• Government Formation: María Chivite happy Basque nationalism with radical advisors
  • Navarra.Chivite insists on the plurality of his Government and asks his directors for "patience": "There will be hard times"

In the Government of María Chivite there are well-known and controversial names in Navarra: Manu Ayerdi , who repeats as Economic Development advisor, and Ana Ollo , in charge of the Department of Citizen Relations.

Ayerdi, representative of the PNV in Navarra until his entry into the Foral Government in 2015, has held the position despite the fact that the Navarrese socialists with whom he now forms a team came to ask for his resignation. The counselor has behind him a controversial millionaire public money aid to Davalor Salud , who subsequently went into liquidation.

Davalor Salud SL was created in 2011 with a project to measure visual parameters through video games. Juan José Marcos , manager of the company, requested investment from Sodena (public company for the promotion of business projects) as early as 2012, but was denied. In 2015, with a new Regional Government, another directive in Sodena and Ayerdi as Vice President and Counselor, Davalor got support. In 2017, when the company continued to receive public money in spite of the viability problems, a report from the Compto Chamber (Navarre supervisory body) called the procedure used with Davalor "exceptional". In 2018 it was declared in bankruptcy proceedings.

The case ended in an investigation commission in which Ayerdi declared that the granting of the loan to Davalor had been "personal", although he assured that there was no hidden interest. For its part, the co-founder of the society, Andrés Escudero , said that Davalor was practically «a corpse in 2015».

The investigation commission, which the four-party chaired by Uxue Barco decided to extend to other Sodena investments, did not approve any conclusions regarding Davalor Salud or Ayerdi. However, María Chivite's PSN asked, until just a few months ago, "political responsibilities" to Ayerdi for a "nefarious" management.

Davalor appears on the list of defaulters of the Hacienda Foral . In the same list is the company Arian Construction and Infrastructure Management , of which the Minister of Economic Development was financial director and currently owes 1.6 million.

Ayerdi's is not the only shadow of the past in the Government of Chivite. Ana Ollo has a suspicious story that involves former counselor Ana Herrera and her husband, Julian Oria . In 2016, local media collected the news that Ayerdi himself was awarding, without public tender, design and layout work to Heda Communication , a study founded by Oria. Ollo, then a spokesman for the Government, denied that there had been finger awards and assured that it was the extension of a contract that, in reality, did not exist. Interestingly, in the Mercantile Registry there is a community of goods between Ollo, current advisor of the Navarrese Government, and Julián Oria.

Oria had ceased to be sole administrator in September 2015, less than two months after the appointment of his wife. He also modified, according to the same means, his participation in society so that the participation of the marriage, in a regime of marital property, did not exceed the maximum 10% allowed for a public office. The commercial register shows that Julián Oria is a member of Heda Comunicación and owner of 9.64%.
