A technical position admitted there were "rumors" that Belate's contract would be taken by Acciona and Servinabar
Lorenzo Serena, who was secretary of the Belate Tunnel Works Contracting Bureau, disagreed with the award process and asked for an assessment of the offer to be made in order to avoid "suspicion."

Attorney Lorenzo Serena stated today in the Senate that during the proceedings he asked to explain "at least" how the evaluation of the offers was made in order to avoid "suspicions" that, he admitted, there were "rumours" that the contract would be taken by a particular company. Serena acted as secretary of the Belate tunnel works contracting table and expressed her disagreement with the process followed in the award.
It should be recalled that the contractor of this work was the temporary union of companies formed by Acciona and Servinabar, the latter owned by Antxon Alonso, while, according to a letter found by the Civil Guard, Santos Cerdán, former PSOE Secretary of Organization, would own 45%, which the former socialist leader denies.
Serena explained that during the bidding review process, together with other members of the procurement bureau, she asked for the evaluation of the bids to be justified.
"Examples were given of walking around the house, but it should not be accurate, just to reveal the most important element, at least to give the reason for the scores," Serena explained in the Senate Committee of Inquiry into the 'Koldo case'.

I've cast 10 individual votes over 28 years.
Counsel, who gave an individual opinion in the proceedings, referred to the "context in which we were" within the framework of this tender, "the rumours that a particular company was going to carry it," stressing that he had the right to reason for the valuation of that company, so that "there was no thought of arbitrariness."
In response to questions from UPN Senator Maria Caballero, Serena said that "the rumours were that a certain company was going to take her, and that company eventually took over the contract, so we wanted the justification so that no one would suspect it," she insisted.
In addition, counsel has stated that in the Navarre Parliament they said it was "customary" to have individual votes at the recruitment tables, which "is not true. "" I have cast 10 individual votes over 28 years of career, "he explained.
