The abuse of the executive transport planes of the Air Force has been one of the biggest vices of the socialist Pedro S\u00e1nchez.<\/p>\n
The president of the Spanish government has the habit of inventing official visits to a company as an excuse to use the Air Force's Dassault Falcon 900 planes to fly to public events of his party<\/strong>. Until now, the usual thing has been to use the plane to go to a company in a city and then go to a rally of the Socialist Party (PSOE) in its surroundings. But something new happened today.<\/p>\n The Minister of Defense visited those same shipyards two days before<\/big><\/p>\n This time, the event created ex profeso<\/em> as an excuse to go to a PSOE rally was a visit to the Navantia shipyards in Ferrol<\/a>. S\u00e1nchez went to that place precisely today instead of accompanying the Minister of Defense<\/strong>, Margarita Robles, who visited those shipyards two days ago<\/a> officially and without taking the opportunity to go to a socialist rally.<\/p>\n The real objective of S\u00e1nchez's trip: a socialist rally in Santiago<\/big><\/p>\n Ferrol does not have an airport, so S\u00e1nchez flew from the Torrej\u00f3n Air Base to the La Coru\u00f1a Airport<\/strong>, according to the Falcon Despega<\/a> website, which monitors all trips of government members on official planes. S\u00e1nchez arrived in La Coru\u00f1a at 9:32 in the morning. However, the return trip included a stopover in Santiago de Compostela<\/a>, the capital of Galicia (which also has an airport), where S\u00e1nchez participated this noon at a meeting of the Galician socialists<\/a>, which was the real reason for this trip.<\/p>\n A flight of only 12 minutes within the same province<\/big><\/p>\n As noted by @ciclbh2<\/a> on Twitter, the flight lasted only 12 minutes<\/strong>. The unusual thing about this case is that La Coru\u00f1a and Santiago are within the same province<\/strong>. Between Ferrol and Santiago there is a distance of 95 kilometers by highway. Thus, S\u00e1nchez would have taken less than an hour if he had traveled by car <\/strong>, but instead he has mobilized a plane within the same province.<\/p>\n S\u00e1nchez and his communist partners agreed to prohibit short flights<\/big><\/p>\n
