Corrupt political corruption

A summary of what will be news today, in two words.

In the midst of great media expectation, Santos Cerdán will appear before the Supreme Court, where the report of the Central Operational Unit of the Civil Guard (UCO) of 12 June and the events that have taken place since the audios with former Minister José Luis Ábalos and his former adviser Koldo García were made public have caused a flood.

The sales contract is dated June 1, 2016, and of the 3,000 shares held by Antxon Alonso, 1,350 were purchased by Santos Cerdán for a euro each.

Attorney Benet Salellas has argued that, given the importance of the case and the parallel trial to which Cerdán is subjected, it is necessary to lift the reserved nature of the hearing and allow its public broadcast.

Among the signatories are also Rafael Vera and Jose Barrionuevo. The letter mentions cases of corruption and "government practices" involving "constitutional change."

At first he proposed to appear on a number of subjects, but the half-days which support the Government required a monographic session on the Koldo-Cerdán affair, which he finally accepted.

The spokesman for the Congress, Patxi Lopez, has said that the situation of the Socialists is being very difficult, waiting for news from the investigation into the alleged corruption plot of Cerdán, Ábalos and Koldo. The former lehendakari has been critical of the gradual disclosure of the detailsof the investigation and has stated that they want to know the whole truth once and for all in order to react properly.

According to the report, the former PSOE Organization Santos Cerdán received commissions for various public works awarded by the Government of Navarre . 

Specifically, the Central Operational Unit of the Civil Guard (UCO) entered the PSOE headquarters on Friday to clone Cerdán's corporate mail.

Accordingto UPN President Cristina Ibarrola, Maria Chivite maintains "the leadership of a government under suspicion and in decline." "Those who have lifted, led and controlled her entire political career have fallen: Cerdán eta Alzórriz. "

The president of UPN has said that "the dignity" of the PSN leadership "has already been lost," but "the dignity of Navarre and the Navarros is at stake and must be maintained."

In an interview with Chain Ser, the former transport minister explained that Cerdán and Koldo placed him in the ministry and then "pressured" him to influence public procurement.

  Eneko Andueza, Secretary General of the PSE-EE, is convinced that it will not affect the Socialist Party of the Basque Country. 

He has also advised those who are criticising the Socialists to be cautious because, according to him, although the focus is now on the Socialists, the issue may be extended to other parties. 

According to the PP spokesman, "the option for the future in the Basque Country, arithmetic, is for the PSE to go with Bildu, regardless of the possibility of the PNV."

"Fortunately in the Basque Country we have a different political climate. We are not in the mud of the Madrileños," the lehendakari said when asked about the possible consequences of the Cerdán case in the Basque Country.

For the President, the Spanish legislature "has entered another phase" following the alleged corruption cases that have occurred in recent days. "The situation is very serious and an ethical line is at stake that cannot be crushed," added Pradales. 

The Deputy Secretary-General of the PSN-PSOE, Ramon Alzórriz, has resigned after informing President Maria Chivite that his partner has been a worker of the Servinavian company.
