K. Garat: the journalist who broke the Koldo scandal and saved the best for later
In February 2024, with hardly any resources and against the grain, journalist K. Garat began publishing the pieces that would trigger the Koldo case scandal. While the mainstream media were still asleep, she had already connected the face mask contracts with the network that now reaches the top of Spain's Socialist Party. But the juiciest part, as she revealed in a recent interview, she has saved for a future book: personal details about Pedro Sánchez that she considers "too much for the current political moment".
Garat did not reveal the PSOE's systemic corruption (as some call it) to anyone who did not already suspect it. Her achievement lies in the details, the ramifications and the parallel reactions she has been documenting. Since March 2024 she had already flagged Begoña Gómez's links to Globalia and the face masks, and Koldo García's web of contracts. The investigation, with no budget and under pressure, has kept adding layers until it reached the court case from the investigating judge that shook up the board this week.
What the official debate leaves out
Some analysts argue that Garat has merely confirmed what was already common knowledge in political circles: that Ábalos was living the high life. But the documentation provided —contracts, emails, dates— turns suspicion into evidence. Others argue the real impact lies in what she is withholding: the information about Sánchez she has decided not to include in her book 'Todos los hombres del Presidente' (All the President's Men). "I understand her reasons, but I don't like them," one viewer of the interview summed up. The decision to hold those cards for a future volume suggests the scandal may have a second act.
The context of a lone-wolf investigation
Garat worked without a safety net. Her articles in The Objective during March 2024 ("Mujer Sánchez trámites Globalia mascara" and "Koldo García contratos esa época en el 2020 de la que yo le hablo Ábalos") were the first wake-up call. While other voices pointed to conspiracies, she simply trinc the paper trail. Judicial confirmation came with the court case implicating the former minister. The journalist has known how to pace the information, waiting for absolute verification to avoid mistakes that could unravel the whole case.
The question left hanging is how much more she could have exposed if she had included that chapter on Sánchez. The debate is open and has no answer. What nobody disputes is that Garat has put the facts on the table. The rest, as she herself suggests, is yet to come.
