The secretary general of the Socialist Party of Navarra, Roberto Jimenez, announced this afternoon, having collected his executive urgently, which will require the creation of a commission of inquiry into an alleged corruption case would involve the Government of Yolanda Barcina. Socialists will " 15 days " to the commission to clarify the facts, and if not, ask early call for elections in Navarra. Ultimately if not thrives none of the above, the PSN would be willing to file a censure motion along with the other opposition parties (including BILDU) to try to overthrow the government Barcina. " If in 15 days do not resign, the Socialists cast," the general secretary said PSN.
Jimenez stressed, however, that the winning candidate of the motion - in the case of win - immediately convene elections to coincide with European May 25. That is, the new government resulting from this hypothetical censure motion would only be temporary: "A government audit," says the socialist. The Socialists want to avoid the message that accept form BILDU backed government.
The cause of the PSN decides to break the blockade in Navarre lived UPN politics since he would tarry minority has been who was the visible head of the Provincial Treasury until two weeks ago Idoia Nieves. On Tuesday went to Parliament to explain the reasons for his resignation and made ​​an account of what she described as " attempted interference " in the work of the Treasury by the minister and vice president, Lourdes Goicoechea. These intercessions referred alleged inspections to a company to which the minister had advised before entering politics or anger shown by the head of the department after an inspection of the University of Navarra. He added that last April the minister asked about withholding salaries and directors of Caja Navarra and external recruitment of this financial institution. Something has confirmed the Goicoechea own, but attributing it to the need to respond to parliamentary questions.
However, the chapter raised more controversy was the story of a meal between Nieves Goicoechea and when the latter was Minister of Rural Development and Industry. In it, Goicoechea would have asked the list of companies included in the inspection plan to see if there was any of the above she advised.
The Navarre government has closed ranks with its financial vice president and she strongly denies this chapter, although recognized, with shades, the rest of the issues reported by Idoia Nieves in Parliament. The executive Barcina announced that going to court to defend that particular accusation. The opposition, including PP, opted for a commission of inquiry, which urgent vote in plenary tomorrow.
To become president, the socialist Roberto Jimenez (if censure motion and he is the candidate) would need the votes of BILDU, Geroa Bai and IE, have already pointed out that the premise is anticipated elections. Even PP coordinator, Eloy Villanueva, told El Pais that " irregularities of Provincial Treasury confirmed, the PP would difficult to oppose censorship Barcina ".
