Navarre Parliament summon requested from Elma Saiz by UPN, demanding full cooperation, particularly in relation to the Cerdán case.
Elma Saiz, the current Minister of Inclusion, Social Security and Migration in Navarre, is under scrutiny as she has been asked to appear before the investigation commission of the Parliament of Navarre regarding public works contracts awarded during her tenure as a councillor.
The parliamentary investigation focuses on potential irregularities, conflicts of interest, or issues of transparency in the management and adjudication of public contracts during Saiz's time in the regional government. UPN, a political party in Navarre, has been vocal about their concerns, accusing Saiz of trying to distance herself from any potential mismanagement under her party.
One of the key issues under investigation is the contract awarded to Santos Cerdán for the works of Belate, which Saiz is said to have exceptionally exempted the president of the contracting table from appearing before the commission. UPN has also questioned why Saiz has not appeared voluntarily before the commission.
In a separate matter, UPN has raised concerns about Elma Saiz's party, along with Geroa Bai and EH Bildu, allegedly obstructing Saiz's appearance before the commission in an attempt to hide potential corruption.
Elma Saiz, however, has denied any wrongdoing, stating that she was no longer a councillor when the works of Belate were awarded. She also defended the contracts of her party's communities, asserting that they were not of national security.
Meanwhile, the Romero brothers and other companies were fined 7.4 million euros for market manipulation in EIDF, adding to the ongoing discussions about accountability in public contracts and business practices in Navarre.
The number of workers affected by collective dismissals has also seen a significant increase by 34.6% until May, raising concerns about the economic impact of such investigations and the overall stability of the region's job market.
As the investigation continues, Saiz has the opportunity to explain her actions with transparency and contribute to restoring public trust in the regional government's contract management practices.
