The
Koldo case
,
after the arrest of the advisor of former minister José Luis Ábalos for profiting from the purchase of masks during the pandemic, has placed the commission that Tomás Díaz Ayuso, brother of the president of the Community of Madrid, back in the public debate. , received for the purchase of medical supplies for the regional government.
A situation, introduced from Moncloa, that has caused the
popular
leader to redouble her defense in every public intervention.
This Tuesday, in an interview in Cope, Ayuso alluded to
"a direct obsession" against his brother from Moncloa "to try to kill him
. "
"The treatment given to him was so disgraceful, so many lies have been told about him, so much gratuitous damage has been done that I began to think: 'These people think or know that behind a purchase there are many more things,'" said the regional president as an argument to explain why the investigation was initiated by the Community of Madrid that has led to this case.
"They intend to close in four days what they did not let me close in four years, not even going head-to-head and having everything perfectly demonstrated," said the Madrid leader, who has accused Moncloa of using "the entire government machinery" to " to be angry" against "a citizen who is not even in politics.
"We are not all the same, one case has nothing to do with another.
One was not even a case and the other is a scandal with many ramifications
," he insisted after the statements last week by the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, from Rabat equating both cases.
"
I don't want any revenge unlike Mr. Sánchez because I don't live like that
. Fortunately I start life every day, every morning, with a clear head and a clear conscience and a clean heart," said Ayuso, who has expressed favor of there being "justice" and "knowing what they have done with so much money from so many people."
"They prohibited us from buying medical supplies with a single command, I don't know if for this reason, but they didn't allow it and that made us lose time that was golden," said the president of the Community of Madrid, which she attributed to " a personal revenge" of the President of the Government, this whole case and the appearance of his brother in the public debate again.
Precisely the reappearance of Tomás Díaz Ayuso, as he has warned, occurs because the
Koldo case
is not "a specific case" but "a plot that could affect different ministries and communities
. "
"We are talking about huge amounts of money in different countries outside our own. This is evident that it has been with the connivance of many people there and, therefore, they will try to make coups," the
popular leader remarked.
Ayuso has once again defended the management that the Community of Madrid carried out during the first wave of the Covid pandemic, which is almost four years old, recalling that "24 or 25 planes" arrived in the capital with " tens of thousands of tons of high-quality medical supplies, all controlled."
"When we moved, which is what they do not forgive us for, we had that sole control in purchases. And when they saw that they were unable to buy a single mask, they allowed us to do to the rest of the regions what we could in a Persian market like it was. China at that time," he noted.
"We even had medical supplies paralyzed and private health supplies were also requisitioned so that later, on top of that, they would not arrive and would arrive in poor condition," continued the regional president, who has held the Government directly responsible for that situation. central.
"
They have raised all of this, they have promoted it, so now let them investigate.
There are tremendous ramifications," she concluded.
