This Is the Former President of Ineco Who Hired Jessica by Ábalos's Order
Jessica was hired as an administrative assistant, although, according to her own testimony, she never actually performed any work tasks.
The recent statement by Jessica R., former partner of José Luis Ábalos, before the Supreme Court has shed light on her hiring at the public companies Ineco and Tragsatec. According to her testimony, she obtained these positions without performing effective work functions, which has raised questions about hiring practices in these entities.
During the period in question, Carmen Librero presided over Ineco. Her management spanned from September 2018 to January 2022. During this time, Jessica R. was hired as an administrative assistant, although, according to her own testimony, she never performed work tasks.
Carmen Librero Pintado held the position of president of Ineco, the public company dependent on the Ministry of Transport, from September 2018 to January 2022. Her career in the public sector began during the government of the People's Party, where she was the general secretary of Transport between 2012 and 2018.
After her time at Ineco, Librero was appointed special commissioner for Transport, Mobility and Urban Agenda. A newly created position under Minister Raquel Sánchez.

Her figure has been closely linked with former Minister José Luis Ábalos, with whom she shared not only professional responsibilities but also official trips, such as the one to Mexico in 2021.
The hiring of Jessica R. at Tragsatec has also caused controversy. This company, a subsidiary of Tragsa and dependent on the Ministry of Finance, was under the direction of Jesús Casas Grande during the period in question. As in Ineco, Jessica R. admitted to having received remuneration without performing effective work.
The involvement of high-ranking officials in these hirings has sparked debates about ethics and transparency in public administration. Although Jessica R. claimed not to have directly requested Ábalos for her hiring, her relationship with the former minister and the intervention of his advisor, Koldo García, in managing her housing and employment raise doubts about possible undue influences.

The ongoing investigation seeks to clarify the circumstances surrounding these hirings and determine if irregularities or favoritism occurred. The continuity of some of those responsible in public positions adds complexity to the case and underscores the need for a thorough review of selection procedures in state companies.
This case highlights the importance of ensuring transparent and merit-based hiring processes in the public sector. Public trust in institutions largely depends on the integrity and rectitude with which public resources and opportunities are managed.
As investigations progress, it is expected that individual responsibilities will be clarified and measures will be implemented to prevent similar situations in the future.
