Abalos confirms that Pedro Sanchez and Otegui met in a house: “This interview existed” | Spain

José Luis Abalos has admitted these days, since his home in Valencia, that he is “scared” that he will be able to enter the prison of this young man if the Supreme Court, the petition of some parties, and the precautionary measures that are applied, amends this miracle and decides to transfer the file. The former minister, former organizing secretary and former figure of the Socialist Workers’ Party published a tweet in which he confirmed to “face-to-face sources” that it was “certain” that the current head of government, Pedro Sánchez, met in 2018 with the leader of EH Bildu, Arnaldo Otegui, to address the negotiations of the censure proposal that led to the exit of former president La Moncloa del Popular. Mariano Rajoy. Both President Sanchez and Otegui strongly denied this quote. Abalos faces this young man with the possibility that the judge will order him to go to prison.

Rep. José Luis Abalos, now associated with the Grupo Mixto del Congreso after being expelled from the Socialist Party when his case broke with UCO reports, posted a tweet on his social network account 2018 President Sánchez met with Otegui. The tweet literally reads: “Regarding the meeting between President Pedro Sánchez, Santos Cerdán and Arnaldo Otegui in 2018 in the case of negotiating the censure proposal against Rajoy, I can only decide what they told me personally, which is why this interview exists.”

Abalos, who only enters the Congress and who in these years of the Legislative Council alone has recorded 16 written questions to the government, records this other martes in those who complain to the executive, and in particular to his successor in the Department of Transport, clarifications regarding amateur pork and irregular judicial rulings in the port of Valencia, which depends on this administration.

Information about this assumption was published last weekend by El Diario Digital Spanish This continuation has been confirmed by Koldo García himself, who also believes that this sees the possibility that the Supreme Court will modify its precautionary measures and that she could end her day in prison. Over the past weekend, outside La Moncloa and later, President Sanchez himself, in public appearances and in other executive positions, dismissed this information as “completely false.”

Socialist sources and other parties directly involved in those talks recall that in those days, at the end of May 2018, Sánchez himself had many doubts about the possibility of success of this proposal and stressed that the decisive factor was the change in the position of the National Party of the Philippines, which occurred only in one week of supporting the Presupuestos del Gobierno de Rajoy project to summarize the Tombo bloc.

EH Beldo leader Arnaldo Otegui also came out publicly this month to deny this meeting, then went on to declare that he had never spoken to Sánchez: “It is completely false that this meeting existed. It is an invention and fake news about the reactionary blockade.” I heard more and linked this news to other news published during the day about the 2004 Atocha attacks which some media and parties wrongly attributed to ETA. The leader opened his mouth: “The 11 million will win some election and today they will blatantly lie to try to get into government.”

First Vice President and Deputy Secretary General of the Socialist Workers’ Party, María Jesús Montero, these many years, coming out of the control session of the Congressional Government, also denied the veracity of this information and reverted to various denials, but she also hinted that she did not understand that her former comrade, with what she admitted had a very good relationship, wanted to now sum up those who want to harass President Sánchez says the truth: “I am surprised that Abalos is avenging himself in this way, this is not “His style. I don’t think Abalos will go to war or go to war because he’s defeated. He’ll be disappointed if he goes in. He’ll be hurt.” He linked this confirmation to Otegi’s statement on Twitter that there were those who were disturbed by the judicial procedures, did not give credit to anyone and returned insisting on leaving his deputy’s report. The Socialist Workers’ Party and the government have built these comments on Ábalos into his defense strategy before the Supreme Court for these young people.

The Minister of Hacienda referred to the judicial evidence that on this day the former director and former blackmailer of the PP who was convicted by the Gürtel case was charged for 29 years when he hid 50 million euros in Switzerland and revealed that Abalos now complains for 24 years when he confirmed that he had only 6,000 euros available in his account there.

Montero put these comments from Abalos into his defense strategy before the Supreme Court for this young man and did not give him any credit and insisted that he should leave the representative’s minutes.

The PP later turned to Ábalos’ words to point again against Sánchez. Senate spokeswoman Alicia García concluded that the former minister confirmed in this way “what Sánchez and his followers denied and tried to hide. The hidden agreement between Pedro Sánchez with Otegui was political but also economic. It is an insult that will haunt him forever.”
