Rajoy admits that the case of Rato involves the government and the PP

USPA NEWS - A little over a month for local and regional elections that will be held in Spain on May 24, for the first time the Spanish Government is concerned about the effect of scandals about his eventual victory.

Until now, the Spanish government and the conservative Popular Party (PP in its acronym in Spanish) is showing sure to win the May 24, thanks to the economic recovery. Even seemed immune to scandal of alleged illegal party funding, which is still under judicial investigation. But the arrest and subsequent release of former IMF director, former economy minister and former financial vice-president of the Spanish Government, Rodrigo Rato, has marked a turning point. Now, conservatives, who declare disappointed with Rato, admit that the scandals can pass bill and fear that influence the electoral result.

The president of the Spanish Government, Mariano Rajoy, admitted this weekend that the 'case Rato' affects the PP and declared broken the conservative electoral program for local and regional May 24 by accepting that can harm his party. More explicit was the Conservative candidate for mayor of Madrid, the former Minister of Culture and former Senate President Esperanza Aguirre, who admitted that winning elections "has become very difficult, more for our own mistakes that our proposals adversaries." Aguirre urged to work more impetus to recover the confidence of citizens.

Meanwhile, the star of the latest scandal is defended. Rato ensures that your estate is "well below" the nearly 27 million ascribed Tax Ministery, denies emptying their societies and said that none of them are located in tax havens "or outside the EU." Also rejects the accusation of fraud and denies having concealed the treasury 1.42 million in 2012 and 2013. The case was taken on Monday by the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor.
