Dear friends:
On Thursday 5th May 2011, at 9 am begins in the hall of the Judicial Complex Salts on Calle San Martín s / n Santander, the second session of the macro-view that celebrates the Criminal Court No. 2 of Santander, in the case of works in the tunnel Mioño, against 9 defendants, including those the 6 components of the governing tripartite PP / PRC / IU Castro Urdiales who ruled between 2003 and 2007, the Secretary holder municipal D. César, the Financial impostor who replaced me and a businessman, the brother of one of the members of the government team.
They are accused of crimes of administrative malfeasance and influence peddling.
is the government team and the two officials that I made life impossible in the years 2003 to 2006 at the time I could stand to defend legality, as was my duty as a municipal auditor.
political of the 6 courts, 4 of them have continued to rule in the last 4 years thanks to its alliance with the former Mayor of Castro ruled PSOE Urdiales during the 12 years prior-and current-Muguruza Fernando mayor and current deputy mayor, José Miguel Rodríguez alias Kyk-intend to continue to do so after the next election to lead the two new candidate ACAI, despite the electoral setback they suffered in their respective formations and PP led PRC in 2007, so they had to agree with his "enemy" to continue lashing. A great example of what is English politics.
Despite the perception that English citizens have political corruption (almost 80% thought that corruption is widespread among politicians as CIS survey in 2009), it is estimated that in Spain there are 60,000 people engaged in politics, especially council members and only between 800 and 900 are charged with various crimes. A number lower than other neighboring countries, believes Professor Fernando Jimenez at the University of Murcia and a member of Transparency International.
there are some precedents in Cantabria isolated from politicians tried and convicted, as the historical and Hormaechea President of Cantabria and Joseph Ramón López Revuelta mayor of Laredo, now also charged in Castro Urdiales and again head of the PSOE list for mayor of Laredo.
Other precedents that were the case memory of the Caja Rural, the mayor of Arnuero José Luis Rey Villa convicted of graft and the mayor of Corvera de Toranzo, José Luis Quevedo who arrived in jail.
have recently been convicted Javier del Olmo former Minister of Industry and Jesus Angel Pacheco, Mayor Piélagos.
But in neither case has occurred discussed or tried a web of corruption, even in the case of the Caja Rural was clearly visible that the political involvement of all the ruling parties in Cantabria and embezzlement, but was covered . In the case of the municipality of Castro Urdiales plot has surfaced, as judged or judge politicians of all parties, officials and businessmen.
The relevance of the case of Castro Urdiales is to be judged one way of doing politics, using the power for private gain, which is the essence of corruption, regardless of personal gain occurred, which usually tend to be. But the main thing is the arbitrariness and despotism with which they have exercised the power to benefit himself and his friends.
Castro Urdiales is obviously not the only municipality which has governed well and I have personal records of many municipalities, but in which the political offense impunity is the norm.
offenders in Castro Urdiales had bad luck stumbled upon an honest auditor who believed in his profession and a compliant judge of his own, unlike all its predecessors in Castro Urdiales and most judges and the Prosecutor of Cantabria still looking the other side of where the corruption. This is the fundamental difference with other corruption cases, the two lone runners who ran with it.
So celebrate the event, bearing in mind that this is the first of many lawsuits to come against the mafia castreña of which are mentioned this and the next for the month of June in the case known as Trapur rats and contemplate the deplorable spectacle of a despotic arbitrary and dishonest in how they handled a municipality in Spain, the political corruption in its purest form.
The morning session I think it will last and will be dedicated to the statements of witnesses and experts. I attend as a witness, without a lawyer, and I left my personación as charges to meet without public support and want to start my new phase of life without easements with this painful past. So tomorrow I will be to 9 lawyers, the flower of the profession in Cantabria, with extensive connections in high society Cantabrian as is usual in the provinces.
utter knowing nothing of the prosecutor handling the case and has not contacted me, which is itself an element of inequality, since the 9 defendants have jointly prepared the session abnogados and their witnesses. Nothing to do with American movies and what one expects from the task of prosecuting the English prosecutor.
A hug and see you tomorrow at which you can attend, not to feel alone and to rejoice in a democratic show unusual in Spain.
Fernando Urruticoechea
