Esperanza Aguirre, the boss who knew nothing

Esperanza Aguirre testified in a corruption trial involving her former deputy Ignacio González, claiming ignorance of alleged misconduct. She resigned in 2017 for political responsibility after González's imprisonment. Aguirre proposed a golf course in Madrid to replace a helipad used by politicians, but the project was executed by González, who allegedly manipulated contracts for personal gain. Aguirre defended her idea as beneficial, despite the legal issues surrounding it. She has faced scrutiny over corruption since the Gürtel case emerged in 2009, which implicated several officials from her administration.
