Antoni Costa: "If Idoia Ribas has evidence that Vox is embezzling public funds, she should take them to court."

PalmThe spokesperson for the Catalan government, Antoni Costa, stated this Friday that he has no information regarding the alleged misappropriation of public funds by Vox, as reported by the former parliamentary spokesperson for the far-right party, Idoia Ribas, but stressed that if it can be proven, it must be brought to court.

"If anyone has evidence (...) it is a given that the Public Prosecutor's Office or the corresponding judicial entities will be contacted (...) so that action can be taken accordingly," Costa stated during the press conference following the Government Council.

Ribas, an unaffiliated deputy expelled from Vox, and Agustín Buades, another parliamentarian from Santiago Abascal's party, pointed out this Thursday that half of the allocation their former parliamentary group receives for its ordinary expenses is transferred to the party's state coffers, which diverts them to the Disenso Foundation, the '.

The PP executive, which needs Vox's votes because it does not have an absolute majority, will maintain its "roadmap" and strictly continue with the agreements reached with the far-right party, but "nothing further."

Regarding Ribas's account of the failed attempt by Vox's state leadership to pressure the Prime Minister, Marga Prohens, to call early elections, the spokesperson has assured that he is not aware of these maneuvers. "What everyone knows is that the one who calls the elections is the president of the Balearic Islands," he said.
