The PP trusts that the Conflict of Interest Office “acts with criteria of independence and objectivity, even though it depends on a Ministry,” according to party sources after registering its complaint.
“We also hope that this Office is not guided by the same protectionist and sectarian attitudes in favor of the Government as the one that, unfortunately, already prevails in the CIS of Tezanos or in the State Attorney General’s Office, to cite just two examples” , they have added the same sources.
