who not only financed the founders of Podemos but also this prominent exponent of zapaterismo. If, as the judge believes, Morodo did not stay all the money, it is urgent to know who else made a profit from the Venezuelan dictatorship . Morodo was a man very close to José Bono, who during his time as Minister of Defense agreed to sell several planes and ships to the Bolivarian regime. The reality of these connections, added to the well-known ideological and financial dependence of Podemos regarding Caracas, throws a new light to interpret the drastic turn that the Government of Sánchez and Iglesias has printed on the Spanish diplomatic position regarding Juan Guaidó , to who first recognized as president in charge and then degraded the opposition leader. Not to mention the murky episode of José Luis Ábalos with number two of Maduro in Barajas. Despite the cascade of lies of the Minister of Development, who should have resigned, and the stubbornness of Marlaska in denying that he had penetrated into Schengen space, we now know that Delcy Rodríguez spent the night on Spanish soil, thus breaching the sanctioning regime of the EU against her. This is clearly demonstrated by Araceli Mangas in the gallery that we publish today.

That is why the decision of the judge to protect the PP's request and order the conservation of the recordings of that night at the airport is pertinent. A relevant measure: it will probably involve opening proceedings for evidence of crime in the events of Barajas .

It is not Carmen Calvo who decides what interests the Spaniards and what does not. Venezuela and its more than four million exiles - leading the ranking of nationalities of asylum seekers in Spain - question anyone who does not have an unreliable political interest in silencing the Venezuelan drama. Sanchez has turned the foreign policy criteria: the Spanish have the right to know what commitments they have made with the Maduro regime.
