The central government delegate and former “number two” of the regional training was arrested for asking bribes for contracts. The PP is suffering a defeat last Sunday.
The delegate of the Spanish central government in Valencia, Serafin Castilian, was dismissed after being arrested in an anti-corruption operation in which eight others were arrested people.The announcement of the dismissal of Castilian did at a press conference Vice President Soraya Saenz de Santamaria. The new case is a disgrace in the Popular Party (PP), whose leaders have staged numerous cases of corruption, especially in the regional governments. On Sunday, the PP suffered a debacle in Spanish municipal and regional elections.
After testifying before the judge in the case as accused, Castilian was released provisionally, although passport was withdrawn to prevent escape of the country. Castilian was visibly dazed as he left a court dependency hiding wives with a garment. The anti-corruption prosecutor investigates irregularities in public works contracts that the now former chief did when he was Minister of the Interior in the Valencian government (2007-2014). Valencia is in the hands of the PP for 20 years. Provisionally he suspended the conservative training to Castilian, who was between 2012 and 2014 “number two” of the PP in Valencia. That is, a man the core of political power in Valencia.
“The information published entail a significant public image deterioration of the Valencian PP given its severity, informative impact and impact on public opinion, especially in times like the present, “admitted the PP in a statement.
The suspension comes three weeks after the party section was also the president of the Delegation Valencia, Alfonso Rus, another scandal involving the payment of kickbacks. Police officers and court officials recorded since early morning house Castilian. Also they required information to the Ministry of Interior. In the regional government, the ministries equal to the ministries.
The investigation was initiated following a complaint by a contractor who warned of irregularities in the award and management of contracts awarded counseling by directing a company Castilian anti-fire services.
The arrest of the delegate of the central government and the Valencian PP figure comes at a very difficult time for the PP. The party registered a significant drop in votes in Valencia, traditional “popular” bastion, and the signs are that the regional government will lose at the hands of the left. The situation is repeated in the township (town hall) of the city of Valencia, where the PP, despite the first place, the local government would lose
