Begoña Gomez , wifeof the President of the Spanish Government, was excluded from the rescue of the airline  Air Europa in the midst of the pandemic Victor de Aldama, alleged councillor of the 'Koldo case'.

In a audio that is already in the case file, he told Garcia that statement. The entrepreneur acknowledges that pressure was exerted on the then Ministers of Transport and Economy, José Luis Ábalos and Nadia Calviño, respectively, and on thestill Minister of Finance, María Jesús Montero. 

"As to what you tell me about Air Europe, which they want to tie everything around, where there has been pressure with Begoña, nothing is true," De Aldama told his former advisor.

However, the Central Operational Unit of the Civil Guard (UCO) did not include this audio in the final report submitted to the Supreme Court, according to Público , which states that such audio would cancel the conclusions of the UCO onthe connection of José Luis Ábalos to the public money loan granted to Air Europa. \u00a0 

The businessman stressed that the "operation"of the rescue had been open since March or April 2020, and that it finally went ahead in November. He also praised what the family owner of Air Europa had done:"Pepe Hidalgo has put in all the guarantees, he has put in hotels, he has put in everything, where is the strange action towards this behavior or where is the pressure?

"Of course there has been pressure, but there has been pressure on Minister Calviño, there has been pressure on Minister Montero, there has been pressure on Minister Ábalos, there has been pressure on everyone because, as has been said, it is a strategic company and, if the loan was not granted, the companywas closed eta 50,000 people were going to the streets, "Aldama said in that audio.
