When Ferrovial announced its intention to leave Spain, Nadia Calviño, then Minister of Economy, criticized the decision, arguing, among other things, that Rafael del Pino's construction company had grown so much "thanks to public works projects and the contributions of every Spaniard over decades." However, Ferrovial is not the only exception. All the major Spanish construction companies have grown in the shadow of public contracts, including Acciona, the multinational founded and controlled by the Entrecanales family (which owns 55.12% of the share capital), and which this week is once again at the center of the storm. of the Cerdán caseThis has cost it almost 7% of its market value in the last five days.

The importance that the magistrate gives to the evidence collected and the fact that the risk of its destruction has disappeared have even led him to release Santos Cerdán on bail, imprisoned in Soto del Real for more than four months.

Corruption continues to threaten Pedro Sánchez's government. The Civil Guard has produced a report in which Santos Cerdán, former organizational secretary of the PSOE, appears as the link between the Spanish government (specifically Minister Ábalos, who was Minister of Transport) and the construction company Acciona.

While the former Secretary of Organization of the PSOE has been in Soto del Real prison for almost five months, a new report from the Central Operational Unit (UCO) places him as a "liaison" between the Ministry of Transport and Acciona, the construction company allegedly involved in irregular public works contracts. In return, he or his associates received "personal profit" from Servinabar, the company linked to Santos Cerdán (according to the UCO). bought 45%, a version whose defense denies), which had a close economic link with Acciona. The Civil Guard report, to which ARA has had access, was the trigger for the records from last week at different Acciona and other locations indictment of three executives Those linked to the company have been summoned to testify on December 3rd.

The construction company chaired by José Manuel Entrecanales has announced the dismissal of the head of its Construction department in Spain, Justo Vicente Pelegrini, as well as the termination of the current contracts with the company Servinabar 2000, which also appears in the UCO report.

Acciona, the multinational created and controlled by the Entrecanales family, has been in the spotlight since Wednesday due to its appearance in the UCO report on the Cerdán case. Specifically, the spotlight has been on Acciona's construction business; allegedly, the network formed by Koldo García, José Luis Ábalos, and Santos Cerdán received illegal commissions in exchange for helping the company win. public works contracts.

For the past five years, the Silence S01, a motorcycle manufactured at the brand's plant in Zona Franca, in part of the former Nissan facilities, has been the best-selling electric motorcycle in Europe.
