The second ordinary plenary session of the legislature has served to confirm the omen that anticipated an angry and shocking stage in O Hrreo, with a PPdeG protected by his comfortable majority and a BNG largest with 25 deputies. The nationalist initiative failed so that a auditoraexterna supervise the emergency contracts of the Xunta during the pandemic, the nationalists have brought to the Chamber another proposal to create a investigation commissionon that same topic, taking into account the shadow areas detected by the report of the Consello de Contas, the supervisory body of the autonomous public sector. As expected, it has been rejected: 38 votes against the PP and 33 in favor of the opposition deputies.

Iago Tabares, from the BNG, recalled in his speech that the emergency contracts, necessary after the outbreak of the covid, do not constitute an open door to arbitrariness and waste. And they must be subject to controls. Processes, for the nationalist, over which the shadow of suspicion hangs. And in which there are well-founded indications of irregularities with the reports of the Board of Accounts en la mano. There are debts of who was hired and what was hired; debts of legality on the management of public resources, and not that we say so, insisted Tabares, who believes that the investigation commission that is demanded is not against the PP, but in favor of transparency.

The intervention of the nationalist deputy has triggered a forceful response from the parliamentary spokesperson of the popular group, Alberto Pazos, which has raised the tone and accused the Bloc of being delusional, because, it alleges, there is not a single reason to question the legality of these contracts. The representative of the PP has regretted that all limits are crossed by uttering insidiousness and has considered that this request for a commission by the BNG is a display of political cynicism with the sole objective of muddying and attacking the adversary. Pazos understands that the Bloc has sufficient parliamentary support to activate the commission, but he has preferred not to waste that bullet; With one third of the deputies, a commission can be activated per legislature. And he recalled that the Accounts Council itself has a protocol with the Prosecutor’s Office to activate an investigation if there are sufficient indications.

Patricia Iglesiasformer lawyer of the Consello de Contas and now deputy of the PSdeGrecalled during his speech that during the pandemic there were commission agents and opportunists throughout Spain and that it is required by ethics and public responsibility to shed light on any doubt that may arise in the management of public resources. This is not about corruption. , it is about integrity, about integrity, and during the pandemic contracts were validated in accordance with the requirements that exist in the regulations, the deputy said.
