Sources from the Partido Popular inform Demócrata that next week will be a truly black week for the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez. Events such as the testimonies of José Luis Ábalos and Koldo García, sitting in the dock of the Supreme Court, for the mask case, or the investigation commission in the Senate into the causes of the Adamuz train accident - the main opposition party argues - are the keystone of a complicated week for the leader of the Socialist Party.
What awaits Pedro Sánchez
Popular sources confirm to this newspaper that the statements of José Luis Ábalos and Koldo García on Wednesday before the Supreme Court will be the culmination of four weeks of trial in which witnesses have accredited the mask scam, irregularities in the PSOE's accounting, bags full of money entering Ferraz, nepotism for the minister's 'nieces' and notes for rigging public works contracts.
The UCO - these same sources underline - has also denied the written testimonies of Armengol and Torres, the preferential treatment of Ribera and Maroto towards the hydrocarbon plot has been confirmed, and that Montero forgave a debt to Aldama. But the most singled out - they emphasize - is Sánchez: for allowing all this and for personally getting involved, mobilizing Ábalos and Calviño, in the rescue of Air Europa after the meetings of Begoña Gómez with the company's CEO.
Furthermore - recall the PP sources consulted -, this week a new investigation will begin into the Adamuz train accident, for which the Government has not yet assumed any political responsibility despite the very serious information known in recent weeks. With this accident - they note -, the Executive acts as with corruption: the Ministry that placed Koldo in Renfe, Jéssica in Adif and Andrea in LogiRail is the same one that hired the company that hired Koldo himself for track maintenance with Óscar Puente already in charge.
Likewise -Genoa sources point out-, this Monday the appearances in the Senate Investigation Commission will begin with the presidents of Adif and the Railway Accidents Commission. Work will continue on Thursday with the summons of the president of Renfe and the general secretary of the Train Drivers' Union.
Bravo asks the Government for responsibility for the management of the blackout and Adamuz
Who has spoken this Sunday about Adamuz, and also about other issues such as the blackout, which turns one year old on the 28th, has been the Deputy Secretary General of Finance, Housing and Infrastructure, Juan Bravo Baena.
The Andalusian counselor has demanded that the president of Adif "tell the truth" tomorrow in the Senate, assume responsibilities and apologize for the Adamuz accident: "Enough lies," he stated.
Bravo has also criticized the Government for hiding information, not assuming responsibilities, or asking for forgiveness: “Adamuz and the blackout are the same contempt from Sánchez”.
At this point, the popular director has considered it outrageous that Puente "has time to create websites to clear his name, but not to meet with those affected by the Adamuz accident.
Likewise, the person responsible for Treasury matters in the People's Party has warned that another year without budgets and without infrastructure maintenance worsens the risk of more accidents, a matter for which he has underlined that the PP - as Demócrata already reported this week - will launch an infrastructure plan of 300 billion euros, which will be executed between the next 10 and 15 years.
