FACUA asks former Iberdrola directors for 3 years in prison for inflating the price of energy in 2013
The consumer association FACUA has requested sentences of three years in prison for four former directors of Iberdrola whom it accuses of irregularly inflating the price of energy at the end of 2013. It also demands that the company be sentenced to pay more than 107 million euros in fines.
According to his indictment, to which he has had access elDiario.es, FACUA accuses Iberdrola Generación España and these former directors of “progressively modifying the prices of the offers of the Duero, Sil and Tajo plants” between November and December 2013. The price escalation ended, according to FACUA, not when the company decided, but when the contribution of renewable energy plants reduced the market price.
Iberdrola’s objective, explains FACUA, was “to place the prices of the power plants’ bids above the market price” and thus continue “de facto depriving water as a raw material to procure the production of hydroelectric energy and, with it, further raise the market price with which to obtain fat profits”.
The Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office was the one who made his indictment public a few days ago. In it, he accused Iberdrola of “provoking the rise in the price of electricity and harming consumers” with a system to raise the price of energy, generating damage of 107 million euros to its customers. The Public Ministry requested two years in prison for each director and more than 84 million in fines.

Belarra has considered that there is a “very good opportunity in the negotiation of budgets to mark a milestone that recovers the pace of social progress and that there is no feeling that it is Podemos alone that raises flags that should belong to the entire Government progressive”.

The CIS publishes this Wednesday its post-election survey of the Andalusian elections of 19J
The Center for Sociological Research (CIS) will publish this Wednesday, July 6, the preview of the results of its survey ‘Post-electoral regional elections 2022. Autonomous Community of Andalusia’, carried out after the Andalusian Parliament elections held on June 19.
The progress of the results of said study will be available to all the media and interested persons from 12:30 p.m. this Wednesday on the website of the Center for Sociological Research (www.cis.es), as reported on Tuesday by the public body itself.
Before the June 19 elections, the CIS published two surveys with voting intention data for said elections, which were released a few hours after the start of the electoral campaign –on June 2–, and the last day that the electoral law allowed the dissemination of polls for said elections, Monday, June 13.
On both occasions, the CIS survey predicted a victory for the PP-A, which finally came at the polls on 19J, in which the party led by the current acting president of the Board, Juanma Moreno, won with an absolute majority translated into 58 seats of the 109 that the Andalusian Parliament has, after concentrating 43.1% of the votes.
