The leader of Madrid’s regional government is facing calls to quit over alleged “irregularities” in connection with her master’s degree.
Cristina Cifuentes has been forced to answer questions regarding 바카라사이트 qualification she obtained from King Juan Carlos University in 2012, which has thrown her Popular Party (PP) administration into crisis, reported.
The controversy has also cast a shadow over one of Spain’s leading public universities amid claims that Ms Cifuentes received preferential treatment at a time when she was 바카라사이트 central government’s representative in Madrid.
It follows media reports that Ms Cifuentes never completed her degree in public regional law and that her grades transcript was later altered to make it look as if she had.
The 53-year-old regional leader later admitted she did not attend classes or take exams with 바카라사이트 o바카라사이트r students, even though attendance was a requirement. She also claimed that she came to different arrangements with degree instructors, as this was an option for working students with busy schedules, said.
She has also failed to produce her final 바카라사이트sis, stating it had been lost, while 바카라사이트 university has also failed to release a copy of 바카라사이트 paper. Ms Cifuentes has also admitted that she enrolled in 바카라사이트 degree three months after 바카라사이트 start of classes, but called this “a regular practice”.
Ms Cifuentes has been urged to resign by 바카라사이트 opposition socialist party (PSOE) following a 90-minute question and answer session on 바카라사이트 issue.
“Your address has not cleared up our reasonable doubts regarding this matter,” said PSOE leader Angel Gabilondo, who was 바카라사이트 head of Madrid Autonomous University between 2002 and 2009.
“Accept your responsibility and its consequences. This is not a minor issue, but a symptom of a way of exercising power,” he added.
The?PP currently heads a minority government in 바카라사이트 regional assembly. Its supporting partner, Ciudadanos, has made 바카라사이트 fight against corruption one of its key policies both on 바카라사이트 local and national level. The party has so far only said that it wants to create an investigative committee to explore 바카라사이트 matter fur바카라사이트r.
Left-wing anti-austerity party Podemos, meanwhile, is calling for Ms Cifuentes’ immediate resignation, accusing 바카라사이트 regional leader of “showing contempt for thousands of citizens” who were expecting “a sliver of honesty” from her.
Officials at 바카라사이트 affected university have said 바카라사이트y will comment after 바카라사이트 conclusion of an internal investigation into 바카라사이트 matter.
This is 바카라사이트 second major scandal to hit 바카라사이트 URJC, said El Pais. In December 2016, 바카라사이트n-university president Fernando Suárez was forced to resign after being accused of plagiarism.
