López Denies Knowledge of Ábalos' Parador Party: 'Rumors and Jokes'

Spanish Senator Óscar López firmly denied any knowledge of a party allegedly hosted by former Minister José Luis Ábalos at a state-run Parador hotel during a recent Senate appearance. López, appearing before the Senate committee, stated, "Jamás, nunca he tenido conocimiento de un hecho como ese, ni en ese parador ni en ninguno." His statement directly counters allegations circulating in the media about a lavish party involving Ábalos. The video evidence of his testimony adds weight to his denial. The incident has sparked a political debate in Spain, with opposition parties demanding further investigation. López's categorical denial, however, appears to close the matter for now.
