Spain's Court of Auditors detects irregularities in Vox donations
Spain's Court of Auditors (Tribunal de Cuentas) flagged alleged irregularities in donations received by Vox, according to reports published by El Plural and also picked up by El Mundo. However, the story has aged badly: sources close to the party say the case was dismissed and the party cleared of any responsibility.
The investigation, dating back more than two years, pointed to possible breaches in the funding of the far-right party. But critics of the auditing body – which answers to the Congress of Deputies – have pointed to its lack of impartiality. Some users note that the Court has also investigated other parties without exemplary measures being taken.
Meanwhile, on the political front, the controversy has given opposition parties ammunition to question Vox's transparency. But Abascal's party has always defended the legality of its accounts. Were there really irregularities, or was it an unfounded media operation? The case, closed by the courts, leaves more questions than answers.
