"I'm going to answer what I'm asked." Mariano Rajoy will be interrogated next Monday at Congress in the Commission that investigates espionage to Luis Bárcenas with the will to answer all the questions that the deputies pose, however, the former president of the government has already advanced the one that may be the General Tonic of the appearance: "Never" he knew the existence of Kitchen operation and did not know about Villarejo's existence.
In an interview on more than one of Zero wave, Rajoy has denied any knowledge about the alleged orchestrated operation from the Ministry of the Interior, which then directed Minister Jorge Fernández Díaz, to spy on Bárcenas and neutralize the information he could have about a supposed Box B of PP and other corrupt activities.
Rajoy has completely disengaged from Kitchen. "I never knew that this operation existed," he said. In the same way that he has manifested "serious doubts" that he really occurred.
He has also categorically rejected that he had been seen or had contact with Commissioner José Manuel Villarejo, who is being investigated by the judge as one of the architects of this operation. "The only certainty thing is that I have not seen this Lord in my life, this is the only truth and I am naturally going to say it: in my life," he said.
In its passage through the Research Commission, Last May, Villarejo assured, among other things, that he maintained "direct contact" with Rajoy through SMS to "answer" questions of the Government president about the progress of the operation. "It's absolutely false," Rajoy has now replied.
In the same way, it has been ironized on the versions given by Villarejo about its contacts and on whether or not they had been seen. "He said he did not know me, that he had met four times, that we had intermediaries," he said. And then emphasizes that he was not aware "of the existence of him" not even when he was Minister of the Interior.
Rajoy has said that he will not have "any problem in responding" to any question that is arranged in the Research Commission. That predisposition contrasts with the position that María Dolores de Cospedal adopted yesterday, who parapet in silence not to talk about the subject. The former general secretary of the PP, which was first charged and then set up that condition, was shielded that the Prosecutor's Office and the particular accusations have presented an appeal on the exemption of it. Therefore, she welcomed her constitutional right not to declare because her judicial horizon is not fully clear. Rajoy has said about it that he did "very well" because he had that safeguard.
