In an interview with Director Daniel de Alfonso of the Catalan anti-fraud office, the Minister of the Interior can be heard in a conspiracy tone. It can be heard in the audios that he had the desire to publish in the media of the group Planeta.

Fernández Díaz also wanted to challenge two Convergència councilors from the Catalan government, believing that the relatives of Felp Puig and Francesc Homs could be involved in corruption cases.

As you can hear from the recordings, at the time of Fernadez Díaz’s confrontation with the independentists, the PSC tried to avoid cases in which they could be involved – in different municipalities.

Making these recordings public has caused a lot of controversy, although the main Spanish media have not picked them up on the cover. The director of the anti-corruption office said that “we do not conspire, at least not myself. I’m just meeting with whoever’s asking.”

The incident has been equated with the corruption case of President Jordi Pujol, who came to light during the Catalan Consultation. The week before the 9-N was held in the expansions. This time, on the eve of the Spanish Election Day on June 26.

All parties other than the PP have asked Mariano Rayoi for explanations. Also, most of them even ask for the resignation of the Minister of the Interior.
