The deputy of Compromís in the Congress and ascribed to Sumar, Alberto Ibáñez, denounced this Tuesday that the investigation into the leadership of the neo-Nazi formation Núcleo Nacional, allegedly linked to the preparation of an “armed uprising” and a “coup d'état”, remains in a court in Gijón (Asturias) and has not yet been taken over by the Audiencia Nacional.
Ibáñez made these statements at a press conference in the Lower House, a day after the judge instructing the case released, albeit with a ban on leaving the country, the fifteen people from this group arrested last Friday.
Training, weapons and international connections, according to the summary
The Compromís deputy pointed out that, according to what has been published from the summary, the leadership of Núcleo Nacional was dedicated to recruiting young people, including minors, and training them to carry out violent actions. He also stated that the detainees would have received military training in Ukraine and that they maintained weapons and connections, also financial, “with part of international terrorism”.
In this context, Alberto Ibáñez insisted that it is incomprehensible that, in his opinion, this matter has not been placed at the center of public debate. “Does anyone understand that a coup d'état has been stopped in our country and this is not the central issue?”, he asked the media.
Request for condemnation of PP and Vox
Ibáñez urged the leader of the Popular Party (PP), Alberto Núñez Feijóo, and that of Vox, Santiago Abascal, to “condemn” these events. According to his intervention, the seriousness of the accusations demands a clear response from both formations.
The deputy also criticized those who, in his opinion, should be investigating the case, referring to the Audiencia Nacional. “Perhaps nothing is happening because those who should be investigating are packing their bags to go to Marbella with expenses paid to collect a thousand euros for speaking 15 minutes and sharing the arguments of 'Génova' and Abascal”, he said.
Reference to a paid trip and the election campaign
Ibáñez was thus alluding to information published by 'La Séptima', according to which a digital newspaper had paid for the trip, the hotel and the aforementioned amount for magistrates, prosecutors and members of the General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ) to give conferences, including judges with pending or resolved cases linked to the media.
In the final part of his speech, the deputy of Compromís asked to take advantage of the election campaign to make it clear that “democracy must be protected” and that, to do so, “it is urgent to democratize the State”, including “the robes and the media”, with the aim of “preventing interference” and being able to hold “free elections”.
