“Koldo Plot”: Stink of advanced decomposition

Corruption in high places is a constant that is disgusting. Transitional measures are needed, to investigate and punish those responsible, from first to last. And let the popular mobilization break out, so that there is no impunity.

What brain moved the hand?

Koldo García was the right hand of the former Minister of Transportation José Luis Ábalos. Being your driver, advisor and protector, charged the 3% of mask contracts due to the pandemic, issue investigated in the so-called Delorme operation. In a short period, The different “services” provided increased his personal assets by one and a half million euros. In the face of such a corruption scandal, The PSOE gave Ábalos the thumbs down, a key character in its party structure since he held the position of organization secretary and presented the motion of censure with which Pedro Sánchez replaced Mariano Rajoy in the presidency based on corruption due to the Gürtel Case.. Ábalos refused to renounce his deputy status and joined the mixed group, challenging his former leader, being left out of the party and opening a new political quagmire. It's impossible to believe that Koldo's hand moved on its own..

Pandora's Box was opened again

The center of the scene is occupied by internal accusations between the PSOE, crusades between the PP and the PSOE, investigations by the EU justice and prosecutor's office, the violent debates in the Chambers and in the media, the complaints, threats and calls for resignations. The population is witnessing the umpteenth chapter of the endless record of corruption in power. Only the protagonists change, but they always belong to the PSOE and PP groups that are the pillars of the '78 regime.. Pandora's Box once again let the miseries of the powerful and privileged escape, among others, Businessmen are also involved in the criminal organization, Civil Guard commanders, ministerial officials and governments of the Canary Islands and the Balearic Islands, in which case the name Francina Armengol appears (PSOE) who at the time of the events was presiding over the Balearic Islands and is currently the president of the Congress of Deputies. The events that have already taken on public importance are very serious., but they will be “details” if the entire truth and the chain of responsibilities are known.. Among the weakness of the government, the crossfire over the amnesty law and social problems, Sánchez's future has darkened again.

With the corruptometer of cynicism

When you sniffed the bad smell of “State sewers” linked to the PP governments, particularly Mariano Rajoy, It seemed that the height of rot had been reached., but in the Spanish State, there is always one more degree of stench to measure. The live show that Sánchez and Feijoó are giving proves it; The PSOE and the PP defend themselves against the complaints by accusing the other… of stealing more. As if all this were not enough, The Prosecutor's Office reported two crimes of tax fraud and one of document falsification for more than 2 millions of euros in negotiations with masks, that the Tax Agency attributes to Alberto González Amador, Isabel Díaz Ayuso's partner (PP), President of the Community of Madrid. the partner of the president of the Community of Madrid. It is worth reflecting: Yes, there are corruption problems that are repeated over and over again.; with one or another government and protagonist, what are the underlying problems that persist and are not resolved??

The government tripod, regime and system

Bourgeois governments are made up of authorities that respond to the business interests that, beyond speeches, manage to sustain and reproduce the the state, based on the exploitation of a handful of privileged people over the vast majority of workers and the people. They have no scruples when using any tool, legal or in B, fair or unfair, the important thing is the profits, which include the “slices”. They don't care that the means to get rich is the drama of the pandemic, nor does poverty advance, inequality, precariousness or low salaries. This is only part of the corruption of capitalism, It is structural. One way or another, with greater or lesser intensity it involves the powerful who participate directly, they look the other way, partially investigate and/or facilitate impunity. And in the Spanish case there is a specific component: the '78 regime whose institutionality from Franco's regime has economic and political corruption as its "denomination of origin". For these reasons, solutions cannot only be specific, we must attack the root of the problems.

independent commission, mobilization and fight to turn everything around

It would be illusory to expect justice to investigate with transparency and depth the “Koldo Plot” and all cases of corruption.. The “research” Institutions have not yet even determined the “very difficult” riddle of who is the M. Rajoy who appeared listed in the “Bárcena papers” by Box B of the PP, The Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office has archived the investigation related to the brother of the Madrid president Isabel Díaz Ayuso, benefited from a contract 1,5 million euros to buy masks and the list of cases can be expanded ad nauseam, always in the surroundings of the PP and the PSOE, even with negotiations to acquire vaccines during the pandemic. Corruption appears again and again under the noses of Justice, when not in your hands. Radical changes are needed: the formation of independent investigative commissions, made up of honest personalities and activists who are not affected by power, by health workers, combative unions, Social Organizations, representatives of the affected sectors and associations of victims of Covid-19, among others. Popular Juries are needed, magistrates elected by popular vote, unprivileged, with revocable mandates and the salary of a qualified worker. The opposite of the current ones who are a privileged caste at the service of this or that government in power.. And it is necessary for popular mobilization to break out, to exert strong pressure, that there be a real investigation and the corrupt pay their bills. Everything in the way of a bottom exit, that can only come from the arm of a government of the workers and the people and a socialist system in which “those from below” are the ones who decide everything..
