This is suggested by some audio recordings advanced by <em>Eldiario.es</em> which record conversations between Olano and employees of the public company Consorcio Valencia 2007. In the recordings, it can be heard how the politician allegedly facilitated information about future job openings that would have served the employees to be rehired once the company they worked for ceased to exist. The recordings belong to the case opened by the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office for alleged crimes of prevarication and influence peddling, in which the mayor of Valencia and high-ranking PP official, María José Catalá, and the president of the Port Authority, Mar Chao, among other public officials, are being investigated.</p>]]></description>

The last two statements by the now ex-Vox councillor at Valencia City Hall, Cecilia Herrero, who confirmed on Monday that she is moving to the non-affiliated group, open up an unprecedented scenario in the Valencian council, given that her departure means that the current PP and Vox government team is left in the minority. Her farewell<a href="https://en.ara.cat/politics/vox-councillor-declares-war-valencia-in-abascal-s-party_1_5305631.html" > joins that of her partner, councillor Juanma Badenas,</a> who was removed by the far-right party last week while he is being investigated for an alleged case of corruption.</p>]]></description>
