Ciriza, regarding the award of the works of the Belate tunnels: "I saw nothing"
Santos Cerdán denies that he promised anything and claims that the award of the works was entirely legal. In his words, there was no political intervention.
Bernardo Ciriza , former Councillor for Territorial Cohesion of the Government of Navarre and President of the PSN, has today been the turn of the Committeeof Inquiry set up in the Navarre Parliament on public works awards. On the award of the works of the Belate tunnels, he has assured him that former PSOE Secretary of Organization Santos Cerdán never gave him instructions and never saw anything suspicious.
When the judicial investigation began, Servinabar was expelled from the temporary union of companies Acciona-Oses-Servinabar, from which, according to Ciriza, during his four years as Chief Councillor for Territorial Cohesion, he did not award any works to Sevinabar.
In the same vein, he has denied that Cerdán proposed to him the name of Jesus Polo to run Belate's hiring table . In his words, he had no clue about Cerdán's alleged involvement in Servinabar. "I found out when the UCO report was released," he said.
Asked why he invited Cerdán to his meetings with the Spanish Government on public works because of his "reference position in the PSOE," he replied. "He was secretary of organization and deputy," he added.
At those meetings, he also pointed out that Ciriza himself spoke on behalf of Navarre and that Cerdán's behavior was "normal" and "discreet."
