Cerdán's Basque partner who was the contact between EH Bildu and the PNV

VitoriaAntxon Alonso Egurrola is a businessman from Elgoibar who met Santos Cerdán almost twenty years ago in Milagro (Navarra), where the former secretary of organization of the PSOE was a councilor. Their first shared business did not work out, but the friendship and collaboration between the two was just beginning. A few years later, Santos and the Gipuzkoa, that is, the Guipuzcoan, meet again. If the UCO report is to be believed, the man currently imprisoned in Soto del Real joined two political powerhouses: María Chivite and Pedro Sánchez. At the same time, Antxon allegedly built up both of their businesses. Later, according to the police report, Koldo García, the traitor who recorded everything, would join them.

Always according to the Civil Guard, in 2015 they created the Noran Cooperative, and from there the business expanded to the state with the involvement of José Luis Ábalos. The agents believe that the more political influence Santos achieves, the better deals Antxon makes, which he allegedly divides among the three (or four, or...). Cerdán, for his part, denies everything except for the friendship with Antxon, with whom he explains that they even shared a flat in Madrid. In fact, the Civil Guard believes they are co-owners of Servinabar, one of the companies targeted in the plot, something Santos denies because the document indicating this was never taken to a notary. In any case, Antxon, in his circle of friends in Elorrio, is not evidently enriched. Nor is it in Santos. The opposite of Koldo.

His friend Santos declared to the Supreme Court that, in addition to being a businessman and friend, Antxon had been his main facilitator to access the PNV and EH Bildu. More or less that, without him, they nationalist PNV If they hadn't approved the motion of censure against Rajoy or Chivite, she wouldn't be the president of Navarre. Something similar to the facilitator of the facilitator. Her inner circle already knew about her ideological proximity to the PNV and her relations with EH Bildu (Arnaldo Otegi has already acknowledged that he was the one who introduced her to Cerdán), but from there to being a cornerstone of the PSOE's pact policy seems too far. On Monday, she has to appear before the Supreme Court as a defendant. Let's see what it says.

Antxon is not The third man, comparing this corruption film with the thriller cult film directed by Carol Reed in 1949, with Joseph Cotten, Alida Valli and Orson Welles in the repertoire. Gipuzkoa appears at the beginning. In any case, Antxon would be The first man.
