Likewise, he denounced the situation experienced this week by the former director of the National Intelligence Center (CNI), Paz Esteban, »who had been serving her country for 40 years«. “She’s had her head cut off and handed it to the separatists on a silver platter,” she concluded.

For her part, the regional coordinator of Cs, María José Ros Olivo, highlighted in her speech at the event, held at the Artillery Barracks, that “Citizens are very much alive in the Region”, while insisting that “this it is the only liberal project that exists».
