A few days ago, the current president of Castilla-La Mancha and socialist candidate for re-election, Emiliano García-Page, stated that he had been “spied on for a long time” without giving more information, only announcing that the information would be released in the coming days. . And it was his predecessor and mentor, also former Defense Minister, José Bono, who was in charge of revealing it almost at the end of the campaign: when he was a spokesman for the Bono government, Page was in the “focus” of ETA. The former president has known this for years because the Ministry of the Interior told him so.

During an electoral rally, Bono, after showing his indignation at the van of Nuevas Generaciones del PP in which Page appears together with the leader of Bildu, Arnaldo Otegi, recounted some of the actions that both he and Page carried out in support of the Security Forces and Corps when the terrorist group still existed.

And after that, he specified: “When I was president, they called me from the Interior, they asked me not to say it. And I have not said it until now and many years have passed. They told me that the police had discovered by court order an ETA safe house and that there was documentation on two advisers to my government, that I should worry and take action. One of them, Emiliano García Page”.

“How can they have little dignity, it has to be due to ignorance, when ETA had him in the spotlight, in the zulo, to put that van to win four votes?”, he asked to the applause of those attending the rally.

It is the reason that I have led her to ask “please” the PP to remove that van. “He has 24 hours (alluding to the end of the electoral campaign) to order with dignity that those vans be withdrawn. If he does, I will thank him,” Bono proclaimed.

Previously, the former Castilian-Manchego president and former minister has also revealed that both he and Page visited the Herrera de la Mancha prison, in Alcázar de San Juan (Ciudad Real) for several years. “Yes, we went to jail, to be with the Civil Guard to be able to say to those assassins with whom we were when then, I remember, who fired rockets at us when we entered. It was December 24, Christmas Eve for many years, the president of Castilla-La Mancha and who is speaking to you”.

“That is why this van of ignominy fills me with indignation,” he insisted, thus asking the PP candidate to withdraw.
