The former mayor of Barcelona, Ada Colau, has highlighted the existence of "proven facts" in the Plus Ultra case and in the indictment of the former President of the Government, José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, which, although "they may be legal, they are not pretty" and which, in her opinion, are not "ethical on the part of someone who has held the highest responsibility".
During an interview on the program 'Al rojo vivo' on 'La Sexta', reported by Europa Press, the former councilwoman insisted that, from a legal point of view, one must be "very prudent" and "respect the presumption of innocence", although she remarked that "there are things that are known that may be legal, but they are not pretty".
Colau has maintained that this procedure reflects "that bipartisan culture of relationship between the public and the economic world of the great elites", in which, as she pointed out, not only the PP intervenes, but also "the PSOE has done so".
In this vein, she recalled that "there are things that are legal like revolving doors that are not ethical and many people, I believe the social majority, want there to be that change in the political culture of our country".
The former mayor of Ciudad Condal has also added that "in the world of economics there should be mechanisms to prevent that from happening", demanding greater firewalls between public officials and business interests.
Finally, Colau referred to Zapatero as "a valid person", although she clarified that he is not "an ethical reference" for her, recalling that it was against his Government, from the platform of those affected by mortgages, when she developed the "most important" activism of her life.
