Coalición Canaria (CC) urged this Sunday the Socialist Party (PSOE) in the Canary Islands to take a “step forward” after a new report from the Central Operative Unit (UCO) of the Civil Guard was made public, which shows contacts of the secretary of the Canarian socialists and Minister of Territorial Policy, Ángel Víctor Torres, during his time as president of the Canary Islands with those allegedly responsible for the plot being investigated in the framework of the so-called Koldo case.
The Canarian nationalists point out that the content that has transpired in the last hours of the police investigation “is serious enough” and forces the socialists “to show their faces to the Canarians and purge political responsibilities if necessary.”
From Coalición Canaria they warn that “neither silence nor noise to divert attention can be the response of the PSOE” to those who invite “to do an exercise of responsibility and transparency because what we are talking about is how they managed and what they did in the midst of a health crisis with the resources of all Canarians, first for the acquisition of masks and secondly, as stated in the UCO report, for the contracting of PCR tests for Canarians residing abroad.”
The Canarian nationalists emphasize that the leader of the Canarian socialists, Ángel Víctor Torres, “is taking time to explain why his name appears linked to those of the four investigated in the alleged corrupt plot for the contracting of PCR tests”, which is added to the contracting, during his time as president of the Canary Islands, of the masks that never arrived in the Canary Islands for an amount of 4 million euros.
For CC “the police investigation is clear and is sufficient reason for the Canarian socialists to show their faces and make their management transparent during the health crisis.”
