You have to go back a long way to understand everything that is implied. the fall of José Luis Ábalos. The former government minister, in 1997, appeared at a lectern at the age of 38 to speak about the need for change and renewal within the PSOE.
In a PSOE which had just lost the elections a year earlier. Consumed by corruption cases. It was there An Ábalos appeared who demanded ethics from the socialists.
“There we failed, on a moral level”» said Ábalos, who in his time presented himself as a scourge of corruption. First, in his own party; then, against that of the PP. It was he, Sánchez’s faithful squire, who launched this motion of censure against Rajoy.
Until then, he was the big name of the Valencian party. The renovator. The one who appeared coiffed and, sometimes, shaved. No beard. See how The media called him “Abalos” and not Ábalos. Because his real beginnings were with Sánchez. It was with the current president of the government. With someone he supported and helped Ferraz achieve and the presidency with the aforementioned motion of censure.
NOW, about to be indicted for the “Koldo affair”. This is how Anticorruption understands it, which in the report sent to Ismael Moreno, judge of the National Court, insists on the “main role” that Ábalos occupied in the plot.
“It is difficult to understand the operation developed by Koldo García Izaguirre and Víctor de Aldama Delgado, without the participation of José Luis Ábalos”says the Anticorruption report.
