• Venezuela. The PP denounces the judge that Interior "previously knew" Delcy Rodríguez's trip to Madrid
  • The facts: Interior prepared the arrival of Delcy Rodríguez to Barajas 24 hours before
  • Politics. Nine days of contradictions and versions of José Luis Ávalos

The head of the Investigating Court number 31 in Madrid refuses to request for now the recordings of the meeting between the Minister of Transport, José Luis Ábalos, and the Venezuelan vice president, Delcy Rodríguez. Magistrate Antonio Serrano-Arnal has denied the request made by the PP to prevent the destruction of the images, made last week. The reason given by the judge is that the personification of the popular has not yet been resolved , who requires a deposit of 40,000 euros, which has been appealed.

The legal representation of the party led by Pablo Casado requested a few days ago, as EL MUNDO announced, that while its admission as an accusation in the case is finalized, the judge agrees ex officio a battery of proceedings aimed at preventing the key evidence from being removed.

In this sense, it demanded for the second time the "list of all the video surveillance cameras that have access to the recording of the landing strip where the plane landed, where it once circulated on the ground, and where it was parked, and other dependencies of the airport where the events occurred ".

That is, the "transit areas, VIP areas, Executive Lounge, in short, all the places where both the passengers and crew of the plane have passed or stayed, as well as the people who have received them or with whom they have interviewed." But also, it demands the images on "the totality of the merchandise that the plane will transport".

The request of the 'popular'

In parallel, the PP, assisted in this procedure as a lawyer by former magistrate José Antonio Choclán , raises the need to carry out an "ocular inspection of the aforementioned places and location of the cameras, in order to ensure the integrity of the information provided ".

In turn, it requires a "cloning of all the computer equipment in which the recordings of the reported events have been recorded" to determine whether an attempt was made to "exclude, delete or manipulate the information".

Likewise, he asks the judge to "investigate whether there were previous communications to the Secretary of State for the Interior about the scheduled trip." Since "in recent days, new news have been published in different media that advocate prior knowledge by the Interior Ministry of Rodríguez's visit to our country."

The PP refers, among other information, to the recent article published by Juan Luis Cebrián in El País , in which he assured that "the friendly meeting of Minister Ábalos with the Venezuelan vice-president" was "scheduled and not fortuitous as one wanted to make one believe" . He adds that the Bolivarian leader "even went so far as to have scheduled several appointments with different personalities of our country in the days following her arrival, pretending to remain in Madrid."

The events of January 20

The PP maintains before the Investigating Court number 31 of Madrid that the Ministry of the Interior directed by Fernando Grande-Marlaska had "prior knowledge" of the visit of the vice president of Venezuela, Delcy Rodríguez, the right hand of Nicolás Maduro, to Spain last January.

It should be recalled that on January 20, the Minister of Transportation, José Luis Ábalos, met at the Barajas airport with the Venezuelan vice president, subject to sanctions for violating human rights. She is also one of the 25 people of the Maduro regime who has been banned from entering Spanish territory and a ban on travel to the Schengen area .

The meeting lasted approximately 20 minutes in the VIP room of the Sky Vallet company and Ábalos has provided so far a rosary of contradictory versions, but in all of them he stressed that the appointment was "casual and fortuitous" because he went to receive a "friend ", also the Venezuelan minister Félix Plasencia .
