The socialist senator Manuel Fajardo has stated that in the PSOE “whoever violates the code of conduct of the General Courts or behaves in a presumably illegal way, leaves", while asking: "And in the Popular Party?", because "we have already seen that they are capable of removing from the presidency of their party whoever tried to fight against the alleged corruption of Ayuso or wanting to abandon the headquarters of Génova 13 for constituting a symbol of corruption. We, on the other hand, have taken 16 hours to expel a deputy for improper and unjustifiable behavior", he added.
Fajardo has thus confronted the statements "lacking rigor and full of histrionics" with which the PP senator, Sergio Ramos, has assessed the 'Mediator case' during an interview this Friday on the Canarian Regional Radio: "In matters of corruption, the PP can only give lessons on how to cover it up".
"They are not in a position to do more, much less when their president and candidate for the presidency of the Canary Islands, Manuel Domínguez, continues without giving due explanations about his contacts with the intermediary of the Mediator Case, especially if it is true that he knew for a year the serious accusations that allude to him." That is the bar that the PP has set to define those involved, that is, the name given by the mediator, to whom they give total credibility, a subject on which the stigma of corruption extends, so, in the same way, the president of the Junta de Andalucía Juan Manuel Moreno Bonilla and some of his advisors would have to give explanations.
Fajardo has also launched a series of questions to Sergio Ramos about all those current issues in which "his formation is not being precisely exemplary": "What day and at what time is Mr. Feijóo going to expel the senator and mayor of Marbella for having assets of 12 million euros that she does not know how to justify? What day and at what time is he going to apologize for the 'kitchen case' and for having used public money to cover up the corruption of his party? What has been the day and time that his party will expel from the PP Minister Fernández Díaz and the rest of those investigated, accused or convicted who have been involved in the multiple cases of corruption that have plagued his party? What day and at what time are you going to explain to us why he went on vacation with a drug trafficker? (We have been waiting for ten years...) What day and at what time is Mr. Feijóo going to explain to us how he has increased his assets by 600 thousand euros in two years? Or how much money does he charge from the PP? Why doesn't he declare it? What is he hiding? In short, when is Mr. Feijóo going to apologize for being the only political party in the recent democratic history of this country to have been convicted in a final judgment as a participant for lucrative title of acts of corruption?"
"In matters of corruption, the PP can only give lessons on how to cover it up. We, zero tolerance, demanding at the same time, once again, the opportune explanations about the role of Manuel Domínguez in this whole case." "If he believed the mediator, his obligation was to have denounced under penalty of incurring otherwise in a crime and if he did not believe him, because he gave him zero credibility, then why does he believe him when he names people who are members of the PSOE?"
For Manuel Fajardo, the PP's desperation to regain power is making him "commit reckless imprudence, accusing all PSOE members of being participants, accomplices or cover-ups of events that are being prosecuted." He has warned Ramos that "not everything is valid in politics, no matter how much it hurts them that the Spanish men and women have placed their majority confidence in the PSOE in the last elections both nationally and regionally."
