The PP will start the week as it ended. Without sparing efforts in their offensive against the PSOE after the revelations of the Koldo case. And this same Monday he will redouble the pressure against the president of Congress, Francina Armengol, registering in the Lower House a request for her resignation due to her “obvious involvement” in the plot.
It was the PP’s own parliamentary spokesperson, Miguel Tellado, and whose name also appears in the plot when Koldo communicates to a businessman involved that he had arranged to meet “Miguel Tellado and ‘Alberto'”, who has announced the PP’s next move from Galicia. national.
During an event of the Route for Equality held in A Coruña, Tellado attacked Armengol by stating that “he cannot continue one more minute” as head of the presidency of the Congress of Deputies because “he is not qualified ethically, morally or politically”, that is why this Monday he will register the resignation request in the chamber, which does not have a full session this week.
Armengol, previously president of the Balearic Islands and who acquired masks from the alleged plot under conditions that are now under judicial investigation, is causing “enormous damage” to the Chamber, according to the PP leader.
From the PSOE, the general secretary of the PSE-EE and candidate for lehendakari, Eneko Andueza, has urged not to accept “not even a lesson from the PP” on corruption, from a party that “has not learned from the cases that have affected it” and whose president he has accused of “defaming” and “slander.”
In a meeting in Bilbao with members of his candidacy for the next Basque elections, Andueza said that “after almost six years in the government of Spain”, the socialists have responded to the “only case of corruption” they have had with “immediacy” and “forcefulness”, not destroying “evidence with hammer blows”, in reference to the hard drives of the former treasurer of the PP, Luis Bárcenas.
On the other hand, the Koldo case has pitted socialists and popularists in Castilla la Mancha, shortly after it became known that the Government of Emiliano García Page rejected a purchase of masks from the Koldo plot for “being clearly defective.”
The spokesperson for the PP of Castilla-La Mancha, Santiago Serrano, has criticized the “thunderous silence” of the regional secretary of the PSOE and regional president, Emiliano García-Page, regarding the resignation of former minister José Luis Ábalos and Francina Armengol over the Koldo case.
In statements to the media, Serrano has expressed his “perplexity” at the fact that García-Page has not yet made statements “about whether those allegedly involved in the plot of the Koldo case have to abandon their positions.”
The person who responded was the Secretary of Organization of the PSOE of Castilla-La Mancha, Sergio Gutiérrez, who considered that the president of the Castilla-La Mancha PP, Paco Núñez, has a “golden opportunity” to retract what he has been saying against García. -Page and the socialists for the Koldo case, because “you cannot always have a policy of insidiousness, of slander”
In his opinion, Núñez cannot continue with these approaches “much less when we know from the summary of the National Court that, in Castilla-La Mancha, neither by active or passive, nor by periphrastic nature, was it contracted with any company, not even one of the that are being investigated nor those that were intermediaries.
Furthermore, this Sunday the general secretary of the PSOE in Aragon, Javier Lambán, has called it “irresponsible” that the socialist federation of Huesca has requested his replacement as head of the party in the Community, just when this week it has been known that during his time As regional president, he refused to buy masks from the plot due to their high price.
