In the middle of a storm due to the disastrous management of the president of the Valencian government, Carlos Mazón, of DANA, which on October 29 caused more than 200 deaths in Valencia, amplified by the lack of self-criticism and taking responsibility in a speech full of lies with the one who tried to explain what happened this Friday in Les Corts, the PP published a video on its social networks which, far from diverting attention, did not than fuel the fire.
Under the title “12 months, 12 legal cases”, the profile of the PP in which close collaborators of the governments of the former mayor of Valencia of the PP, Rita Barberá, are under investigation for the alleged collection of pots -wine in exchange for rewards, thus trying to spread the hoax that this is an investigation linked exclusively to socialists. The PP then deleted the video and re-edited it “corrected”.
In fact, one of the people who appears in the photographic composition attached to the video about the case is the popular Jorge Bellver (top left), appointed General Director of Relations with Les Corts in July 2023 by Mazón himself . Bellver served as urban councilor of Barberá and, according to the latest investigations by the Central Operational Unit (UCO) of the Civil Guard in the “Azud case”, he exchanged telephone messages (SMS) with José María Corbín, brother-in-law by Rita Berberá, whose photo also appears in the video (bottom right). In one of the messages sent on February 3, 2009, Corbín wrote: “Don’t forget to talk to the boss. » Although Bellver is not formally charged, he appears in the summary.
The rest of the photos included in the composition correspond to the former vice mayor of Rita Barberá, Alfonso Grau (center), recently sentenced by the Valencian Court to four and a half years in prison for embezzlement of public funds and the payment of a fine of 5 million euros. euros for a continuing offense of corruption in another case, that of the Imelsa affair, and in October 2023 he received a final conviction for corruption in another separate case, notably for having accepted gifts from a contractor municipal. Grau, expelled from the PP last August, is another of the main people under investigation in the “Azud case”.
The other two faces are those of another protagonist of the conspiracy, the historic socialist lawyer José Luis Vera (bottom left). Top right, Rafael Rubio, former municipal spokesperson for the PSPV during the period under investigation and former deputy Government delegate, has separated from the socialist ranks since his alleged involvement in the affair became known.
