Monica Oltra maintains a firm stance as questions arise about her honor, insisting that she never gave explicit instructions in cases of abuse attributed to her former husband. She stresses that she did not intervene at any technical level, either at the Niñ o Jesús de Valencia center or at another facility involved in the matter.
At the center where abuses allegedly occurred, the workers report that the educator accused by a minor is the spouse of Oltra. The former minister, however, contends that the center staff do not know whether this information is known to them or how it might reach them.
One focal point of Oltra’s questioning concerns an email from a technician in the Ministry of Equality and Inclusive Policies Sub-Branch sent to the center manager on February 21, 2017, which is part of the ongoing case. She notes that a message referencing a psychologist appointment for the minor was sent late in the evening of a Tuesday. Oltra argues that the phrase totally appreciated is a subjective evaluative element used by a technician, and she emphasizes that technicians rely on their faithful knowledge and understanding in their assessments.
Oltra answers questions from Judge Vicente Ríos to offer her interpretation on three key issues. The court is considering whether she should order a parallel report after the case goes to trial and what purpose such a report would serve, particularly in relation to the minor’s account and any alleged abuses by her ex-husband as well as why there was no report to the Juvenile Prosecutor’s Office for several months.
closed door instruction
The declaration of Monica Oltra, former vice president of the Consell, is kept behind closed doors in a room in the City of Justice of Valencia. This room, previously used for hearings by the Fourth Division of the Valencian County Court, is now cited in the case as the site of the former councilor’s inspector’s testimony. The Valencia Civil Court No. Fifteen, responsible for the management of the Ministry for Inclusive Policies which Oltra led at the time, saw her then-husband Luis Eduardo Ramírez Icardi sentenced to five years in prison for the sexual abuse of a minor under guardianship.
As the case unfolds, observers note the delicate intersections between political responsibility and judicial accountability. The proceedings highlight the roles played by ministry staff and the potential impact of communications within government channels on the handling of allegations, as well as the measures in place to protect minors involved in sensitive cases. The proceedings are followed closely by local communities and media outlets seeking clarity on the timeline and actions taken by those in leadership positions.
