What people are saying
It is TOTALLY FALSE to say that I have colonized the INE’s Internal Control Office with people close to me or that I have positions there.
It is clear that all week there has been a right-wing campaign to try to link me to false acts.
Every time an issue related to electoral matters comes up, they try to link me through accusations and invented stories.
