In the news the statement was attributed to Fernando Ledesma that he had membership in Freemasonry in common with Pascual Sala . Ledesma rectifies ECD The former Minister of Justice has addressed El Confidencial Digital to rectify the aforementioned information, and specifically the attribution of those words of his linking the former president of the TC and himself with Freemasonry. Ledesma shows his “ surprise and indignation” at the news and describes these statements as “radically false.” "At no time during my intervention did I make any allusion to Freemasonry, or to my or Don Pascual Sala's connection to it, a circumstance that, on the other hand, is equally false." The former minister requests that it be stated that “ I never alluded to Freemasonry in such intervention, nor am I linked to it in any way.” Pascual Sala denies relationship with Freemasonry For his part, the former president of the Constitutional Court refers to the news “in which my membership in Freemasonry is attributed to me, like the aforementioned Mr. Ledesma. Without prejudice to recognizing that Freemasonry is a fully legal association - and, therefore, deserving of all respect as any other that meets this condition -, I must state categorically that I neither belong nor have ever belonged to Freemasonry, nor do I have nor have I ever had any relationship with members of said association.” And he asks that it be clarified “that the statements made by one of the speakers – who was not, by the way, Mr.
Ledesma – at the lunch organized by some friends on the occasion of my farewell as President of the Constitutional Court were with clear joking and joking intention, the same as others related to my hobby of bullfighting - a hobby that I do not deny -, which were made with the same intention and in no way as real events or anecdotes. For this reason, in my farewell speech, which was totally serious and sincere, I did not make any reference Special Database to the aforementioned jokes." An information from ABC Regarding this act of tribute, the newspaper ABC published the following information on Wednesday: “But the real protagonists of the lunch were, according to what several attendees told ABC, the magistrate Ignacio Sierra , the former Minister of Justice Fernando Ledesma and the lawyer and friend of Room, Francisco Navarrete. The first two reviewed Sala's career and his jurisprudential contributions, while Navarrete, in a joking tone , joked about the hobbies that he shared with Sala, such as bullfighting and Freemasonry . As El Confidencial Digital reported, Pascual Sala, “in his speech to those attending the tribute, he did not refer to such matters at all: he did not allude to Freemasonry, nor did he deny his membership in it.”On July 6, the Minister of Industry, José Manuel Soria , will announce the definitive cessation of activity at the Garoña nuclear power plant, after the management company itself, Nuclenor, sent a request in this regard to the National Security Council.
However, as El Confidencial Digital has learned , the central government is managing a strategy that would allow the terminal to reopen in three years and extend its activity beyond 2019. The sources consulted by this newspaper explain that the Executive is based on a CSN report, which specifies that, in order for the plant to resume its activity during the next decade, “the presentation of the documentation” must be presented “with three years in advance of the date of granting the authorization .” This possibility was already announced during the previous legislature, in another announcement by the Council itself . During this period, Garoña would have to make a significant outlay to adapt its facilities to the new safety requirements, based on the mandatory technical specifications for all plants after the Fukushima disaster, as well as the new conditions included in the new energy reform , which Industry is drafting. The one-year shutdown extension has been ruled out The sources consulted by ECD explain that the possibility of extending the current situation of the plant, which has been shut down since 2012 , for one year , has been absolutely ruled out. This route was debated weeks ago in the National Security Council at the request of the Ministry of Industry, which wanted to consult on the viability of this one-year extension to give the company the possibility of requesting permission to resume activity. However, and despite the fact that the CSN gave its approval with three votes in favor and two against, the Ministerial Order was not issued before June 1, the deadline to carry out this extension. Furthermore, Nuclenor reported that, for economic reasons, it was not feasible to make the necessary disbursement to reopen the plant in one year . The Government's strategy, which makes it possible to return to activity in three years, and for Garoña to continue beyond 2019, makes this investment more feasible.
