The president of the session, the popular Eloy Suárez, explains to the rest of the senators who said “health reasons for health” in an E -mail that entered the Senate Register about 10.15 and that the president himself received in his admission tray only a few minutes before 11. Senate sources explain that Rodriguez, in the message sent, speaks of “anxiety”. The health reasons are exempt when they present themselves in a parliamentary commission. However, the PP asked to analyze this report thoroughly because he believes that he was sent a few minutes from his appearance and, according to his spokesperson, Alejo Miranda de Larra, may have received “some kind of consideration”.
The Senate’s legal services, at the request of this commission, will study the medical report in the next few days. If this relationship is valid, Rodríguez will be mentioned again.

“This is not fun.”
Larra asked that medical writing be scrupulously verified. This complies with the decision, but this surprises them. “If I would like to clarify that I hope there has been no pressure, collusion, or consideration for the plot, or from ábalos or by the psoe or any member of the government. We hope that there has been no consideration. We insist, we hope.” The socialist senator immediately replied:
“If you have evidence, to the courts.” If you don’t have them, you will go.
The PP has also affirmed that in the coming weeks the PP will bring a new legislation to the Senate Office so that the writings cannot be sent in the last minute “. The Senate sources believe that, if the medical relationship is valid, the new apparition of Rodríguez will be” for a long time “and not for the next few weeks.
