The PNV has "very emphatically" rejected attempts to link itself to the "Cerdan-Abalos-Koldo case" and recalled that it supported the motion of censure following the Gürtel judgment and that the PP did not take responsibility for it, although it has pointed out that Antxon Alonso, also accused, did not influence it.

Following statementsbySantos Cerdán in theSupreme Court , PNV sources have clarified that in the days leading up to the motion of censure against Mariano Rajoy the jeltzale party "met with José Luis Ábalos and Santos Cerdán at the request of the PSOE".

"That assembly, the only one that was held with the leadership of the PSOE, was held in Madrid and was attended, on behalf of the PNV, by Joseba Aurrekoetxea, then head of the Organization area, and Aitor Esteban, who was then spokesperson for  in Congress, for the sole purpose of listening, "he explained.

In addition, the PNV has explained that , on 31 May 2018 , the party leadership "decided in a sovereign manner to vote yes to the motion of censure, after assessing the situation of the People's Party, because the Gürtel judgment was serious and it was unacceptable for the PP not to take political responsibility."

In this context, the PNV adds, "it is ridiculous to say that Antxon Alonso, who is not even a member of the PNV, could have influenced the jeltzale leadership that made that decision. "

Jeltzales stress that "Santos Cerdán 'sdefense strategy against the Supreme is based on lies, as evidenced by the fact that his relationship with Antxon Alonso made it easier for nationalists to vote for the motion of censure. "
