María Jesús Montero asks PP for clarifications on whether they are aware of the change in the “control” system for SAS emergency contracts

First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance, Maria Jesus MonteroOn Wednesday, he requested clarifications from the Deputy Secretary for Independent and Local Coordination and Electoral Analysis of the People’s Party and the Congress representative, Elias Bendoudoualthough he knew, because of his previous position As presidential advisor to the Andalusian Junta, the change in the system of “control” of emergency contracts carried out by the Andalusian Health Service (SAS), which is being investigated by the judicial system.

Monteiro spoke after Pindudo asked him a question in the observation session of the plenary session of the House of Representatives about the presentation of the General State Budgets (PGE) and also informed him that “all the polls declare” that as the candidate of the PSOE-A for the presidency of the Andalusian Junta in the 2026 elections, she will obtain “the worst result in the history” of the party in the Community and they are already “missing” her predecessor, Juan Espadas. Montero responded to the Popular Party deputy who blamed him for devoting himself to implementing the “law of repression,” saying: “Mr. Pindudo, when someone always expects defeats for the other, it is because he is not sure of his victory.”

She also added, with regard to the People’s Party, she and the Prime Minister, Pedro SanchezHe had to “know all the ins and outs of the judicial cases that we knew”, referring to the “Koldo Case” or the “Cerdan Case”, while the head of the PP-A and the Andalusian Military Council, Juanma MorenoHe has not heard “anything” about what is happening with his party in the Almería Provincial Council for five years. “Of course, making the argument that you don’t know anything after five years, because they don’t answer your phone, according to Moreno Bonilla, has its own quality,” said the first vice president, who asked Bendudo if they had already picked up the phone.

He also asked Pindudo if he knew that “coded language” of the “PP conspiracy in Almeria: going to the dentist, toothache or cleaning the mouth.” “This is the form and way of working of the Popular Party of Almería and the Popular Party of Andalusia and you know nothing,” he attacked Bendudo, who insisted on being asked if he “did not discover anything” when he was presidential advisor in the Moreno government. “According to you.” The second-in-command in the government, as you put it to me, must know everythingBut in your case, this rule no longer applies to this conversion path, Montero added.

In line with statements made at the Investigative Court No. 13 of Seville within the framework of the investigation into SAS emergency contracts, Monteiro noted that officials from the administration made it clear that the current independent government I changed the system “Pre-monitoring with subsequent censorship in some health contracts that were concluded outside the law despite the Ministry of Finance’s warning of their illegality.” Pindudo asked if he was aware of this change in the “oversight” system for emergency contracts, because there were “many explanations to be given.”
