The Koldo case investigates alleged irregularities in public contracts during the pandemic. The UCO has made new arrests and searches related to this plot.
The arrest of Cristian Corvillo, Pedro Sánchez's former driver, in a new piece of the Koldo case has provoked a practically immediate reaction from the Popular Party. Its general secretary, Miguel Tellado, has pointed directly to the President of the Government, the "only member of the Peugeot gang" who is not "convicted or charged." However, he believes that it is only a "matter of time" for Sánchez to be held accountable in court and points out that "only he remains" from the car with which he toured Spain during the 2017 socialist primaries together with José Luis Ábalos, the former advisor Koldo García and the former Secretary of Organization of the socialists Santos Cerdán. "They arrived in the car that Cristian Corvillo was driving and ended up in a Civil Guard van," Tellado insisted.
With the six new arrests that occurred this Thursday early in the morning by the UCO, the number two of the PP points to the "final plot of the decadent sanchismo" that has had two clear examples of what "this black stage" has entailed: "The most absolute inefficiency and massive corruption." In addition to the arrests, the Central Operational Unit (UCO) of the Civil Guard has entered to search the home of former minister José Luis Ábalos in Valencia and has also appeared at Adif offices to request documentation from the company. Tellado recalled that these proceedings take place a week after the Urda railway tragedy and the same week that the former minister Óscar Puente has resigned due to his "negligent management": "Corruption costs lives."

The PP promises to mobilize more than 300,000 million in 15 years for infrastructure, prioritizing railway maintenance and safety after the Urda accident and the resignation of Óscar Puente. The plan will be the axis of the General State Budgets.
