Zapatero denies having "any contact" with Plus Ultra and denies having held meetings with Ábalos or other leaders
The former President of the Spanish Government appeared in the Senate on Monday in the committee of inquiry into the 'Koldo case' and answered questions about UPN's connection with Plus Ultra, among others.
Former Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero appeared in the Senate on Monday at the request of the People's Party, where he denied having "anything to do" with the rescue of the Plus Ultra airline. He described as "falsehood" reports that he held meetings with José Luis Ábalos or other public authorities.
This has been explained by the former Socialist President at the Koldo Case Inquiry Committee, which has repeatedly denied having acted as a mediator or facilitator for the rescue of the airline.
In this context, Zapatero has stressed that he has never spoken to the Spanish President, Perdo Sánchez, about the rescue of Plus Ultra, nor with any other member of the Executive. Zapatero has said, however, and as an anecdote, that he has sometimes spoken to Sanchez about the "sensations" of the committee of inquiry on the Koldo case.
Asked if he knows the president of Plus Ultra, Zapatero could say that he has once greeted him as he greets "thousands of people," but he has clarified that he has never had "any communication or meeting" with him.
"I've never had any contact with Plus Ultra and I've never been asked for anything for Plus Ultra," Zapatero said several times.
In the face of "reports" that he had met with Minister José Luis Ábalos to discuss Plus Ultra, Zapatero has stated that the former Minister of Transport himself has denied it and has clarified that he only met him once, when Ábalos was minister, and after the rescue.
As detailed, Deputy Secretary of Transport Pedro Saura has also denied that he met with him to discuss Plus Ultra. "I did not talk to any public authority or any public employee about the rescue of Plus Ultra."
