The PP believes that Aldama's confession confirms that the Armengol government enriched the Ábalos and Koldo network.
Aldama has said that the profits obtained from the sale of masks were divided among the members of the scheme, and that some of the funds came from contracts with the Armengol government.
PalmThe People's Party (PP) believes that Víctor de Aldama's court confession confirms that the government led by Francina Armengol allowed public funds belonging to the citizens of the Balearic Islands to enrich the network linked to José Luis Ábalos and Koldo García through the purchase of face masks during the pandemic. According to the party's general coordinator and PP spokesperson in the Balearic Parliament, Sebastià Sagreras, Aldama admitted that the profits obtained from the sale of face masks were distributed among the members of the network, and that some of the funds came from contracts with the Armengol government. "Today we know that the money of the citizens of the Balearic Islands ended up being turned into commissions and kickbacks for Ábalos and Koldo," he emphasized. Sagreras denounced that "none of this would have been possible without the collaboration of the Armengol government," which he accused of "opening the door wide for them."
In this regard, he recalled that the then Minister of Health, Patricia Gómez, received the members of the scheme "with institutional honors," and that the former Minister of Finance, Rosario Sánchez, was the one who delivered European funds to them, which, in his opinion, demonstrates that "it was a chain of political decisions." "As the legal proceedings progress, the plundering involved in the purchase of counterfeit masks for the Balearic Islands is being confirmed," the Popular Party spokesperson stated.
