Investigation Podemos payments to the Neurona company ended up in a neighborhood in Mexico
2019 campaign Neurona diverted Podemos money to a Mexican cover with false 'communication strategy' invoices
Deputies of the former ruling
Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) on
Tuesday asked the
Financial Intelligence Unit (UIF) of Mexico to
investigate whether the party of President
Andrés Manuel López Obrador
received funding from
Podemos.
As indicated, the investigation seeks to know if the financing could be used to carry out proselytizing activities during the 2020-2021 electoral campaign, which ended with the June 6 elections. The PRI deputy
Mariana Rodríguez
urged the head of the Mexican government's FIU,
Santiago Nieto,
to undertake the investigation. "An investigation is urgent to clarify the type of help that Morena (the ruling
National Regeneration Movement) received
and whether or not this affected the 2021 electoral contest, and whether of course this constitutes a crime," the deputy said.
In addition, he indicated that "there are suspicions of the use of illegal resources" to influence electoral processes, especially the participation of foreign companies in the design of political campaigns in Mexico.
He recalled that in mid-November of last year, various media in Mexico and
Spain
reported the alleged existence of millionaire deviations from the Spanish political party Podemos to finance Morena's activities.
"According to various media,
Podemos diverted 308,000 euros,
approximately seven and a half million pesos, of public funds in 2019 to benefit companies linked to Morena, through the alleged provision of strategic consulting and marketing services," he said.
Given this, the deputy Rodríguez considered it necessary that "the electoral authorities carry out a thorough investigation to clarify this alleged intervention by foreign companies."
On June 6, a historic election took place in Mexico, the largest in the country, in which 93 million people were summoned to elect the 500 federal deputies, 15 of 32 state governors, 30 local congresses and more than 1,900 city councils. .
