The links between the plot of the
Koldo case
and the Balearic Government of Francina Armengol
erode the credibility of who is now the third authority of the State, which requires detailed explanations and, if appropriate, clarification of responsibilities
.
The attempt to modify a contract with the company that is at the epicenter of the Koldo García plot, a trusted man of the then Minister of Transport, José Luis Ábalos, and the subsequent deception concocted before the EU leave the president of the Congress
I'm in one
compromised situation in which it is not possible to hide behind victimhood
.
You are obliged to be transparent.
The Executive of the Balearic Islands, during the mandate of the socialist leader
, contracted the acquisition of masks for 3.7 million euros and, four days later, produced the file with Management Solutions
, who allegedly corrupted who at that time was Ábalos's right-hand man.
When it was found that the masks were useless, the company turned to Koldo so that the Government would not file a complaint.
But it was not until the day the PSOE was evicted from power in the Balearic Islands that this claim was formalized.
Added to this is that
Armengol endorsed the expense to the EU even though he knew that the masks were so defective that they multiplied by eight the maximum filtration legally allowed.
.
After the revelations of EL MUNDO, the Balearic Government, now chaired by the
popular
Marga Prohens has announced that she is renouncing the European funds that Armengol received for the material
ultrafake
.
In any case,
The European Prosecutor's Office is already tracking the dark contracts with the Koldo network company in both the Balearic Islands and the Canary Islands
, during the mandate of Ángel Víctor Torres.
The priority is to clarify the facts surrounding the
Koldo case
.
Ábalos admitted that the plot "took an interest" in the million-dollar rescue of Air Europa as Víctor de Aldama was an "advisor" to Globalia.
In fact, the main commission agent in the purchase of masks that the National Court is investigating, as stated in the order, "had a 'special pass' in the Ministry of Transport."
On the internal level,
Ábalos's refusal to hand over the deputy's certificate, in addition to opening the first major internal crisis in the PSOE since Sánchez is the leader, reopens questions
about the underlying reasons that motivated his replacement in the Government and in the party.
Given the seriousness of a scandal that escalates daily,
The president cannot continue resorting to evasion
.
Not only because he splashes a figure inextricably linked to his own performance as general secretary of the PSOE, but because of the damage inflicted on institutional credibility.
The president of Congress, head of the Legislative Branch, cannot be under suspicion.
