In the Popular Party and in Vox they have read the news that ABC is on the front page this Monday about the 'plug' of the husband of the former socialist minister Carmen Montón at the Spanish embassy in the United States, and have expressed their concern about the damage that does once again to the institutions of the State. Therefore, demand maximum transparency to know all the details of the opaque hiring processes, which have benefited at least 5 people.
The Deputy Secretary of Economy of the PP, Juan Bravo, met this month, together with the Secretary General, Cuca Gamarra, with the party's Treasury advisers and the economic team of this political formation. Bravo has appeared before the media to defend his tax proposal and warn that the new 'tax on the rich' announced by the Government represents an invasion of powers of the autonomous communities.
In the press street, Bravo has referred to the information from ABC about the opaque contract of the husband of former Minister Montón at the Embassy in the United States. The director of the PP has framed him in the process of damaging institutions by the Government, something that has already affected the CIS, the CNI, RTVE or the INE, as he has denounced.
“And now the embassies too, which are our public image abroad”, he pointed out. For this reason, he has commented on his concern about this misuse of institutions, "which is not the first, and that is the problem."
“Therefore, we see it with the corresponding concern”, announced the deputy secretary of the PP, who has required maximum transparency to know how the entire process that affects this person and at least four others in the same embassy has been. "It is not the best image that we are giving abroad," he pointed out.
“very serious”
Also at the national headquarters of Vox, on Calle de Bambú in Madrid, they echoed the news from ABC, after the weekly meeting of its Political Action Committee. Asked at a press conference, the party's political vice president, Jorge Buxadé, described the events denounced for this newspaper as "very serious" and demanded that it be ended "with the finger and the plug."
"We must re-value the figure of the public employee who acquires his position by merit and ability", said the MEP, who is a State lawyer by profession. “We see it [this type of appointment] from the Presidency cabinet to all administrations”, he has deepened, and has denounced the existence of “hundreds of interims” who wait for the call for new positions in the public administration. “Absolute rejection. What should be done, if this news is confirmed, is to dismiss the husband and the minister », he has settled.
