Overview

  • The Senate commission meets Monday to vote on an expanded roster that the PP can approve with its absolute majority.
  • The list includes former prime minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero and Plus Ultra figures Julio Martínez Sola, CEO Roberto Roselli, and businessman Julio Martínez Martínez.
  • Socialist official Susana Sumelzo and Forestalia president Fernando Samper are also slated to appear as inquiries extend to the renewables group.
  • Martínez Martínez was recently detained by the UDEF in the Plus Ultra investigation, and the Forestalia case has involved UCO searches under a secrecy order.
  • The PP is demanding the full SEPI rescue file for Plus Ultra and all permit records for Forestalia since 2018, while the Supreme Court blocked José Luis Ábalos’s Jan. 8 testimony due to his pretrial detention.
