The Ministry of Public Works, Transport and Housing of the Government of the Canary Islands denies that any member of its management team has maintained contact with those investigated in the Mediator case. In this line, the portfolio led by the socialist Sebastián Franquis condemns "any attempt to discredit" the members of the Ministry's staff and describes the accusations against the officials of the body as "false implications."
The area denies that the current General Director of Road Infrastructure of the Government of the Canary Islands, José Luis Delgado, has held meetings or conversations with people involved in the plot. "Neither the general director nor any other member of the Ministry's management team," he emphasizes in a statement issued by Public Works, "has held any meeting or communication with any of the people who appear investigated during the time he has been holding this senior position in the regional Executive."
This statement is issued as a result of the information that, citing the summary, alluded to possible conversations between Delgado and the investigated. The Ministry frames these statements "without any trace of credibility", in a campaign of discredit and defamation against the honor of the management team and the employees of the Ministry.
From the area, these accusations are described as "maneuvers of discredit" and insist that they "unfairly place a stigma of suspicion on people who have reliably demonstrated their professionalism and honorability." Therefore, the Ministry despises the statements and reveals "that they seek nothing more than to sow, in an infamous way, a shadow of doubt on the management staff of the Government of the Canary Islands."
