The Minister of Territorial Policy and Democratic Memory, Ángel Víctor Torres, has appointed Roberto García as cabinet director of his Ministry of Territorial Policy in replacement of Antonio Olivera, who pays the broken dishes of the ‘Mascarillas Case’ in which his boss is wrapped. Of course, sources from the Ministry rushed to emphasize that Olivera has resigned from “own request and family reasons”, a classic hose with which the government washes their hands. Because Olivera has been part of the team of the now minister since Torres was president of the Canary Islands, occupying the position of Vice Minister of the Presidency, as well as director of the Canarian Health Service (SCS) in the 2019-2023 Legislature and, from December 2023 to the present, he has been its Cabinet Director in the Ministry of Territorial Policy and Democratic Memory. Their presence in the investigation commissions linked to the “Koldo Case” have to do with the fact that it was aware of the purchases made by the then Canarian government of Torres to the Koldo plot. That is, Olivera was aware of everything.
No one is hidden that his relay has to do with the case and that the Minister of Territorial Policy, dotted with the scandal, has decided to use as a scapegoat. Because we are not facing another change in the ministerial structure, but Olivera’s exit has a greater significance. Torres does as the presidents of the football clubs questioned by the bad progress of the team. Hold on to the armchair and charge and the coach. In this case, Víctor Torres delivers the head of his chief of cabinet to save his, a very little dignified movement but eloquent enough to understand that the minister has decided to parapet in the position by throwing his man of trust at the feet of the horses. Sign that fears for your political future.
