Overview

• The Supreme Court has identified Isabel Pardo de Vera, former ADIF president, as directly responsible and at risk of indictment for the hiring of Jesica Rodríguez through an allegedly irregular process.
• The Partido Popular (PP) has re-summoned Pardo de Vera to testify before the Senate's 'Koldo' commission to clarify her role in Rodríguez’s hiring and assignment to ADIF’s presidency.
• Tragsatec confirmed to the Supreme Court that Rodríguez was assigned to ADIF’s presidency, raising questions about procedural anomalies in her recruitment.
• Pardo de Vera had previously testified before the commission nearly a year ago regarding contracting practices; her reappearance highlights unresolved concerns.
• The commission has also postponed former minister Teresa Ribera’s April 28 testimony due to scheduling conflicts, while continuing with other witnesses.
