Mariano Rajoy finally succeeded yesterday that Rodrigo Rato renounce his membership of the PP. After several days of crossed messages and less public, former vice president and former director of the IMF, one of the most emblematic figures in the history of the party agreed to accept his voluntary resignation, as you were claiming from Genoa. Shortly after nine o’clock at night, the PP made public in a statement that Rato had sent a letter to the secretary general of the party Maria Dolores de Cospedal, requesting the “temporary suspension of membership until all the facts remain enlightened. ” The facts, as known, are the scandal of opaque cards Caja Madrid, which is being investigated by the National Court. Last Thursday declared as a defendant.
A point of being quoted this week by the Committee on Rights and Guarantees of PP, prior to his expulsion from the party step, this timely statement prevents the continuation of the proceedings against him. Rodrigo Rato understands that “right now, in the interest of the Popular Party” should make the decision to apply for temporary suspension of membership until the facts remain clear . Although his request for voluntary cancellation of PP paralyzes the internal file open, the former leader claims to be “at the disposal of the party for all the explanations require me to the relevant bodies.”
In the morning, the case of opaque cards had already been one of the topics dealt with more extensively in the Executive Committee of the PP, thus Cospedal as Rajoy. Cospedal said at a press conference that it is a scandal that “we are alarmed and outraged us.” One case, he added, to learn “what can never be repeated again.”
However, in its written version Rato reiterates that since the judge offered last week. Holds your firm conviction “of having always acted within the law, believing that these issued, known and controlled by the entity, cards were for personal use and were part of my salary. As such, they were declared and accounted for. “
In his car last Friday, after his statement, the judge of the Audiencia Nacional, Fernando Andreu said that as president of the accused Bankia authorized and consented use of cards that generated an expense that was “posted covertly to avoid scrutiny of auditors and supervisory bodies.” The judge has called him a deposit of 3 million in liability.
And yet, the intention de Rato, at least according to the statements that he made last week, was brought before the PP to offer their version.
In fact this is what along yesterday thought it would happen. The PP finalizing the imminent release of Rodrigo Rato organization, either through a precautionary suspension of membership or expulsion proceedings . As the prerequisite of his appearance “in the coming days” in Genoa, with the instructor appointed by the Committee of Rights should occur. With its unexpected step back, the PP save his reception in the popular venue.
Throughout the afternoon Rato bowed to pressure and could announce the party requesting temporary low. According to Europa Press, hours before Cospedal and Rajoy had lunch together at a restaurant in nearby Genoa Street. According to the secretary general revealed itself she has not had any contact with Rodrigo Rato during this time. In any case, whoever was the speaker who has spoken to Rato just might have done on behalf of the president. Although their relationship deteriorated for their departure from the presidency of Bankia, both enough to be playing cat and mouse are known. The PP had spent many days trying to take this decision . His main concern was to keep her figure PP brand. From the outset it was decided that if she did not leave voluntarily, there would be another solution to expel. Rajoy has made him leave.
