Teresa Rodríguez paid in 2020 with funds from her parliamentary group

, despite the fact that the Autonomous Chamber already pays individual allowances to all deputies to cover such expenses. A report from the General Intervention has declared these rents ineligible and the Parliament Board has asked the Adelante Andalucía group (now

) to return 19,287.01 euros used improperly.

The report of the auditors supervises the expenses of the parliamentary groups of the Andalusian Chamber in the year 2020, while Teresa Rodríguez is still president of Adelante Andalucía, the confluence of parties with which the former leader of Podemos attended the regional elections of December 2018. And it concludes that it is incompatible that the deputies collect allowances for the performance of parliamentary activity and, on the other hand, intend to dedicate part of the subsidy that the group receives to the payment of their accommodation. It is the

precisely by a group of deputies, the one then chaired by Teresa Rodríguez, who has very actively criticized the collection of allowances as a

of the political class, repeatedly demanding its elimination in those months that there is not even activity in the Chamber.

The auditors recall that compensation for the exercise of parliamentary activity is accrued every month of the year and the amounts are established according to

to the parliamentary seat.

"In short, the costs of renting a house for the accommodation of the deputies that make up the group (whether it is an eventual use of the house or not) and the costs of supply (electricity, gas) or cleaning, could incur

".

Specifically, the expenses that the group paid with the subsidy are those corresponding to the

from July to December 2020 for a value of 16,185.12 euros;

plus supplies (gas and electricity), for a total of 1,609.09 euros;

and

, for an amount of 2,032.80 euros.

The expenses of

, which have finally been considered good because the premises are destined for a parliamentary office.

Sources close to the non-attached deputies, among whom Teresa Rodríguez is currently expelled from Adelante Andalucía, explain that

In any case, they insist that "non-attached deputies have always been very scrupulous with the question of privileges and the use of public money." "They have always defended the need to justify all expenses and also the convenience of reducing them." To reduce this expense, two houses were rented for 8 deputies, "which is a much lower cost than that of

each time they come to Seville."

"The surplus of the diets has been donated to different social entities or to the organization itself," they add.

During the pandemic, the non-attached deputies proposed

and, after the refusal of Parliament, "these parliamentarians donated that percentage of their salary to the Andalusian Health Service (SAS)".

Currently, they recall, the 11 non-attached deputies do not receive any money as a group, "despite representing 10% of the Chamber."

On the other hand, the United We can group

Finally, regarding the details of the rental apartment contracts, the non-attached deputies affirm that their management was carried out by the then

Break with Podemos and expulsion for "turncoat"

Rodríguez, who was the general coordinator of Podemos in Andalusia, broke with the party that Pablo Iglesias still led in February 2020 and subsequently began a series of maneuvers to try not to lose control of the parliamentary group. Among them, it

in which the Parliament entered the subsidies and subrogated on behalf of the parliamentary group the consultant contracts and also the rents that have been

by the General Intervention, contracts that until that moment had depended of Podemos.

However, the deputies of the United Left reacted and, under the leadership of Podemos, launched an operation that ended with the expulsion of Rodríguez's parliamentary group and its related deputies, who were considered by Parliament "turncoats" in application of the

. Curiously, that pact had been expanded and reformulated weeks before, with the collusion of all the major parties at the national level, to redefine the concept of turncoats tailored, curiously, to the situation of Rodríguez and his faithful.

Rodríguez and his deputies went to the group of not attached to Parliament as of November 2020. And, a few months later, IU and Podemos decided to change the name of the parliamentary group to
