The mayor of Madrid,
José Luis Martínez-Almeida
, sees "strange" and it sounds "somewhat strange" to him that the Prosecutor's Office "only investigates the City Council and the Community", administrations governed by the PP.
Almeida has thus answered the press before attending the Sermon of the Seven Words in the Basilica of Our Father Jesus of Medinaceli after 'El Confidencial' has published this Friday that the State Attorney General, Dolores Delgado, was aware of the course of the investigations by the millionaire commissions in the purchase of sanitary material and in November he signed a decree to extend the work of the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office for a maximum of one more year.
"If the attorney general decided that it had to be extended, then she decided that it had to be extended. What surprises me about the Prosecutor's Office is that it
only investigates the City Council and the Community of Madrid.
Is the Prosecutor's Office really not going to investigate any other Administration? Aren't you going to investigate any other government other than the PP?" asked the first mayor of Madrid.
It sounds to Almeida "somewhat strange considering that at that time thousands and thousands of contracts were produced in all administrations in very complicated circumstances."
"And it just so happens that the prosecution, I don't know why, the only thing that occurs to me is, who does the prosecution depend on? Because if we know how to respond, we will know how to answer why only City Council and Community contracts are investigated so much," he has posed.
"The City Council has no responsibility"
The mayor has stressed that, regardless of "who the Public Prosecutor's Office reports to", this "after 17 months of investigation says that
the City Council has no responsibility
, that it exonerates the City Council, any person who works in the City Council from any type of irregularity ".
"But the left decides that the Prosecutor's Office must be ignored and what they say must be heeded. Why? Why do they ask the City Council for responsibilities that the Prosecutor's Office does not ask for? Or is it that the left believes that it has more evidence that 17 months of investigation and 3,000 pages of preliminary proceedings? The Prosecutor's Office says that the City Council is not responsible, in any case they are two thugs who have defrauded the City Council," Martínez-Almeida stressed.
The mayor has insisted that "the strange thing is that the Prosecutor's Office only investigates the City Council and the Community of Madrid" when they were not "the only administrations because the Government of Pedro Sánchez, its three top managers of purchases, are charged with 310 million and here nothing happens".
Martínez-Almeida has assured that in the Government they work with "total and absolute tranquility and collaborating with the Prosecutor's Office".
