Three weeks following the explosion Koldo case, the Government is trying to completely turn the pressure once morest the PP, especially now that the Prosecutor’s Office has denounced Alberto González Amador, partner of the president of the Community of Madrid, for alleged tax fraud and an alleged crime of falsifying a commercial document. , Isabel Díaz Ayuso. The total amount defrauded through a scheme of false invoices would amount to 350,951 euros, according to Treasury calculations, corresponding to the fiscal years of 2020 and 2021, in business with the healthcare giant Quirón.
Since the press conference of the Council of Ministers, the spokesperson, Pilar Alegría, has charged once morest Ayuso and has demanded that she give explanations and assume responsibility. She has even pointed out that the PSOE will request Ayuso’s appearance in the investigative commission that it has promoted in Congress on all health contracts in the pandemic as a result of the Koldo case. “What the Prosecutor’s Office denounces is very serious,” Alegría began. “It is urgent and necessary that Mrs. Ayuso give the maximum explanations as soon as possible. I ask Mrs. Ayuso for more transparency and less fruit. Mrs. Ayuso is very talkative when she has to point out or insult others, but she is very timid when she has to assume responsibilities or give explanations,” she concluded.
The Government is convinced that Ayuso, who has already experienced scandals with other people around him (first due to his father, who received aid from the Community of Madrid that he never returned, and then his brother, who pocketed a commission of 234,000 euros) for a mask contract that she sold to her sister’s government in the middle of the pandemic), will come out of this matter shaken.
There is a lot of discussion in the political world because this is an issue that affects Ayuso’s partner, not herself. Pedro Sánchez showed his indignation at the fact that some information two weeks ago tried to implicate his wife, Begoña Gómez, with the plot of the Koldo case for a meeting he held with businessmen involved in this matter. However, in La Moncloa they point out that both issues have nothing to do with each other.
One, that of Gómez, is for the president’s entourage “a hoax” in which there is no suspicious or criminal matter, and, in fact, there is no investigation once morest her; and the other is a specific fact in which the Prosecutor’s Office denounces Ayuso’s partner, who has recently bought an apartment in which she lives, for alleged tax fraud of 350,000 euros. The president of Madrid continues to be one of the people most responsible for the taxes of Madrid residents, since she controls the transferred part and has room for fiscal decision-making; so much so, that she has practically eliminated the Wealth Tax and has reduced others to a minimum.

Several ministers came in due to the matter of the apartment. The one from Transportation, Óscar Puente, pointed out this point in the Senate plenary session and the one from the Treasury, María Jesús Montero, was direct in the corridors of the Upper House. “This case requires the president to explain whether she is living in an apartment that was paid for thanks to a fraud on the public treasury of commissions during the worst of the pandemic. It is striking that a president of an autonomous community has a brother and now a boyfriend related to cases of fraud and commissions in the worst of the pandemic,” said Montero. The vice president also attacked the leader of the PP with this matter: “Feijóo speaks with a small mouth because he is afraid to denounce the alleged corruption around Mrs. Ayuso. “He is trying to prevent her destiny from being that of Mr. Casado.”
Meanwhile, Alegría has made it very clear that the Government is not going to take a profile in the Ayuso couple’s scandal, on the contrary: they are going to play this trick hard following suffering a lot of pressure from the PP for the Koldo case. The socialists insist that the big difference between them and the PP is that as soon as they learned regarding the case of the plot linked to Koldo García they began to take measures, and quickly asked José Luis Ábalos for the minutes for political responsibility regarding his business. advisor and promoted this commission of inquiry. This, in his opinion, contrasts with the reaction of the PP. Alegría has pointed out that the PSOE will take advantage of this commission to declare Ayuso. “The PP did not vote in favor of that commission. It is always positive to participate in these transparency exercises. I think it is important that Mrs. Ayuso also give explanations in that commission in Congress,” Alegría said.
“What the prosecution reports are very serious facts, they are two crimes of tax fraud. Ayuso has said that there is no plot or anything. Any leader of the PP should be cautious when he talks regarding plots. We already saw how the leader of the PP, Mariano Rajoy, when the riot broke out Gürtel case, said that there was no plot of the PP, but once morest the PP, and we already know how it ended,” the spokesperson insisted. The general line this Tuesday throughout the majority bloc is a harsh attack once morest Ayuso, from whom both Sumar, Podemos and Bildu have demanded responsibilities in their appearances in Congress, while the PP limits itself to pointing out, as its leader, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, that this is a matter of Ayuso’s partner and she is not investigated.
