  • 'Koldo Case' Ayuso's "revenge" against the PSOE two years after the complaints about her brother's masks

The arrest of Koldo García Izaguirre, advisor to former minister José Luis Ábalos, has not gone unnoticed in the control session of the Government of Isabel Díaz Ayuso.

Even less after the investigation started with a complaint from the Popular Parliamentary Group in the Assembly as "revenge" against the accusations against the brother of the regional president for the commission received in the supply of masks to the Community.

The

popular

leader herself was the one who introduced the issue in the plenary session in her response to the PSOE spokesperson, Juan Lobato,

accusing the socialists of being "in the hands of a doorman" who later became "advisor to a minister or advisor." of Renfe"

.

"The usual pace, like that of Tito Berni, like the saunas... Everything as sordid as you like," Ayuso stressed, adding that "the left goes through life with a supposed moral superiority and what has an immense ethical inferiority".

The regional president has detailed that only this week the PSOE and the central Government have experienced a "historic collapse" in the Galician elections and "they have already lost seven autonomous communities", the Parliament "has decided to continue with the illegal declaration of independence "In the midst of negotiations on the amnesty, Minister Fernando Grande Marlaska has been "rejected" in the Senate, "the streets are full of tractors" in protest of the measures of the Ministry of Agriculture and, as a closing, "a corruption plot that "splashes into ministries and autonomous communities," in reference to the

Koldo case.

"Starting with 20 detainees, the first time, luckily this week," she noted.

"I return the question, Mr. Lobato, do not bite your tongue, between us, quietly if you want, how do you see Pedro Sánchez?

Because if everything that happens in Madrid is my responsibility, everything that happens to the Government of Spain is the responsibility of Mr. Sánchez

," stated the regional president, repeating the formula that the socialist spokesperson had used last week in the control session to ask Ayuso about the situation of Alberto Núñez Feijóo in the PP given the possibility of lose the Xunta de Galicia.

The Popular Parliamentary Group, for its part, has welcomed the complaint filed against three contracts that have led to the investigation against Koldo García Izaguirre and his recent arrest.

The

popular spokesperson,

Carlos Díaz Pache, has stated that advisor Ábalos

"has been caught with the ice cream cart" and, therefore, it is "absolutely intolerable" that the former minister maintains his record as a deputy

in Congress.

"We want the PSOE to give explanations as to whether it is a case of Mr. Abalos or Mr. Sánchez [...] What we see in front of us are hoaxes, they have been playing with the pain of the victims of the pandemic for four years," he said.

Criticism of the case has not been limited solely to the Popular Party because the spokesperson for Más Madrid, Manuela Bergerot,

has shown her "rejection" towards "whoever was paid for being a friend of a minister" but also "whoever was paid for being a brother." of the president of the Community of Madrid"

, making, like the President of the Government yesterday afternoon from Rabat, a parallel between the Koldo case and that of Tomás Díaz Ayuso, archived by the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office after complaints from PSOE, Podemos and the formation of the left itself.
