Presentato da Jorge Buxadé Villalba, Hermann Tertsch

Aggiunto: 120 a. Is concerned about the judicial case initiated in 2022 in Spain regarding alleged bribes for the purchase of health material for the fight against COVID-19 using Union funds, which resulted in the detention of an advisor to the former Minister of Transport; is deeply concerned about the discovery that came to light during that case, that the current Minister of Territorial Policy and the current President of the Congress of Deputies of Spain entered into contracts with the company of the detainee using ERDF funds and that the latter did not make a complaint when she discovered that the material purchased did not correspond with the product ordered, therefore constituting a fraud, and only made a complaint when she had to leave office as a result of losing her seat in the elections; takes note of the response of the European Commission regarding a request to investigate the evidence through the European Public Prosecutor's Office and requests a full investigation of all the contracts and payments related to this case made by private companies and the public administration of Spain, to discover any possible connections of the Spanish Government and the Spanish Socialist Party to this scheme; requests that once the case is resolved, that all the percentages and amounts of funds embezzled be published and that it is ensured that all the defrauded money be returned by the persons implicated; denounces that similar cases are being discovered regarding purchases made from Chinese companies and requests that all suspicious contracts made during the COVID 19 pandemic be investigated;
