Millionaire purchases of art, complaints of workplace harassment, suspicious contracts, trips, expenses … The waterfall of irregularities about the management of the National Oncological Research Center (CNIO) unveiled since last December by this newspaper They have caused the dismissal of María Blasco, Scientific Director … from the center, after fourteen years to the front. Also that of the managing director, Juan Arroyo, with whom Blasco struggled, as ABC has learned.
This has been decided by the Board of Trustees of the Institution at its meeting this Wednesday. Those represented have agreed by majority vote and approve the joint cessation of both. Of course, in the minutes, it is stated that the autonomous communities present and some more employer, asked to vote them separately, as this newspaper has been able to know.
The Board of Trustees has also agreed to the interim substitution of Fernando Peláez while the vacancies are covered. Likewise, it has been decided to get public call immediately for the position of director.
This body is chaired by Eva Ortega Paíno, General Secretary of Research of the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities, and 15 institutions are represented, including the Carlos III Health Institute, the Higher Council for Scientific Research, the Secretary of State of health, different foundations and representatives of four autonomous communities (Balearic Islands, Extremadura, Murcia and Castilla y León).
Nothing has served Blasco to blame and turn the “two -phase” direction into battle, in his words, the center and his conflict with the managing director of the center, Juan Arroyo. Nor deny all accusations and sell as a victim of a crusade “against science”getting to equate with the victims of the Holocaust or with Albert Einstein himself in an open letter to the employers this week.
His last attempt, published this Wednesday by ABC, has been maneuvering so that the reports that They came to the employers did it in a “reduced” waytrying to make the report of his rival Arroyo be presented without annexes with evidence and documentation on irregularities. This Tuesday, at a press conference from the center itself, Blasco already hinted that some of the employers arrived “blind” to the meeting.
