Former Spanish Vice President Soraya Sáenz de Santamaría stated she had no memory of the 'kitchen' operation or the turbulent period the PP party faced following the publication of its 'B' accounting. She also denied any knowledge of the creation of a 'patriotic police' or giving instructions related to it, despite her oversight of the CNI intelligence agency at the time. She was previously responsible for overseeing the National Intelligence Centre (CNI). The statement was made in response to inquiries regarding the source of funding for the alleged espionage plot. Former Vice President Soraya Sáenz de Santamaría testified in a trial involving the Ministry of the Interior during Mariano Rajoy's administration. The trial examines allegations that police operations were used to protect the People's Party (PP) from corruption and to undermine political rivals.

The case involves the leadership of the Ministry of the Interior. Former Vice President Soraya Saez de Santa Maria and former People's Party Secretary General Javier Arena both denied knowledge of a suspected police plot during the Kitchen case trial in Spain. The National Court scheduled a rest day for the proceedings this Tuesday. The hearing is being closely monitored for key testimonies. The National Court has exonerated Jordi Puyol from the trial regarding hidden family wealth in Andorra. This condition prevents him from testifying or facing a criminal process under appropriate conditions.
