The socialist group in Congress has begun to legally assist some socialist deputies who have been pointed out by the media in the alleged corruption plot of the Mediator case and ensures that they are linked “with events that have not occurred at all.”
Sources from the socialist group quoted by EFE have reported that “given the information that has appeared in the last few hours in different media in which some of our deputies are pointed out, the socialist group is already assisting them in the legal proceedings that each of them are starting right now against those who link them to events that have not occurred at all”.
The Minister of the Presidency, Félix Bolaños, has claimed “not to tarnish” the reputation of people who “have absolutely nothing to do with this case.” Likewise, he has highlighted that the socialist formation “has already done what it had to do” in reference to the expulsion of the deputy Juan Bernardo Fuentes Curbelo when he learned of the situation. “When (the PSOE) finds a rotten apple, it immediately expels it from the basket,” Bolaños said.
Some media such as OK Diario publish this Thursday the names of several socialist deputies, including Javier Alfonso Cendón and Andrea Fernández from Leon, and Indalecio Gutiérrez from Almeria, citing them as some of the parliamentarians who participated in the dinners linked to the Mediator case.
Specifically, this digital medium affirms that the so-called mediator Marco Antonio Navarro Tacoronte has assured the editor of the newspaper, Eduardo Inda, that one of the aforementioned deputies participated in the meeting with company girls along with former deputy Juan Bernardo Fuentes Curbelo.
The three aforementioned deputies have flatly denied the information published and have indicated that they will take legal action. “Fully false information about me is being published. Not everything goes, the word of an allegedly corrupt and delinquent has no credibility. I am going to take legal action to safeguard my innocence and my honor”, the deputy for Almería has had an impact on Twitter, while the PSOE Secretary for Equality, Andrea Fernández, has insisted on the same line.
“I have received so much harassment in networks and outside of them these three years that this borders on silence. However, I will take legal action. I will go to the end using justice. Enough of these fops profiting by doing harm with defamation. No anything goes”, Andrea Fernández pointed out in a tweet.
The deputy for León Alfonso Cendón has also written on the same social network that “to all those who are insulting and slandering me on social and digital networks, I only have to tell you one thing: see you in court”
