We knew that the government is a lying machine, but at least its ministers could lie in a coordinated manner. It is, with a minimum of synchronicity, that the response of the Executive to the illegal entry of the vice-president of the Venezuelan dictatorship, Delcy Rodríguez, after learning that Pedro Sánchez had given his consent to José Luis Ábalos when he informed him of the planned meeting, was apotheotic. Sánchez justified himself by the fact that Delcy Rodríguez’s visit was “a private visit”, while Pilar Alegría defended herself by arguing that “there was only and exclusively a technical stopover for the personnel of the plane which carried Vice President Delcy to rest”. . It wouldn’t hurt if, since they’re going to lie, they agreed on the lie.
The truth is that the UCO report shows that up to seven ministers and the president of the Congress of Deputies are seriously affected by the Civil Guard document, since it becomes clear that they were aware of the movements of the plot, some with a certain degree. of direct involvement like Francina Armengol or Víctor Torres, who maintained a very close relationship with one of the ringleaders, Koldo García, advisor and right-hand man of José Luis Ábalos. In short, the criminal organization led by Víctor de Aldama circulated freely in the socialist ministerial departments – Transport, Economy, Health, Industry, Ecological Transition, Interior and Territorial Policy – with a degree of impunity unprecedented in a democracy. More from Moncloa, obviously, who is now desperately trying to limit the scandal to the surroundings of Ábalos.
And since they are overwhelmed, they walk like headless chickens in a spasmodic flight without even having time to develop a credible defense plan. For this reason, Sánchez says one thing and Minister Alegría – what a week she says – the opposite. What if Delcy Rodríguez came on a private visit, what if it was just a technical stop… They are nervous and the worst thing is that it has only just begun.
