The Minister of the Presidency, Justice and Relations with the Courts, Felix Bolanosaccused the PP deputy Cayetana Alvarez de Toledo to participate in “the greatest deception in the history of Spain and the most painful, that which concerned the attack of 11-M“. “You were chief of staff of the secretary general of the PP between 2004 and 2008,” assured Bolaños.

Bolaños’ sentence, spoken at the Congress of Deputies, is doubly false: in 2004, Álvarez de Toledo worked in the opinion section of the newspaper The world and their landing at Genoa took place two and a half years later. Furthermore, Angel Acebes He was not general secretary of the popular party at the time of the terrorist attacks; He was Minister of the Interior. The general secretary was Mariano Rajoy.
What is certain is that this Thursday, March 11, 2004, the head of the Interior at the time attributed responsibility for the attacks to ETA, but Álvarez de Toledo was not his chief of staff.
Following Bolaños’ words, Álvarez de Toledo described the minister as “pathological liar” And “recidivist bulocrat”. “In this interrogation, in the current monitoring session and in the last one in which we had a debate, three times now you have said that I was in the PP for 11-M. Do you know when I arrived at the PP? Two and a half years later, sir repeat offender bulocrate” he said.
According to Álvarez de Toledo, what happened with Bolaños “is an anecdote that illustrates a category” because it means that “lying is no longer a way of doing politics but a means of survival.” “You have two great enemies: the TRUE and the justice“, decided the popular.
In his response, Bolaños asked the PP deputy to “calm down” and “Avoid the threatening tone which he always uses in his interventions.” And he reiterated his statement, although this time changing the dates: “You were from 2006 to 2008, if I remember correctly, chief of staff of the secretary general of the PP, in a moment in which the PP encouraged every day the worst deception at the most painful moment for Spain, that ETA was behind the Attack of 11-M“.
A few minutes later, the PP deputy Juan Bravoregretted that Bolaños did not apologize to his partner and accused him of having “a machismo problem.” “Looks like he’s obsessed with our partner,” Bravo said.
