The PNV has denied having requested appointments following the 2018 motion of censure and has nothing to do with the "Cerdán plot"
They deny having requested three public offices from the Spanish Government and reject that the Civil Guard has anything to do with the alleged plot of public works, after a UCO report implicated the party in the 2018 "applications for appointments".
The PNV has categorically denied any connection with thealleged corruption plot investigatedin the Koldo case and has assured that it is unaware of the alleged requests for the appointment of senior officials contained in the latest report of the Central Operational Unit of the Civil Guard, a document according to which Santos Cerdán sent a list of charges to Koldo García and the then Minister, José Luis Ábalos, which the PNV allegedly requested after the motion of censure.
Sources from the jeltzale leadership have stated that "the PNV has not made any request" and that it is "absolutely false" that these appointments had anything to do with the arrival of Pedro Sánchez in La Moncloa, and have insisted that the party has never had any connection with the "alleged plot of public works" investigated by Cerdán, Ábalos, Koldo and several businessmen.
The UCO notes in its report that Cerdán sent an internal message in June 2018, attaching a file called ,in which it included the proposal to maintain Javier Cachón in the Environmental Assessment Directorate of the Ministry of the Environment, as well as two "relevant" posts in Adif and INI or SEPI. The researchers stress that Cachon signed the Environmental Impact Statement in 2019.
According to the Civil Guard, Servinabar was the main route of the allegedly irregular income of Cerdán and details that Acciona would have obtained 2% of the amount of the awards obtained in the projects of Logroño, Sevilla and Sant Feliu de Llobregat. The report states that the company also paid rent, payroll and other payments linked to the family environment of the former PSOE Secretary of Organization.
On the other hand, the UCO has asked Supreme Court Judge Leopoldo Puente to include in the investigation the award of the dubbing of the Belate tunnels, after examining the new connections between Cerdán, Acciona and other operatives.
