The Government denies that Albares and Bolaños met with Puigdemont and calls it a hoax: "Absolutely false"

MADRID, 5 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Government has flatly denied the accusations made by the general secretary of the PP, Cuca Gamarra, who this Thursday revealed that the Minister of the Presidency, Relations with the Cortes and Democratic Memory, Félix Bolaños and the head of Foreign Affairs, José Manuel Albares, were They met with former Catalan president Carles Puigdemont at the Colombian embassy in Belgium to offer him amnesty. "It is absolutely false," say government sources.

Thus, Bolaños himself has denied this statement in a message in X, collected by Europa Press, in which he has described it as a "hoax." Furthermore, the minister has mocked the accusation launched by the PP, by attaching a montage in which he is seen next to a supposed Colombian embassy with Gamarra.

"And here is the definitive proof of the hoax spread today by the Popular Party," wrote Bolaños. In addition, sources from his department emphasize that it is "totally a lie." Likewise, Foreign sources also reject that Minister Albares held any meeting with Puigdemont. "Absolutely false," they say.

In a press conference in Congress, Gamarra alluded to "information that has been published that refers to the fact that two acting ministers of the Government of Spain" met "at the Colombian embassy in Brussels with a fugitive from Justice."

The 'popular' leader indicated that this information requires explanations from both ministers, who minutes later have forcefully denied it. Gamarra pointed out that it seems that the members of the Executive went to Belgium to offer him amnesty in exchange for the Presidency of the Government instead of demanding that he return to Spain.
