“Antelo presionó a varios concejales de Vox para contratar 'a dedo' a la empresa que él apadrina”
About: José Ángel Antelo Paredes (Vox Murcia)
The exact opposite of the Ineco case: a reply made of adverbs. It "categorically" denies the characterisations — pressure, reprisals — and touches none of the checkable facts: not the company, not the town halls, not the public-health remit.

«D.

Translation
"Mr José Ángel Antelo Paredes categorically denies having exerted any pressure on councillors or public officials to award contracts to any company, or having intervened in public procurement procedures for the purpose of benefiting private interests."

José Ángel Antelo Paredes, right of rectification under Organic Law 2/1984, published by Vozpópuli on 16 March 2026. EDITOR'S NOTE: the rectification offers no date, no figure and no document. It denies the characterisations — pressure, reprisals — which are precisely the parts that cannot be checked, and leaves every fact untouched: the company, the town halls and the public-health remit.
