The latest report by the Central Operational Unit ofthe Civil Guard (UCO) on theKoldo casehas caused a wave of reactions among the Navarre parties. The document refers to UPN's complaint of alleged irregularities in the award of the works of the Belate tunnels and suggests that, if so decided by the Supreme Court judge, this award could be included in the special case investigating other public procurement.

UPN President Cristina Ibarrolahas stated that the report "supports" her party's complaint and believes that President Maria Chivite is "increasingly targeted."

In the same vein, the President of the Navarra PP, Javier García, has stated that, "in view of the gravity of the content" of the new report, the "external inspections" announced by the Foral Government "are no longer valid" and that Chivite's "only exit is resignation".

The PSN, for its part, has referred to former socialist leader Santos Cerdán , referring to the information collected by the UCO. In a statement, the Socialists have stated that the facts described are "unacceptable" because "it does not correspond to the political responsibility that should be done with rigour, transparency and institutional respect".

According to the Navarre Socialists, citizens "deserve more respect" and the conduct described in the report "is very damaging to public confidence".
