The government attacks businessman Víctor de Aldama. In fact, they already have one prepared complaint for insults and slander against the commission agent after this Thursday declare voluntarily before the National Court and pointed the finger at up to six members and former members of the Executive of Pedro Sánchez. After Aldama’s incendiary accusations, Moncloa maintains the same discourse: no credibility, comparisons with “Little Nicolás” and even ironies about the collaboration with intelligence services like the CIA which the businessman claims to have maintained.
In the document, already registered in the afternoon of this Friday, the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, the Vice President María Jesús Montero and his chief of staff, Carlos Moreno, appear as complainants; the Minister of Territorial Policy, Ángel Víctor Torres; the president of the Generalitat of Catalonia and former Minister of Health, Salvador Illa; and Santos Cerdán, organizational secretary of the PSOE. Without forgetting the president’s wife, Begoña Gómez.
From Moncloa they claim that Gómez, investigated by until four crimes -embezzlement, professional intrusion, business corruption and influence peddling- on the grounds that the Judge’s hairstyle gives instructions against, appears as a signatory because he is a member of the PSOE. But also for having been mentioned by Aldama when, in his statement on Thursday, he assured that he had a meeting with her and the former Minister of Ecological Transition, Teresa Ribera, about empty Spain.
However, this document does not yet have the form of a complaint. Otherwise, for the moment, what they presented corresponds to an act of conciliation. That is to say, the government and the socialists give the commissioner the possibility of retracting what he said before Judge Ismael Moreno, instructor of the ‘Koldo affair‘. If you do not do so, a complaint for defamation and insult will be filed.
The government’s argument
After his first meeting with the journalists who were waiting for him when he left Soto del Real this Thursday evening, the commissioner was more gentle with those who were waiting for him at the door of his house early this Friday. Although he did not drop his defiant tone, ensuring that “has the proof.”
After admitting to feeling “fatal” and asking him what his impression was of the description of the “character” that Sánchez had dedicated to him, he declared “Let the president continue to say what he wants to say”because he, he insists, has proof: “Otherwise, I wouldn’t say it.” Some elements of evidence that the anti-corruption prosecution considers could have intervened in the filesalthough they admit that to this day they do not know that Aldama will bring them.
What is clear is that his statement before Judge Moreno was explosive, since it did not stop only at the former Minister of Transport, Jose Luis Abalosand his former advisor Koldo García. The commission agent tried to dirty six other members or former members of the government of Pedro Sánchez, to which the response was unanimous and the terms used are very similar.
One of the first to speak during the morning of this intense Thursday was Santos Cerdán, who assured that the businessman “has no credibility”. A few hours later and reported to the Congress of Deputies, the new tax packageSánchez said he would give the Aldama’s “deserved credit”: “none”. Montero, for his part, limited himself to denying having had any encounter “in his life” with the businessman.
Beyond denying any vestige of truth in the words of the former president of Zamora CF, the ministers use other issues such as their similarities with the mythical ‘Little Nicholas» or when it comes to being ironic, to minimize the importance of the fact that de Aldama claimed to have collaborated with secret services such as the CIA or MI6. Of course, this Friday afternoon it was confirmed that He was an informant for the Civil Guardas well as received a decoration for that.
Bolaños took it upon himself to recall the fictional organization led by the fictional characters Mortadelo and Filemón: “This man claimed to be a collaborator of MI6 and the CIA, he did not say that he was TIA Agent“. An ingenuity that he took up and that his teammate, Ángel Víctor Torres, also used.
In turn, the Minister of Territorial Policy remembered the figure of “Little Nicolas”although he assures, paraphrasing certain media: “It was a grotesque apparition. Some media spoke of a new ‘Little Nicolás’.” The vice president also mentioned this character, who has already your own documentary.
Aldama attacks, Sánchez defends
In addition, “character” was one of the adjectives that the President of the Government used to designate businessmen. And in his statement he also put Sánchez in his crosshairs, assuring that their relationship was closer than the socialist himself has recognized until now. Something that angered Aldama who described Sánchez as a “mythomaniac” who “suffers from Alzheimer’s disease”.
In fact, in a derivative of “credit, none”, Sánchez assured that the businessman’s statements were nothing other than “what an invention”: “A little more and I was waiting for this man arrives to do the [[LINK:INTERNO|||Article|||671e5faac913b0e40a0af7a3|||mitin [de La Latina]]]“, he assured. However, Aldama responded by asserting that “the photos he takes with anyone are taken on the street, not in private spaces”, and even threatening: “Since he wants so much proof, Mr. Sánchez should not worry, he will have proof of everything that has been said.”
