The PP extends the Senate investigation beyond the Koldo case

After the lawyers' notice about an excess of functions and with the argument that "nothing is left" unclarified, the PP has decided to expand the purpose of the investigation commission into the Koldo case and will bring an update to a vote in the Senate plenary session. in order to cover other issues.

Specifically, the popular majority alludes to the “information that has become known” to put in the bag of “other possible cases of corruption” the links of Globalia, parent company of Air Europa, with the company Soluciones de Gestión, the main one investigated in the plot, as well as its relationship with the presence in Barajas of the vice president of Venezuela, Delcy Rodríguez. All this to target the “president's immediate family environment”, that is, Begoña Gómez, Pedro Sánchez's wife.

The ping-pong tournament disputed by the Senate and Congress on behalf of the investigation commissions on the payment of commissions for the purchase and sale of medical supplies in the pandemic will open next Monday, April 22.

As planned, that day Koldo García, who until yesterday had not been located, will appear in the Upper House. The opposition thus counteracts the setback received from Congress, which summoned Salvador Illa on that date, two days before his appearance in the Senate, so that, when that moment came, the intensity of the spotlight, on the eve of the Catalan campaign, looked noticeably attenuated.

So much for the coincidences, merely temporary, because the leader of the PSC and former Minister of Health and the former advisor to the former Minister of Transport José Luis Ábalos, whose name the Koldo case has been baptized, will not share the stage and their matches will be played on two different courts, the Carrera de San Jerónimo and the Plaza de la Marina Española.

After denouncing the existence of a “clear instruction” from the Ministry of the Interior not to provide their contact information “in a timely manner” and hinder the work of the investigation commission, the Senate announced yesterday that Koldo García had been located and that He had expressed his willingness to testify on the 22nd.

The notification mess has been solved, since, as the president of the Upper House, Pedro Rollán, himself admitted, “the registration address may not coincide with that of the residence on a temporary or circumstantial basis,” the accusation of “obstruction” loses relevance. ” launched by the PP spokesperson in the Senate, Alicia García, who held the Minister of the Interior, Fernando Grande-Marlaska, directly responsible for any delay.

There will be no such thing, and Koldo García will be the first to parade through the Senate committee.
