The PP demands "urgent" explanations from Marc Pons after he was included by the UCO in the hydrocarbons case

PalmThe general coordinator of the Balearic PP and party spokesperson in Parliament, Sebastià Sagreras, demanded "clear and urgent explanations" from Marc Pons this Friday after it was revealed that the UCO (Central Operative Unit of the Civil Guard) includes the former Socialist councilor and current deputy spokesperson for the PSOE (Spanish Socialist Workers' Party) in the Balearic Parliament in its reports on the hydrocarbons case. "The Koldo scandal has once again struck the PSOE in the Balearic Islands," Sagreras stated, after it was confirmed that Pons acted as an alleged intermediary between Koldo García and the then Vice President and current European Commissioner Teresa Ribera, to promote a license linked to Víctor de Aldama, one of the key figures. "Pons cannot hide for another minute. He has an obligation to explain what he was doing, who he was meeting with, and why he was involved in such sensitive cases as those related to hydrocarbons. The citizens deserve to know the truth," Sagreras added.

The Popular Party representative has demanded that Pons detail "exactly what contacts he had with Koldo García, how many times he received similar requests, and what specific actions he took for companies linked to Aldama." Furthermore, he emphasized that the Civil Guard reports already included messages and arranged meetings between Pons and Koldo, with expressions "as revealing" as "you scare me," sent by the former Socialist councilor himself. Sagreras stressed that the new UCO documentation "confirms a worrying pattern: Socialist leaders in the Balearic Islands involved in key decisions, administrative favors, and opaque contacts that are now being analyzed by the courts."

"The captain of the pirate ship is on the ropes."

Meanwhile, the First Vice President and spokesperson for the Catalan Government, Antoni Costa, condemned the "deplorable situation" of the corruption case affecting the Spanish government. "The UCO (Central Operative Unit of the Civil Guard) has entered the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry for Ecological Transition, the postal service, and countless other public companies, carrying out searches and arrests, and people are already in prison," he lamented. "We wonder how long the partners keeping this pirate ship afloat will last," he said. "The captain of this pirate ship is on the ropes." In this regard, he demanded that the Spanish Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, "call elections and speak to the Spanish people."
