Overview
- García-Page, who spoke Thursday, denied illegal financing and urged the PSOE to act as a private accuser against anyone who abused the party.
- His remarks followed testimony this week in the Supreme Court masks case, where businesswoman Carmen Pano said she delivered two cash drops of €45,000 at the PSOE’s Ferraz headquarters in Madrid.
- Pano testified that businessman Víctor de Aldama gave her the money, and she said a man met her by the elevator at the party building.
- The trial centers on pandemic mask contracts and has former minister José Luis Ábalos, his aide Koldo García, and Aldama facing proceedings at the Supreme Court.
- He called for zero tolerance on corruption and said judges should do their work, warning that anyone who profited off the party’s name would cause double harm by committing a crime and staining the organization.
