Aguirre reivindica la idea de las “canchas” de golf del Canal, pero se desvincula de las irregularidades en el juicio a su sucesor
La expresidenta madrileña asegura que copió el proyecto de un viaje a Tokio y afirma que nunca supo nada del desarrollo de las obras: “Yo ya dimití”, añade la política
On Thursday, former Community of Madrid President Esperanza Aguirre took her seat in the National Court's courtroom, walking past judges who were trying Ignacio González, her former right-hand man and successor. As she placed her bag on the defense table, just five seats away from her former subordinate, González avoided her gaze and focused on a blank notebook.
Their distance mirrored the divide Aguirre would attempt to bridge in her short statement to distance herself from the alleged irregularities surrounding the Canal de Isabel II golf course contract, a project championed by her party and abandoned in 2021 after fierce neighborhood opposition. Aguirre insisted on claiming ownership of the golf course idea, yet she professed ignorance of the construction's progress.
