Llop has no opinion on a pardon for a PSOE militant in Vigo and reproaches the PP for the one granted to Arias-Salgado's brother

MADRID, 8 Mar. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Minister of Justice, Pilar Llop, has reproached the PP for the pardon that it granted in 1998 to the brother of the then Minister of Public Works, Rafael Arias-Salgado, when asked if the Government will grant this right of grace to a militant Socialist in Vigo "condemned for hiring the sister-in-law" of the president of the Pontevedra Provincial Council, Carmela Silva, in a Vigo City Council concession company.

During the control session with the Government in Congress, the PP deputy Diego Gago has asked Minister Llop to clarify whether the Government intends to grant pardon to this socialist affiliate in Vigo Javier Gutiérrez Orúe.

"I find it amazing that a PP government would grant a pardon to a direct relative of a member of that council of ministers who granted that pardon," Llop replied to the 'popular' deputy when asked about that socialist affiliate in Vigo.

Immediately afterwards, Llop has defended, without entering into an opinion on the specific case of this possible pardon, that this measure of grace is always processed in the same way, although he has charged against the PP again because, in his opinion, it had no clear criteria when it comes to pardoning certain people.

As the 'popular' deputy has said, the plot in which this socialist militant from Vigo is involved involves "one of the biggest cases of corruption in Galicia": "As if that were not enough with the case of corruption that affects the Socialist Group with Tito Berni".

In this context, the PP deputy explained that "the sister-in-law of the president of the Galician socialists was plugged into a Vigo city council concessionaire for which she received 180,000 euros without doing any work."

"The official in charge of plugging it in, who has been sentenced to five years in prison, requested pardon arguing that he was an exemplary, amazing socialist militant. It is an unprecedented corruption scandal," Gago denounced.
