Latorre expone la dimisión en la Agencia Tributaria: "Zapatero ocultó joyas y no se han personado"

In his monologue, the director of La Brújula discusses the change in leadership at the tax agency, as well as the summons of Judge Pedraz as a witness for the Deputy Attorney General, and the disputes between Vox and the People's Party (PP) over the "grandchildren" law. #psoe #pp #spain https://www.ondacero.es/programas/la-... If there are institutions where maintaining a scrupulous appearance of neutrality is essential, it is the State Holding Company (SEPI), the Attorney General's Office, and the Tax Agency. Otherwise, public trust is seriously undermined. SEPI intervenes in strategic markets, modifies the composition of company boards, approves public bailouts, plans multi-million euro investments… whoever controls it wields immense power. For example, if SEPI increases its stake in Telefónica, this could influence very powerful media outlets of which it is either the parent company or a shareholder. What other qualifications does Javier de Paz have to head a major television network other than being Zapatero's friend from the Socialist Youth? Who did Pedro Sánchez pressure when he wanted to change the editorial line of a newspaper that once caused him a lot of trouble, like El País? Telefónica. Since not just a lack of neutrality, but something much worse, has been exposed both at SEPI, with three presidents facing charges, and at the State Attorney General's Office, with its head convicted, it is no wonder that public trust is suffering. Judge Pedraz summons Álvaro García Ortiz's second-in-command as a witness The most visible and difficult-to-repair crack in public trust has appeared in the State Attorney General's Office, whose head has been convicted after it was proven that he had revealed confidential information about the partner of Pedro Sánchez's main adversary, Isabel Díaz Ayuso. It was demonstrated, because he himself admitted it, that he had dictated the press release that, in a criminal and reckless manner, included the secrets of a negotiation for a plea agreement. It was also proven that he failed to safeguard secrets, but there are still gaps in the case. For example, it's unknown whether he received an order, who gave it, or where the email Pilar Sánchez Acera possessed and forwarded to Juan Lobato came from… But the past comes back to haunt us, and we'll see if, thanks to Leire Díez, we don't find ourselves in a situation we couldn't reach because of Álvaro García Ortiz's phone being wiped, because Judge Pedraz has summoned his former second-in-command at the Prosecutor's Office, Diego Villafañe, to testify as a witness about the two meetings he held with the Ferraz cesspool and its most prominent figure, Leire Díez. The issue of the grandchildren law for the PP and Vox: The breakdown of public trust is real. No doubt about it. And that's what the People's Party is now seizing upon to... denounce? alert? warn? that in these circumstances, the possible incorporation into the census of 2.5 million voters who have applied for citizenship due to their kinship with Spaniards who left the country many years ago will be managed. The problem for the People's Party (PP) is that its complaint is so serious that vagueness is unacceptable, and it's difficult to know exactly what it's alleging. Well, yes, there has been talk of electoral engineering. In any case, the essential point is for them to explain what has changed that now makes granting citizenship to the grandchildren of exiles seem suspicious, dangerous, or risky. What the PP is saying is that this isn't what they advocated because it was processed through an additional provision, specifically the eighth law of democratic memory, which makes no mention of the reasons for the exile. It only states that those whose father or mother, grandfather or grandmother were originally Spanish may apply (ANNEX I), and that the margin for arbitrariness is very large because it would be necessary to regulate in which constituencies they register and how they prove it, because if everyone registers in Teruel… But, of course… these are hypotheticals that, when it comes to putting them into practice, end up with excuses like “we are not denouncing electoral fraud,” “we are in favor of granting nationality,” but… what comes after the “but” will have to be carefully crafted, because, as I said, the matter is so serious that it doesn't allow for vagueness. So far, we know that voter turnout among Spaniards abroad is very low, that not all of them vote for the PSOE (Spanish Socialist Workers' Party), that those who go to the consular offices want the coveted Spanish passport, that the PP (People's Party) had previously supported granting nationality to descendants, and that Vox was the party arguing that it makes no sense for those who don't live in Spain to vote in the general elections. But neithe...
