Overview
- On June 5 the Sindicatura de Comptes sent a two-page letter to Parliament president Josep Rull and commission head Jordi Riba protesting interventions during the May 28 session on its audit of the DGAIA.
- The audit body specifically objected to former secretary general Oriol Amorós’s suggestion that a syndic’s appointment by an independentist party cast doubt on the institution’s neutrality.
- In its formal protest the Sindicatura defended its independence and rigorous audit procedures, noting that its reports rely solely on objective, document-based evidence.
- Members of the Sindicatura de Comptes, appointed by a qualified three-fifths parliamentary majority, emphasized they represent no political faction and will not be used for external agendas.
- The May 28 debate also examined alleged irregularities in DGAIA contracts from 2016 to 2020, leading the audit office to demand safeguards for its credibility in future parliamentary sessions.
