I did nothing and had no interest in the bailout." José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero testified for four hours before the Senate's Koldo case investigation committee. <a href="https://en.ara.cat/politics/the-pp-will-summon-zapatero-to-the-senate-committee-investigating-the-koldo-case_25_5596037.html">called by the PP</a> at the start of the election campaign in Castile and León to talk, primarily, about the Plus Ultra bailout. A case that <a href="https://en.ara.cat/politics/the-civil-guard-arrests-third-businessman-in-the-leire-diez-case_1_5589016.html">is under investigation</a> for alleged money laundering – it is questioned whether part of the bailout could have been used to launder money from corruption in Venezuela – and which the Popular Party has long considered highly credible.</p>]]></description>
