The Ministry of the Interior made public this morning the call for aid for associations of victims of terrorism for this year. In the midst of the controversy over the murky fate of the million-dollar subsidies for training courses, victims' associations will have to be content with the same amount as last year. According to the text of the call, the Interior demands that 45% of the aid be allocated to the health and psychological assistance of victims of terrorism. Another 20% must be dedicated to the current expenses of the foundation itself, and the remaining 35% for development programs of the associative movement and social awareness actions. The amount of aid will be determined, as is usual, depending on the size of each foundation and its number of members. The majority is the Association of Victims of Terrorism (AVT), chaired by Ángeles Pedraza , and the March 11 Association Affected by Terrorism, led by Pilar Manjón . These two entities usually account for 35%-40% of the total aid distributed by the State. Lack of budget The distribution of subsidies to victims' associations has been the subject of controversy in recent weeks. Pedraza, from the AVT, has criticized that the work they do with their health and psychological support partners was reduced to the point of being in danger . The president of the AVT complained above all about the reduction by the autonomous communities. This year the Interior has frozen them when the previous year they rose from 800,000 to 880,000 euros.
For her part, Pilar Manjón, from 11-M, criticized the current distribution of this aid as “unfair.” Manjón's argument was that they were given by number of partners , however, Interior did not verify that this list of partners was repeated and Phone Number List sometimes even tripled , according to her words. “We ask the Ministry of the Interior to request, if it has to, a copy of the membership book and for the Ministry to evaluate the members,” he said.Luis Bárcenas is going through the worst moments since he entered prison. The former treasurer of the PP, who in recent months has undergone a change of attitude that worries the management of Soto del Real, has decided to confine himself to his cell after having been sanctioned with 140 days without walks in the prison yard after a altercation with three civil guards. As reported in these pages , Luis Bárcenas has become, for some time now, a troubled prisoner . His behavior, prison technicians explained, began to be “less good” after Christmas. Since then, he “ tries to be treated as a special prisoner .” Specifically, he “demands a series of benefits that no one has,” which has caused him to have a greater distance from the rest of the inmates and the Soto del Real staff . This change in attitude has also caused a couple of incidents with civil guards. The most serious, which occurred on January 8 when he was going to be transferred to the Gregorio Marañón, has caused Bárcenas to receive a disciplinary sanction in prison, consisting of the deprivation, for 140 days, of the walks in the courtyard to which all prisoners are entitled. internal.
Well, as El Confidencial Digital has learned , the opening of this file against Bárcenas, and the subsequent punishment, has caused the former treasurer of the PP to have decided to confine himself to his cell , without interacting with anyone and only allowing himself to be seen to go to dining room during meal shifts. Turn to reading to try to calm your nerves The sources consulted by ECD explain that, before and after the sanction, Bárcenas “has shown that it is easy for him to lose his temper, and it is increasingly difficult for him to stay calm .” The former PP senator “believes that he should continue to have treatment similar to what he had on the street, when he worked as treasurer in Genoa, and he gets angry with officials when they do not address him as, he thinks, they should .” Faced with so much tension, Luis Bárcenas has resorted to reading to try to calm his nerves. However, although the sanction does not prevent him from making group visits to the library, " he prefers to ask for a series of books and have them brought to his cell , since he does not want to interact with anyone." He is writing down everything he remembers from his time in the PP This confidential person has contacted the Gómez de Liaño & Márquez de Prado law firm, which legally represents Luis Bárcenas. From the law firm they explain to ECD that the spirit of the former treasurer is “excellent” , and that, in fact, he dedicates most of the day to reading: “In a stage like the one he is experiencing, he is taking the opportunity to consult books that he always “They had interested him.
