In the first monitoring session of November, the two main opposition parties did not miss the opportunity to focus on the latest report issued by the Central Operations Unit of the Civil Guard referring to the Minister … Minister of Regional Policy, Angel Victor Torres, for his links with former Ministerial Advisor Koldo García Conspiracy commission agentVíctor de Aldama, as well as contracts that the Canary Islands government, headed by Torres, supposedly awarded in exchange for bribes to Soluciones de Gestión.
The minister already declared his innocence in a press conference last week after documents collected by the Civil Guard were leaked to the media. Four hundred pages Which, according to him, they concluded that he had not committed any illegal act. Torres resorted to what the report did not say – that it did not mention prostituted women or luxury apartments in Atocha – but he has not yet explained the most problematic aspects of the investigation conducted by the agents.
For this reason, both the Popular Party and Vox used their speaking time on Wednesday to insist that the minister explain the relationship he has with Koldo García and why. “Coercive” officials. To settle the outstanding bills with the plot company as quickly as possible.
The People’s Party deputy, Coca Gamarra, indicated that Torres is celebrating the content of the report “as if he had won the lottery”, because he believes that this exonerates him by omission, “But this is not the end, it is just the beginning.”She announced the moon. “This report leaves you as the collector of the tail of the conspiracy and as a tyrant who hates the Canary Islands officials whom he threatens to blow up,” he said, referring to one of the letters collected by the agents in which Torres speaks with Koldo and refers in these terms to the Director General of Economic Resources of the Canary Islands Health Service, Ana María Pérez.
Torres recovered his health and bragged again that this report that “the PP thought it would be devastating” says nothing. “I thought, Mrs. Qamar, that it would come off with a different tone, and this I will apologize to my family “After two years of defamation.”
The spokesperson for the Vox party in Congress, Pippa Milan, confirmed in the same vein that the minister “is hiding behind what the Civil Guard does not say in order to hide from what the Civil Guard says.” The spokesman noted that this report “is about formalizing… Finger contracts The company was involved in the conspiracy when I was president, when I inflated the contract price for defective masks. “I was the political facilitator of the conspiracy when I was president of the Canary Islands.”
But Torres insists on his innocence, which the Guardia Civil itself indicates in the final conclusions From the aforementioned report That he is innocent, which again gives the UCO a function with which it is incompatible, which is to determine whether someone is guilty or innocent.
“I will continue and fulfill my obligations,” the minister said after the opposition repeatedly asked him to be honest and submit his resignation. “I talked to Mr. Garcia “At the time, I didn’t know there was a corrupt conspiracy. We just wanted to bring medical supplies to our land.”
