We are a country where citizens are happy, where our judicial, political, and institutional system respects the laws and rights of citizens. Our accredited "rule of law" is strengthened by democratic values and respect for those who think differently. Everyone wants to follow our country model, or not? . Outside our borders they have a perception of 60 points in the corruption index (2022), which contrasts with the absence of publications regarding the events that put us in this position: is there someone corrupt in Spain? Isn't it news of interest? Is corruption persecuted in Spain?

It is very striking and the news of the closure of the asset recovery office (August-2023) for "meeting objectives" in the Valencian community has most likely gone unnoticed. This fact is relevant because it was the body dedicated to recovering the money defrauded in the "Cooperation" corruption case and it seems to have managed to recover the 8 million defrauded. It should be understood in this sense that there is not excessive interest in our institutions in recovering the money defrauded when it is necessary to open specialized offices for these "specific" cases of corruption. We must understand that our prosecutor system, which has among its functions that of protecting public money, does not find its own motivation in this activity. Let's give some examples:

  • Malaya case 60 million of 500 million euros have been recovered
  • ERE case of Andalusia, 23 million of a total of 1,200 million scammed money have been recovered
  • Cellnex case sentenced to return 250 million illegal aid from the Spanish government (note why they had to go to Europe to judicially resolve this file

You can find more files in any search engine, but abounding in the origin of the problem, it is even more worrying that we only have an anti-corruption office in some autonomous communities: Valencia, Catalonia, Navarra, the Balearic Islands and Andalusia, what happens with the rest of the autonomies? ..... They do not dare? do not care?
