Ábalos highlights the coincidence between the search in his house and Koldo's words: "I'm not going to pretend, it draws attention"

The former Minister of Transport and former Secretary of Organization of the PSOE, José Luis Ábalos, highlighted this Friday the "obvious temporal coincidence" between the last search made by the UCO at his home in Valencia this Thursday and the statements of his former advisor Koldo García about an "alleged attempt to bribe the PP."

The former Secretary of Organization of the PSOE thus refers to the operation carried out this Thursday by the UCO in which his house was searched, six people were arrested, including his partner - all of whom were released shortly after - and Adif Alta Velocity was required to provide information on alleged "rigged" contracts.

The former minister criticizes the new search of his house, of which he says he is unaware of the "necessity, opportunity or proportionality" but which he sees as a new "spectacle", a "public signal" and a "mockery".

He regrets the damage caused by this "unnecessary and disproportionate" intervention to his partner, Andrea de la Torre, especially when that address had already been previously searched without, according to him, any evidence being obtained to support the accusations.

Regarding the property acquired by his partner in 2024 and that some media relate to hypothetical bribes, Ábalos assures that it was acquired through two loans for which his partner could have provided all the documentation if he had been asked.

He complains that they are trying to present De la Torre publicly "as if he were part of a criminal organization," which he considers very serious.
