Koldo García, the former advisor to the former Minister of Transport José Luis Ábalos and the epicenter of the scheme to collect commissions for the sale of masks to various administrations in the middle of the pandemic, has broken his silence to criticize the treatment that the PSOE has given to the Valencian politician who He was expelled and is now integrated into the mixed group in Congress and to ensure that “there is no blanket to pull.”
In an interview in OKdiario, Koldo García assures regarding the PSOE’s treatment of Ábalos that describing it as “unfair” would be “soft.” “I think they are even being cruel to him,” emphasizes the former advisor who has praised the former secretary of the socialist organization. “I think he is a man who has given everything, not for himself, but for Spain, and who has been a faithful public servant,” he stated, adding that “the people who should have helped him in difficult situations, well, , they have not been up to the task”, in reference to his former colleagues in the PSOE.
At this point, Koldo tries to reassure the party. “There is no blanket to throw or anything like that,” he points out and indicates that “no one has done anything irregular or so I think.” “What the party of Mr. José Luis Ábalos thinks, well, they and their leaders will have to know it too.” “The performance with him, from my point of view and in my opinion, has been a mistake. He does not deserve it,” Koldo concludes.
Koldo says that he is not aware of having done “anything wrong” and puts himself in the hands of justice to determine if he was wrong and that, if so, “I will have to accept my mistakes.” He also denies that he has had a large increase in assets as reflected in the investigation and report of the Civil Guard, which “I will justify” and it will be clearly seen that “that is not the case.”
