Esperanza Aguirre, former president of the Community of Madrid, appeared at the National Court on Thursday. She took her place near Ignacio González, her former right-hand man and successor, who is on trial. Aguirre gave a brief statement, distancing herself from irregularities attributed to González regarding alleged contract rigging for a golf course project at Canal de Isabel II. The project was launched by Aguirre but dismantled in 2021.
