The Balearic Minister of Health, Manuela García, stated this Tuesday in Parliament that between 60% and 96% of IB-Salut's contracts exceeding €100,000 during the pandemic violated the Public Procurement Law. García presented the preliminary results of the audit commissioned by the Government in response to a question from Vox deputy Patricia de las Heras. The Minister explained that an "independent company" reviewed 60 contracts awarded through emergency procedures during the previous legislative term's COVID-19 response and asserted that the report justifying the contracts was prepared after the work had already been carried out in "most cases." She also explained that the contracts were not formalized in writing, and there was no certificate of conformity or receipt of materials. Furthermore, "a significant portion of the contracts" were not uploaded to the Government's profile on the public procurement portal. On the other hand, García referred to the information that has appeared in the media regarding alleged irregularities in the contracting of companies like Soluciones de Gestión, at the epicenter of the Koldo case. For this reason, García assured that the Government will demand every "last cent" that may have been awarded in these contracts with alleged "links to corrupt schemes," as in the case of the fraudulent face masks. The councilor pointed out that the Executive is not afraid of audits and investigations, but rather promotes them. For his part, De las Heras criticized the Government for failing to meet the six-month deadline it set to clarify the situation and demanded results to find out what happened with the Balearic branch of the Koldo case.

The Balearic Islands Citizens' Platform for Public Healthcare warned this Thursday that the situation of public healthcare is "critical" and that the system "risks resembling the United States model," where "if you have money, you get treatment, and if not, you don't." "The long-term objective seems to be to turn Spain into the United States. We could end up like them. That is, those who have money can receive care, and those who don't, can't," denounced Antonio Picazo, a member of the Federation of Neighborhood Associations of Palma, who added that the platform will fight to ensure that public healthcare "is not reduced to mere band-aids."

The former director of IB-Salut during Francina Armengol's presidency, Juli Fuster, stated this Tuesday in the Senate that the offer of masks from Soluciones de Gestión y Apoyo a Empresas (Management and Support Solutions for Companies) – a company linked to the Koldo plot – came from a ministry, although he clarified that he does not know if it was the Ministry of Industry. "Who would have doubted the Spanish government?" asked the former head of IB-Salut during his appearance before the Senate's commission of inquiry into the ramifications of the Koldo case.
