Photo reveals friendship between dealer and president of Galicia


President of Galicia refusal resignation, demanded by the opposition, after disclosure of a photograph next to a drug dealer.

Spanish media published photographs of Alberto Núñez Feijóo, President of the Autonomous Community of Galicia, showing that maintained a friendly relationship with the drug dealer Macial Dorado, in the 90s of last century.

The leader Galician - reelected in October last year - reacted, this Monday, the scandal and refuses to resign by understanding that it is "just old photographs", ensuring that not done "anything illegal," said the newspaper 'El parents'.

Feijóo, one of the PP politicians best positioned to succeed as president Mariano Rajoy's party, believes that the publication of photographs is part of a "conspiracy" that attempts to "frighten".

About his friendship with the dealer Marcial Dorado - who is serving a sentence of 14 years in prison for drug trafficking - Feijóo guarantees that had nothing to do with their responsibilities then "as a member of the Government."

The President will ensure that at the time the pictures were taken "knew nothing about the past or about the activity" of Marcial Dorado, and explained that as soon as he learned of the illegal business, "cut the relationship you had with that person."

In a press conference, Feijóo did point out that "never signed nor made ​​any contract" with Marcial Dorado.

However, the explanations of the President of Galicia not convince the opposition, which demanded the resignation of the popular leader, because he "maintained a stable relationship" with people "cataloged as drug traffickers," said the leader of the Socialist Galicians.

Also nationalist BNG understand that "a person who maintains such friendships can not be president of Galicia."
