The Street Erupts Over the Koldo Case: 'it's a Disgrace'

The Koldo case continues to make waves. On February 18, the former advisor to José Luis Ábalos testifies as a suspect in the corruption scheme that has implicated high-ranking officials in Sánchez's government.

He is one of the main figures in the alleged scheme, along with Víctor de Aldama and the aforementioned Ábalos. A name that has been dominating the media and conversation topics. EDATV has once again taken to the streets to get a closer look at people's opinions on the case that is causing so many headaches for the socialists.

"It's a disgrace," a woman declared to this outlet, expressing her deepest rejection. Also, a feeling of anger toward the President of the Government himself, Pedro Sánchez: "Leave now," a man commented to the reporter from this outlet.

Cerdán Cornered

The Koldo case made headlines, this time, due to alleged WhatsApp messages implicating socialist deputy Santos Cerdán. These are supposed communications between the socialist and those investigated in the corruption scheme.

This is what La Razón claims. These messages are based on the extraction of the phone of the alleged ringleader of the scheme, Víctor de Aldama. Supposedly, according to the outlet, everything points to Cerdán as one of the most frequent contacts of Ábalos's former advisor, Koldo García.

The conversations in question supposedly suggest that Koldo was the link between Cerdán and Aldama. Despite the ongoing judicial investigations, the deputy supposedly maintains almost daily communication with Koldo.

At one time, he was in charge of overseeing the ballot boxes with the votes from the socialist primaries that propelled Sánchez to leadership. This connection dates back to his time as the former minister's driver, a position he held before becoming involved in other political activities.

According to the outlet, the UCO is working on two reports that focus especially on the PSOE's Secretary of Organization. This work is in response to a magistrate's order.

These documents have been prepared with the aim of clarifying possible links. Connections with the scheme surrounding Koldo García and other implicated individuals, such as José Luis Ábalos.

One of the key points of the investigation will be Milagro. It is a small town in Navarra with just over 3,000 inhabitants, which is a place frequented by Santos Cerdán.

This town, always associated with the socialist leader, could have more relevance than it seems at first glance. Investigators believe it could be the clue that allows progress in the case.
