The PP announced this Monday that it would call Francisco Salazar to testify before the commission of inquiry into the Koldo case in the Senate, which has become a mixture against the government that has already addressed the Delcy case since the rescue of Air Europa. “Paco Salazar was no stranger to Pedro Sánchez. He was the fifth of Peugeot,” explained Alicia García, spokesperson for the PP in the Senate.
García criticized the fact that the President of the Government wants to “silence” the “sexual scandal” with “second or third order” dismissals, which arrive “very late and are very short”, in reference to the dismissal of Antonio Hernández, right-hand man of Paco Salazar in Moncloa, after elDiario.es revealed on Sunday the protection granted to the behavior of his boss and friend, according to the complainants. The popular senator accused Sánchez of “covering up” for Salazar because “he knows too much”: “He knows Sánchez’s primaries, he knows the shenanigans and he knows the Peugeot gang, of which he was part.
Those of Feijóo have not set a date for the summons of the former Moncloa councilor and the commission already has several days closed for next week: Francisca Muñoz, wife of the former PSOE organizational secretary Santos Cerdán, is summoned on December 15, and her husband must appear two days later, on the 17th.
The PP, which has a large majority in the Senate, uses the commission of inquiry as a tool against the government: more than 90 appearances have taken place there on an amalgam of questions with an alleged “link” with Sánchez. The mix of topics discussed ranges from mask contracts during the pandemic, to the rescue of the airline Air Europa, to the attributions of the public company Red.es to the businessman Juan Carlos Barrabés, to the tasks of the advisor who managed the agenda of Begoña Gómez, wife of the president of the government, to the so-called Delcy affair, or to the so-called Paradores parties during the pandemic in which former minister José Luis Ábalos would have participated.
Five months without response
The President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, assured on Saturday that he assumed the “error” in the “first person” of the PSOE in the face of the complaints against Francisco Salazar on his anti-harassment channel, which were short-circuited, as revealed by elDiario.es on December 1.
In five months, neither complainant has received a response from their party. In fact, their complaints disappeared from the system. The PSOE only accepted the processing of the two documents after this newspaper reported on the situation and accredited the existing complaints.
The complaints described Salazar’s behavior thus: “One day, in the middle of the office, he staged a fellatio in a very detailed way, without it being relevant. In private, he crossed other limits. I do not go into details through this means of complaint because it does not give me the security that it will not have consequences. And, in short, because I am still afraid”, emphasized one of them. The other complainant reported to the party “explicit behavior, humiliating jokes and comments about sex life, clothing or physical appearance.”
