Chivite said the UCO "does not link the Navarre Government to illegal matters"
The President of Navarre has stressed that it was precisely her Government that "requested internal and external audits and is collaborating with the Committee of Inquiry opened in Parliament" with a "transparency exercise". As Secretary-General of the PSN-PSOE, she has stressed that she was not aware of what was said in the UCO's latest report and has strongly rejected the facts "because we come to serve politics and not to profess it".
The President of Navarre, María Chivite, has assured us that she was not aware of the information published by the UCO in its latest report and has stressed that "it does not in any way link the Government of Navarre with illegal accounts or corruption offences" and has shown its "absolute willingness" to cooperate if the judge decides to investigate the award of works for the unfolding of the Belate tunnels.
In the latter report, the UCO recommends that the judge investigate precisely the award of the dubbing of the Belate tunnels, which were awarded to the UTE (Temporary Union of Companies) formed by Acciona, Oses Construccion and Servinabar , linked to the former Secretary of Organization of the PSOE Santos Cerdán.
In statements to Navarra Television during his trip to China, the lehendakari has stressed that "no member of the Navarre Government is charged or investigated" and added that "so far there has been no evidence that we did not know, among other things, about individual votes".
On the contrary, he has stressed that it is precisely his government that 'has called for internal and external audits and is cooperating with the committee of inquiry opened in Parliament' through 'transparency exercise'.
"And of course, all the willingness to cooperate if the judge decides to investigate the tunnels of Belate," he adds, "from no counsel, and of course from the President of the Government of Navarre, from the absolute certainty that there has been no corruption."
It therefore states that the report does not imply any change in the political situation with regard to the actions of the Government of Navarre.
As PSN-PSOE Secretary-General, he has stressed that he was not aware of what was said in the UCO's latest report and has rejected the facts outright because "we come to serve politics and not to profess it".
According to Chivite, "such practices must be far removed from politics," adding that "individual actions have nothing to do with the integrity of a project or the party."
In his words, "what is becoming more and more clear is that this has more to do with the action of a person and his networksthan with the party, which has completely rejected the use of politics in these ways. "
