Mallorca: Gamarra dodges Koldo García meeting questions
In Palma, Mallorca, on Wednesday, Cuca Gamarra faces questions about a meeting between a People’s Party (PP) lawyer and former ministerial adviser Koldo García: she leaves without answering the final question. Reporters also ask whether the party made García any offer. Gamarra is speaking before an event in the city.
Instead, the PP’s deputy secretary for institutional regeneration points to a court case. “At the trial, 30 years in prison were sought. The sentence is 19 years,” she says. García still faces other cases, she adds.
Gamarra had acknowledged the meeting a few days earlier, but denied that García was offered money. When reporters ask again whether it took place, she steps away from the microphones to make way for Marga Prohens, president of the Balearic government. “Thank you,” is all she says.
Two days earlier, Spanish prime minister Pedro Sánchez said there was evidence to justify a judicial investigation into the meeting. He again called on PP leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo to explain it.
