Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy told Parliament on Thursday that he was wrong to trust his former party financial chief for so many years, and repeated his vigorous denials of the ex-treasurer’s allegations the party ran a slush fund.
Rajoy surprised many in a special appearance before lawmakers.
He said he “was wrong to maintain confidence in someone we now know did not deserve it.”
Rajoy said of his decision to stand by Luis Barcenas, his long-standing political colleague, “I was wrong, and I’m sorry about it, but it happened.” He admitted that the scandal had damaged the country’s image.
