The President of the Government of the Canary Islands, Fernando Clavijo (CC), admitted to being “concerned” by the information recently known in a report relating to the Koldo affair and considers it “obvious” that “there was a conspiracy” . » for which he asks to “assume responsibilities”.
“It is obvious that there was a conspiracy because millions of dollars were allocated manually at a very complicated moment for the Canary Islands,” underlined the Canarian president, who asked “to clarify what happened “, because the population “has the right to know what happened to their money”.
For the regional president, the health crisis due to the Covid-19 pandemic was a period when the population was “very vulnerable” and where “certain heartless people” took advantage of it “to do business”.
As he pointed out, “as information emerges from the reports of the Central Operational Unit (UCO) of the Civil Guard, we become more concerned”, because “they contradict the versions given publicly and in Parliament”.
Clavijo believes that a “plausible explanation and assumption of responsibility” is necessary.
Regarding the PP’s decision to take legal action, he recalled that “each party is sovereign and has every right” to do so “if it considers that there is a crime”. He made a distinction between political and judicial responsibilities, the latter to be determined “by the courts”, for which he stressed the desire to be “extremely respectful”.
He admitted to being surprised that “they denied that there were meetings and that there were telephone contacts and the information obtained by the UCO shows not only that there were WhatsApps and meetings but also that there was mediation to protect companies. of the UCO in contact.” conspiracy with Canarian public institutions.
Among the examples, he asked “why a laboratory has exclusive control of the PCR so that people can travel” and in response to which “they denied any relationship”.
The Civil Guard report assures that “there have been relationships, meetings and calls”, and that this “generates a lot of distrust” so “someone will have to show their face”.
As for whether he considers that there should be resignations in the face of these developments in the Kolso case, Clavijo said that “everyone assumes political responsibilities” because in the political part “we saw how the explanations were lacking and the “few of the explanations that were given turned out to be lies.”
