“He awarded contracts to companies linked to the plot of Santos Cerdán and is being investigated by Antifraude, this is the letter of presentation of the new Secretary of Organization of Sánchez, the Valencian Rebeca Torró. Structural renewal or does the path of Ábalos and Cerdán continue?” The Valencian PP loaded with this message on its social networks against which it was the consellera of Ximo Puig in the last stage of the Botanist Government, Rebeca Torró, who will be officially named this Saturday number 3 of the PSOE.
The letter refers to various information about Torró's hiring in his time as a Minister of Territorial Policy, Public Works and Mobility with Levantine, Engineering and Construction SL, Commercial of José Ruz, one of those investigated in the 'Koldo Case' that declared this Friday in the Supreme Court and denied the payment of bites. In total, the contracts amounted to 8.3 million euros, although the most important, of 5.2 million, was awarded days before it took possession in office.
However, the Valencian government chaired by Carlos Mazón has awarded at least 38.4 million euros in its almost two years of management corresponding to two contracts signed by which he was a Minister of Environment, Water, Infrastructure and Territory, Salome Pradas, who subsequently assumed the portfolio of justice and internal and was ceased after the tragedy of the DANA as responsible for the emergency.
The first contract was signed on November 3, 2023, for an amount of 831,645.77 euros, for the replacement of the Bri Brill protection wall in Enguera at the height of San Rafael Street. While it is true that the processing began with the botanist, it was Pradas that signed the award.
Subsequently, on November 22, Pradas awarded a contract of 37.6 million euros ´ (VAT included) to the Temporary Union of Companies (UTE) formed by Coalvi SA and Levantina, Engineering and Construction SL for the duplication of the road and electrification between the Benidorm Intermodal Apeadero and that of the Vila Joiosa Vila Hospital of the Tram de Alicante. The action was taken to tender on July 7, 2023, before the inauguration of Mazón, as president, but the entire procedure was already managed with the new Consell, from the presentation of offers (until September 2023), the opening of plans and the award.
On January 20, Mazón himself made a visit of works with the new Minister of the Branch, Vicente Martínez Mus, which spread on his social networks with a photo included.
But it is also that both the governments of the PP prior to the Botanical also had a contractual relationship with the investigated company. Thus, from the area of Environment, Water, Infrastructure and Territory then directed by the Minister Mario Flores, five contracts were formalized between 2010 and 2011 for an amount of 222,888 euros; 131,581 euros; 177,245 euros; 75,940 euros; and 520,986 euros; In total, 1.1 million euros.
The presidency area consists of eight minor contracts on the occasion of two orders for the City of Arts and Sciences. One for a total amount of 28,130 euros, for lighting of the Santiago Grisolía room (September 2008). And two worth 33,640 euros, for the scenography of the preinautuation of the agora and the presentation of the tennis Open (October 2009).
But it is also that Levantina, Engineering and Construction SL appears a report of the Central Operational Unit (UCO) of the Civil Guard related to the 'Taula Case' for allegedly borded with up to 29,000 euros to the Olimpic de Xàtiva de Alfonso Rus.
In this regard, the PSPV spokesman in Las Corts, José Muñoz, criticized that “in the PP they are so desperate that they make a fool of them” by being recorded that “Mazón awarded in December 2023 a contract of 37 million euros to this company to modernize the Tram in Benidorm”, in addition to the other contract of 800,000 euros: “And if we continue to seek in the newspaper… Get to work and stop wasting time spreading bulos, which there is work, ”he published on his social networks in response to the first message of the popular.
