Restricted accounts Revilla Cantabria enter

Cantabria Some bank deposits were not included in the balance of Treasury / The Court of Auditors examines whether there is responsibility and accountability in government PRC-PSOE

The Court has already submitted to Congress and the Senate its report on the numbers of the Autonomous Community of Cantabria in 2004 and 2005. At the same it is stated that the Executive neophyte still Miguel Ángel Revilla (now with the socialist Angel Agudo at the forefront of public accounts) not recorded in the balance of Treasury money Autonomous contained in several restricted accounts. Also, the Accountant reveals that, at least then he moved the executive balances of the restricted accounts that did not correspond with reality. Another type of accounting irregularities and reviews about what Cantabria burdensome for how to organize public tenders up a report full of details of the deficiencies in the management of public funds. The process of analysis and workload of the Court of Auditors becomes work, when made public, in a kind of archaeological look at the last audited Administration. On this occasion a young Spaniard PRC-PSOE government in 2004 and 2005 aimed ways and powders that would become sludge. For example, the accounts reveal slight germination than then it would be a heavy oak, hard cut: debt. The Court recalls how Cantabria was in 2005 a debt of 251.5 million, reduced income and not just maintaining the expenditure ceiling, but its extension, leading to the forecast issued which is to close in 2011 with the Cantabrian owing to Banks not less than 1,500 million euros.

However these are known facts. What has not been known until now is that this report, the Court of Auditors found that the government of Revilla not totaled the assets of the restricted accounts he held in Caja Cantabria, Santander (BSCH then), BBVA, Banesto, Banco Popular integrating it into the Treasury balance. May in relation to that or not, the balance Accounts found differences between what he said the Government had in them and that reported by financial institutions.

Examples: an account in BBVA (which gives its number), the report notes that "has a balance at the end of 2004, as reported by the Autonomous Community (AC), 25,000 euros, according to the bank amounts to 502,000 euros. In 2005, the respective information presents a balance of 110,000 and 409,000 euros. "

irregularities with restricted accounts do not end there: Caja Cantabria reported that the Government had opened accounts with them from which the executive does not had informed the court (four, with several thousands of dollars on them.)

By contrary, Banesto did not report at the request of the Auditor of two accounts for which the Government itself had spoken. And that point opens the chapter of other criticisms of the Court of Auditors: "There is no evidence of the existence of control and monitoring of the activity of the collaborating institutions." By law, the executive is obliged to monitor what banks do with the money they raise for him. At least in those years was not.
may
relation to that or not, BSCH then sent to the Court, in Cantabria, a "wealth of information" that "had great difficulty reading, understanding and treatment, while not providing a clear and concise, all the information requested was needed to have."

auditors requested the Government to urge the bank to clarify the data. "Finally," says the report has not been given a new answer to the entity, so that the CA information for a large number of accounts could not be proven with bank information (the CA has, according to relations provided, at least 75 accounts with the counterparty). " The People's Bank also saw the Court of a tank with 59,400 euros in 2004 and 40,443 in 2005.

"As for the recommendations, I have to say the same thing I said in the other reports, sorry. 2004-2005 In this report we have to reiterate the recommendations in the 2003 report because he had not taken any steps to comply with it. " That was from February 16 Manuel Núñez Pérez, President of the Court of Auditors to the Joint Commission for the Courts. But irregularities and lack of control of restricted accounts are not the only shortcomings highlighted. The report says public speaking contest: "In the evaluation of bid prices should govern the largest declines in line with the principle of economy in the management of public funds. " That is, as a rule, which services more expensive saliesen bid was not the concern of the cabinet Revilla (at least at the time) when awarding works and services.

Similarly, the Auditor noted that "in contracts for works, particularly on roads, comprise a too generic and vague justifications about the need for public service."

also liaising with the political charges of bias in the granting of works that have fallen on the PRC-PSOE Executive, the Court stated that "in the statements of contests examined established, in general, and as appropriate, various award criteria lack precision, which is not consistent with the principles of openness and transparency in government procurement guidelines. "

In his appearance in Congress, Nunez confirmed the suspicions of Rep. Ana Maria Madrazo CP: Given the content of the report, the same had happened to the Tribunal's trial section headed, "which in turn determine if there or no financial responsibilities. "

According to the Organic Law 2 / 1982 of the Court of Auditors incurs responsibility accounting "which act or omission contrary to the law autochthonous the undermining of public funds or effects. " According to the same article the responsible "will be bound to compensation for damages." More


The desk review of ECA's work takes time. So despite that congressionally prosecute acts of Government of six and seven years ago, their lordships were tired. Some see the book much more interesting now that archeology in which the methods and means of the Court of Auditors make their work. Perhaps

why the president of the Congress-Senate Joint Committee for Relations with the Court Accounts, at the hearing on 16 February Núñez believed necessary to reassure: «(...) during the debates and interventions have raised concerns about the delay in analyzing these reports. Thus, to satisfy their Lordships, culminated with the presentation and discussion of these three reports the years 2004 and 2005. "

Anyway, there's more. Thus, an incipient interest in increasing the autonomy of the labor sector of public enterprises is joined by a significant increase in unpaid bills (which imported 282 million in 2005, twice thus closed 2004).

All these are practices that after six years from known data, most current, consistent as the origins of Miguel Ángel Revilla Executive. Is a function of archeology: confirm that 'of the powders, this sludge. "

280,000 euros in the Soplao but spends more than 300,000

"Juan Miguel García (...) (...) notes that promises to give in to the SL Soplao a percentage share in any profits from the exploitation, for all items , 25%. " The foregoing is part of the financial offer with the owner of the building Sieca SA took over the management of the cave The Soplao for 25 years. According to information provided yesterday in Parliament by the politician responsible for this concession, the Minister of Culture Francisco Javier López Marcano (PRC), the company Cantabria paid 280,000 euros for this item. That means that Miguel made a profit of 1,120,000 euros. The Ides of March with which he threatened a year ago and came with some disappointment, given the vehement announcement of his appearance had made the second of the PRC the day before.

The amount you receive back the Cantabrians is even more meager if one considers that the Cantabrian Government, through the signing of Marcano, was forced in 2006 to pay for advertising that is done in the Soplao investing not less than 300.000 per year.

Similarly, the flat fee of 125,000 plus 30,000 euros for research must also pay Sieca took the Brit not enough that the amount of the benefit the coffers of Cantabria, far from what you earn, after taxes, the builder torrelaveguense (with extensive experience in dealing with governments that fall into the hands of Lopez Marcano).

The regionalist gave the figure during a hearing before the Committee on Culture of the Parliament of Cantabria. At the same, with the decision of Judge Juan Piqueras deciding the temporary file the criminal case against the board and the builder in his hand, Marcano direct warnings and criticisms launched political opposition and to this day.

"You" by the PP, have behaved in Parliament, in cafes, bars on the premises of this mode of communication is its organ of expression, that means of communication which then assumes the paradigm of objectivity and who says they (...) before publishing a story, always, always ask the aforementioned opinion, always consult the contrary. And it says in the same act the mayor of Santander: Yes, it is true, I acknowledge it . "

The regional advisers was particularly interested in receiving an apology from the popular what he believes was a "witch hunt" against him and defend his team members, CEOs of companies identified as "most Cantabria placing agency" of people related to the PRC, according to the PP, present in committee.

And although the first part of the hearing the former mayor of Torrelavega (which began its relationship with SIEC) gave a list of key dates and the opening up of the Soplao sidestepped certain facts.

He put in the section of the slope in the vicinity of the cave: the refurbishment of the Plaza del Monte museum uses a high amount of work that should have been executed SIEC and yet (five years) has not carried out. This project gave almost twice as many points in that paragraph to SIECA (who had joined in 2009 and 6 million by the management of the cave, according to Miguel himself) against his opponent in the contest. The visitor center (something not mentioned by Marcano) has completed more cheaply than committed by the employer. Everything is due to the Cantabrian investment.

Support 'est Delendus Marcanus'

In one part of his speech professor of Latin famously quoted the senator Roman Republic Marcus Porcius Cato (nicknamed 'Old'), 'Delenda est Carthago' ("Carthage must be deleted '). Marcano, addressing the representatives of the PP, said yesterday: "For two years, you, you who have not been the complainants or the querulous have instigated, encouraged (...) and have been complicit in this complaint. not fooled. And their goal was' delendus est Marcanus' ... without doubt, no doubt. " History mark Carthage was indeed wiped off the map (spread salt on the ruins for not sprout nothing there again) by Rome in 146 BC appearance of counselor based equally on the promoting their management and Soplao criticism against the party who has asked explanations in Parliament (PP) and media reporting of irregularities in front of Culture.

Coal in Puerto Santander, traffic dying 'dive'

The goods have experienced a relentless decline in the Cantabrian springs, increased since the opening of the bulk terminal

In theory, the world is engaged in a common and consensual race to replace energy sources. Even the most conservative positions are nuanced in their speeches to highlight the importance of going by replacing energy generation sources (if only because they are finite). That's the theory. The practice is different; U.S. giant Arch Coal extractor collects in its latest annual survey that the world is building power plants at a good pace. Until 2015, 227 are expected to open (20 in Europe, 82 in India, 76 in China, 11 in the USA ...). And the Port of Santander, the largest economic heart of Cantabria, once a key piece in the movement of coal in the north, still fails.

The current period of office of the Port Authority of Santander (APS, Christian Manrique, since 2007) has been especially harmful to the health of this traffic. When Manrique (PSOE) goes to the chair of the figures mark Sotoliva Santander receives 829,000 tonnes a year overseas. A key figure in a pivotal year: 13% for the year in which it exceeded 6 million tons Manrique sets the target to maintain.

Neither the opening of a flagship of the Port infrastructure as solid mineral bulk terminal (early 2008) and his promise of cleaning effectiveness and managed to trace the precipitous drop.

In fact accelerates the serious bump this year. Iberdrola announced in March that it has decided to divert 100,000 tonnes of coal for its power plant Velilla de Río Carrión, Palencia, from Santander port Musel, in Gijón. It will not be the only traffic absorb Musel. Hundreds of thousands of tons of clinker, cars, the motorway of the sea, everything comes at the expense of Asturias Cantabria.

This year President Manrique (appointed on the proposal of the Government of Cantabria) says the Puerto de Santander "is behaving well before the economic crisis." If they think the dolphin and Javier del Olmo's successor, analysts should look for other reason then to explain that last year close with only 285,000 tons of coal.

When it opened, the port said the terminal is capable of discharging 20,000 tonnes per day. That would mean that, in total and referred to coal last year would have worked two weeks. It was advertised as capable of channeling up to three million tons of goods a year.

In September 2008, on a visit to the Port of the press, Manrique claimed to have suffered as a child the problem of powdery carbon emissions in the region of Castilla-Hermida. Understand why he said complaints from neighbors and was glad to have ended with the escape of dust that came up to the windows thanks to the terminal. To follow the current trend terminal will not be necessary because there is no dust retained.

Support: The extension that harms the APS

For the sake of posts work in December, the European Union agreed to extend, exceptionally EU aid to European coal mines deficit. fundamental the decision was the weight in the EU two countries that were for: Spain and Germany . Today is much cheaper to import material countries like Russia or China . And that is dedicated Solid Bulk Minerals (GSM) at the Port.

therefore the fact that the EU hold your breath artificial mines national and intra European makes can weaken imports coal. That does not bode well for medium term (the extension is initially agreed to 2014, but was lengthened to 2018) good news to Santander, its Port and the turning economic which should mean. If EU policies and therefore prices not help, maybe the vacuum can cover only in PHC management.

Opinion: "Velarde, today, and Wikileaks" PRC Government-

Spain has a long way since those times. Yesterday and today we celebrate to commemorate the final victory after the death of Don Pedro Velarde and Santillan, but young and not so careful to get awnless Daoiz crumble and Velarde, who do not know if one, as Ramon y Cajal. And strong wind noise in our ears, we look back. We go to the office of British Consul in Madrid, John Hunter. There, the diplomat wrote his report on the events of May 2, 1808 to Foreign Minister of His Majesty, George Canning. One of the first cables, the style revealed by Wikileaks, of history.

The British described the performance of the bloody French and defense "glorious" in the tank artillery in the House of Monteleone. The gringos wanted access to the magazine, arms control, but "a handful of English gunners and some civilians, led by two brave artillery officers and Velarde Daoiz called" going to say, based on blunderbuss, how expensive it would have pay.

That same morning, at 10.00 hours, Napoleon had forced Spain into the modern age. With blood. Opening fire on the crowd, who saw how they took the last member of the Royal Family. One of the oldest nations in the world, the ancient and glorious Spain was about to be a branch of the country of croissant. No. No!

The Mamluks had already done its job in the Plaza del Sol More dead. Then a few hundred French soldiers had fallen in the streets of Madrid, victims of knives, clubs, knives, scissors, and the least firearms. Spain could not count or their political nor its military. The first thing we are used even today. The second added drama to the passage. Everything seemed to have already spoken. For the people - nose! - But without the people, it was decided that Napoleon could have anything he wanted in Spain.

And lo, a wayward officer said no. The orders were clear: no action. But the Frogs were slaughtering civilians. And Pedro Velarde, along with Luis Daoiz and Torres confronted the French invincible for a magazine. Murat's forces controlled in the same no weapons were manufactured. Velarde and a handful of soldiers and civilians evict and defend the square with his life.

The Frogs would pay dearly. The ambitious and evil general Murat low but hid their dead and defections Canning tells Hunter that since May 3, 4000 French were less. And the seed. Velarde, Daoiz and his brave Monteleone planted a seed: the national uprising. Bailen. And the defeat of the French. And the victory of Spain and the English.

The importance of the battle for Madrid and artillery skirmish in the House of Monteleone is that it is a symbol. Demanding a symbol that looks at us, asking what we are willing to take for what we are. The question is who of you would have entered the definition of "glory" of English diplomatic cable? Are you willing to get off the board to the enemies of his family, mine, your country? Would he have risen by Velarde and would have defended at all costs Monteleone flag? Then do it today. There are ways less violent but equally useful and far-reaching. And this time there is no reason to die. Get up.

PSOE refuses to process the parks of their own farm contest

Environment collects the opinion of legal service: they have no legal cover / has been a recurring criticism of the opposition to the intentions of the Executive

"We need to process and resolve first assessment the [new] plan [Cantabria energy] and only later can be processed that of the corresponding projects [wind farm]. Otherwise it could circumvent the purpose of the Strategic Assessment, which aims to provide an overview and overall, compared to evaluations of projects, focusing on the isolated analysis of the environmental impact of a particular wind farm. "

With those words the Legal Service of the Government of Cantabria closes the door to the admission of new wind projects, for now. Bound by that opinion, the General Directorate of Environment has filed applications for wind farms already raised by some winners of the competition mounted from the Government of PRC-PSOE Cantabria.

The problem, though deeply important legal, seems clear: the current Energy Plan Cantabria (Plenercan) does not support the amount of megawatt wind turbines that the government has auctioned by public tender. The Plenercan gives legal cover for 300 MW which is surpassed by the 1,400 wind contest.
Environmentalists, conservationists, people of the Culture, Arts, Science and civic life in general of Cantabria, the regional PP, the National Energy Commission, the Ombudsman and a member of the Executive to Cantabria. Everyone had warned him of organizing illegal a competition without passing before a wind energy plan.

Legal Service states that it should evaluate the overall impacts of these 1,400 MW in the new plan and then and only then adopt environmental claims separately from each park and not the reverse, which is what would attempted with the current presentation of projects before approving a new energy plan. That nuance

already been picked, as reported by THE WORLD in January, the Ombudsman, who expressed surprise at the way that it had the Government of Cantabria, "it seems that the chosen order is the reverse indicating logic. Instead of deciding first the suitable areas to place wind turbines and the maximum power to install them, subjecting those decisions to the controls falling within the Strategic Assessment (including consultation and public information) and then call to order a public tender offer in accordance with planning, the Government of Cantabria has regulated and organized the first public tender for allocation of wind power to authorize then rated power companies to install wind farms. "

The Ombudsman agreed with the PP, one year before, in January 2010, described the procedure as "legal fraud." The popular, however, have always gone beyond (since the controversy erupted in the summer of 2009), stating that this rush came because the contest itself was an "outrage" that want to make "four of the Government with four friends."

In any case, the actions of the Ministry of Environment, in the hands of socialist Francisco Martín, through its general director Javier García-Oliva, had two levels: on one hand the administrative, picking up, if I wanted to pinch fingers legally speaking, the legal opinion of its legal services.

Furthermore, the politician, in a kind of forward flight in the form of statement that reached the editors of the media yesterday afternoon. In it, in addition to affirming that government lawyers provide something that the government "knew" Garcia-Oliva goes further: "What has made the Ministry of Environment supported by the report of the legal services of the Government, is transferred to developers who had been advanced [sic] to submit projects of wind farms in areas currently not covered by the existing Plenercan, and should expect to finalize the Strategic Environmental Assessment of the new Plenercan to cancel the corresponding statement Environmental impact of each park. "

The truth is that the executive did not notice about it when, two weeks ago, on April 5, recognized that the bidders had submitted projects for almost 50% (700 MW, more or less) of the MW auctioned.

Then there's a certain amount of contradiction: The PRC-PSOE government has repeatedly assured the Cantabrians the environmental safeguards with the statements of each park, now admits that it is necessary to have a comprehensive assessment within a plan.

The executive handles and a new energy plan 2011-2020 but its passage may not resolve a troubling issue for bidders: Strategic Environmental Assessment need not admit, environmentally the 1,400 MW have been dealt. And companies may ask why Cantabria responsibilities.
