The vice-secretary for Organization, Training and Electoral of the Andalusian PP, Toni Martín, stated today that the president of the Board, Susana Díaz, "is paying political favors from the past to her godparents", the former presidents of the Board Manuel Chaves and José Antonio Griñán, in relation to the position of the Andalusian government in the ERE case. The trial of the so-called 'political piece' of the case, which will sit Chaves and Griñán on the bench along with another twenty former senior officials of socialist governments begins this Wednesday at the Provincial Court of Seville.
"No one can understand that in a case of corruption that affects 741 million of public money from the Junta de Andalucía, it is precisely the Junta, the Díaz government that should represent the interests of the Andalusians, the one that decides not to accuse in this case ”, Martín said in relation to the fact that the Board does not exercise the accusation in this piece.
In addition, he recalled that it was the Andalusian government of Susana Díaz that requested the archive of the piece more than a year ago, understanding that there was no political plot; "The same government that voted in the last debate on the State of the Community against a PP proposal to recover the money defrauded," she said.

Martín stressed that the trial that begins on Wednesday with the previous issues "puts 20 years of Andalusian socialism on the bench accused of embezzlement, prevarication, and of using the money of all Andalusians in which they It is undoubtedly the biggest case of corruption in the democratic history of Spain”
“We are talking about a political system based on cronyism, on the use of all the money of the Andalusians for the benefit of the electoral interests of the PSOE, weaving a client network of relatives, 'friends' and grateful stomachs of Andalusian socialism with the aim of perpetuating itself. in power in our autonomous community "he added.
The deputy secretary of the Andalusian PP criticized the PSOE-A for "even coming to believe that this compadreo is normal and natural, as we have seen this week with the shameful spectacle of the president of Parliament, who tries to justify as normal the fact that awarding a Parliament contract to his nephew by hand, paying with the money of all the Andalusians”
Toni Martín appreciated the work of the Popular Party to clarify the ERE case, since, he stressed, "from the very beginning, more than a decade ago, we have worked at a political level in Parliament, and in the judicial field, appearing as a private prosecution for that they could get to the bottom of this matter, we could find out who was responsible, they would pay for it and the money would be returned to the Andalusians”.
