Buxadé reminds Calviño that part of the Koldo scheme’s kickbacks were paid with the European funds she managed
The head of the VOX delegation to the European Parliament, Jorge Buxadé, on Wednesday in Strasbourg portrayed the former Minister of Economy and current president of the European Investment Bank (EIB), Nadia Calviño, whom he reminded that she used to support the closure of nuclear plants in Spain and now says she will finance nuclear projects: “Five years stuck with Sánchez are not wasted”.
He highlighted the Koldo case
The collection of commissions on mask contracts by a scheme led by Koldo García, the “friend of Sánchez” and former advisor to the transport minister, José Luis Ábalos. “An alleged but huge scheme of overpriced public contracts to pay the classic socialist bribe. We are going for 50 million… and rising, funds that were then allegedly laundered in Luxembourg and third countries,” added Buxadé, before recalling that the president of the Congress, Francina Armengol, and the Minister of Democratic Memory, Ángel Víctor Torres, are implicated for contracts when they were presidents of the Balearic and Canary Islands, respectively.
On Tuesday it was announced that the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office sent the European Public Prosecutor’s Office contracts signed with the regional governments of the Balearic and Canary Islands for a combined amount of 15.3 million euros on the understanding that they were paid with European funds and that, therefore, “they fall within the competence of the Community body”.
“And all with European funds, of those that you managed, you can tell us something,” Buxadé reiterated before demanding that Calviño “cut off the tap to Morocco”, dedicate herself to financing any profitable project “freeing the EIB from climate fanaticism” and call Sánchez to tell him to “go home”.
Precisely this Wednesday Buxadé has sent a letter to the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF) to request a thorough investigation into the new PSOE corruption scheme. In the letter he asks to investigate not only the contracts related to the Ministry of Transport of José Luis Ábalos, but also those carried out by the governments of the Balearic and Canary Islands.
