Media Bart said that a number of Spanish -elected officials recently resigned due to the disclosure of their academic backgrounds, while the questioning of France continues to be credible these issues despite many scandals.
The site said – in a report by Anton Roger – that a new scandal related to forged certificates shakes the Spanish political class, especially the right, after 6 years of a similar scandal that obstructed the arrival of socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez to power.
The representative and member of the young guards of the Noelia Nonones, 33, was forced to resign on Tuesday, July 22, after she was defamed the day before social media by Socialist Transport Minister Oscar Bennetti.
And that is after she claimed that she holds certificates in law, public administration and in the English language, before she recognizes under pressure, that she started studying in these various specialties, without completing the relevant courses.
The case of Noelia Nunez – according to the site – was the spark that sparked a series of scandals in the following days, from which elected officials were affected at various levels and parties.
This wave led to the resignation of Jose Maria Angel Batala, a former Senate member of the Socialist Party on Thursday, July 31, after an unknown communication accused of using a forged certificate to work as a government employee.
The next day, Agnasio Heiggero, Fox’s adviser from the far right in Extremadora, resigned, after he claimed that he obtained a marketing certificate from a university that does not grant this certificate.
Interest in Spain
Recently, Media Bart continued – Senate Pedro Roland was involved on Saturday, August 2, directly in an investigation conducted by the La Sixta newspaper, and his academic background appeared to be “many contradictions”, as he claimed in several publications to obtain a marketing certificate from a private school that does not grant this certificate, according to the TV channel.
These reports have received great attention in Spain, in which intellectual fraud cases are common – as the site says – as the President of Madrid region, Christina Cevwins, in April 2018, resigned from her position and ended her political career after revealing a courtesy certificate she obtained, and the forged documents she submitted in an attempt to defend herself, explaining the French website.
At the same time, the People’s Party leader in Congress Pablo Casado felt embarrassed after his confession of a master’s degree under very favorable conditions, and his exemption from attending the classroom and from presenting a thesis, and another investigation led to the fall of the newly specific socialist health minister, Carmen Monton, to steal from Wikipedia at her master’s thesis.
The spread of incomplete or forged university degrees is a phenomenon that is not limited to the Popular Party or Spain, and it increases the lack of confidence in political leaders.
In this context, opposition leader Albert Rivera called on Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez to reveal his complete thesis, and indeed the Prime Minister agreed to publish the text and acknowledged the existence of a “mistake” after an investigation conducted by the Spanish newspaper Elbias revealed his copy and paste in full paragraphs of a Spanish diplomatic discourse in one of his books, without signs of quotation or mention of the source.
Media Bart quoted the Elpiais newspaper clarifying that this scandal sheds light on “the spread of incomplete or forged university degrees, a phenomenon that is not limited to the Popular Party or Spain”, and it increases “lack of confidence in political leaders”, and it is “one of the forces driving behind the rise of the extreme right in Spain and Europe today.”
Elbias insists that “lying and repetition of lies is what the politician condemns,” a note that “the certificate of rights is not essential to the representation of citizens, but the integrity is the basic.”
Indifference in France
On the other hand, the Media Bart website warned that anything of this was not seen in France, where the High Commission for Transparency in Public Life monitors the assets of government officials and the conflict of their potential interests, but it does not monitor information related to their career.
However, France is not without intellectual fraud, as has shown several recent issues.
Indeed, these issues coincided in Spain – Media Bart – with the announcement of the date of the trial of former Socialist Interior Minister Bruno Lauro in a fake employment case, according to which he was paid to his two daughters as parliamentary allocations when they were in high school and then the university, but he had previously been involved in the charge of lying about his certificates, when he claimed that he joined the universities of Heck and Essik before he indicated that this was “wrong” This ends his government career.
The site stated that another minister before him during the era of former President Francois Hollande, Geneviev Fiorrasu, confessed to the existence of a “mistake” when Media Bart revealed in 2015 that she had never obtained a “master’s degree in economics” mentioned in her CV, but the case quickly refused, although the concerned at the time was a state minister for higher education.
As a sign of this indifference, the current president of the Constitutional Council Richard Ferran escaped from questions related to his university education for several months, before the Secretary -General of the Constitutional Council recently sent a certificate proving that he has already obtained a doctorate from the University of Paris Descartes in October 1983.
