If the procedural situation of the former Secretary of State for Security Francis Martinez in the Kitchen case it was not very flattering, because it is already awaiting trial, one of the audios that have been known this Wednesday, it is even more complicated. In a conversation she has with the former commissioner Jose Manuel Villarejo records that he was aware of “Operation Catalonia” and of the Kitchen, in which the former treasurer of the PP was spied on Luis Barcenas.
The dialogue, dated August 2014, between the one who was number two in the ministry when he headed it Jorge Fernandez Diaz and Villarejo begins by talking about the payments charged to the reserved funds that the Ministry of the Interior did so much to Vicky Alvarezwho was the girlfriend of the eldest son of the former president of the Generalitat Jordi Pujollike Sergio Riosthe driver of Bárcenas, who is hired to spy on him and try to snatch the documentation that is harmful to the PP that he kept.
The comment comes when Villarejo raises the misgivings of the first, feeling cheated by “Alicia”, in reference to the then president of the PP of Catalonia, Alicia Sñanchez Camacho, to which Martínez responds with a “but we have fulfilled“, and Villarejo replies: “With the subject of the fights, yes. And we go on“.
And there he also introduces the minister, of whom he says he should have spoken with the then operational deputy director, Eugene Pinebecause Álvarez had threatened Alicia and they feared that she would “talk”, despite the fact that they had two years paying him. Villarejo explains that the payments are made “with receipts without any type of letterhead”, with the identity of “Javier Hidalgo”, as payer. At that moment, Martínez asks “and who pays the cook?”to which his interlocutor replies that he, but also “in that way”, although with him the identity he uses is “Tomás”.
Fix the situation
As the conversation progresses, they return to certain issues such as the need to “find a solution” that goes through “give little by little to the fights, or make the paripé someone from the party!” to the conflict that Álvarez maintains with Sánchez Camacho. “She feels cheated, because she says that they recorded her conversation” and that they told her one day that they were going to give her 50,000 euros in exchange for her signature. “You have to evaluate if in those 50,000 euros that can be given five by five, and that’s how you keep it entertaining for a year,” says Villarejo.
It also refers to the employer Xavier of the Roseof which he says “that he lurches depending on who calls him”, which allows him to announce that he is going “let’s see if he cheatsbecause he has already received enough”, although he claims more, at which point he comments that he spoke “the other day with ‘el Polla’ (an alias he used to refer to the husband of the former general secretary of the PP, María Dolores de Cospedal, Ignacio Lopez del Hierro) Y he promised her that she would pay him in september what he owes.

The other day they gave me their phones, and the other day I gave them the joints, “the former commissioner is heard commenting.

At another point in the conversation, the former commissioner also points out to Martínez the convenience that, more and more, he be who acts as the only channel to deal with the matter related to Bárcenas. “I have not wanted to say anything to María Dolores or him to reduce tensions,” she told him, adding that “it is very ugly that it reaches ‘Barbas’, alluding to the former president Mariano Rajoy, the information both by the party and from the Ministry of the Interior. “Many things have been misunderstood in this double way, and of course one takes advantage and the other too, and on top of that, they don’t pay,” he deepened.
