Eduardo Gonz\u00e1lez<\/strong><\/h6>\n

The Association of Spanish Diplomats (ADE) has asked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to inform it about the inspection opened three months ago in relation to the alleged irregularities in the use of public funds by the Spanish ambassador to India, Juan Antonio March Pujol.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Several media outlets have accused March of alleged irregularities in the use of public funds related to the supposed carrying out of cultural activities without the proper authorization from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the alleged financing of events organized by private companies without mandatory oversight, and the improper use of his diplomatic passport for family members for purposes other than official duties.<\/p>\n

Juan Antonio March was appointed Spanish ambassador to India in June 2024 by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Jos\u00e9 Manuel Albares, replacing Jos\u00e9 Mar\u00eda Ridao. At the time of his appointment, March had been out of the diplomatic service for more than twelve years.<\/p>\n

It so happens that, since Ridao requested to leave his post in December 2023, the government had to wait five months for Indian authorities to grant their agr\u00e9ment to March (at the end of May 2024), an unusually long period between two countries that have no bilateral disputes. Sources consulted by The Diplomat<\/em> attributed this delay to the desire of Narendra Modi’s government to express, in some way, its disagreement with March’s appointment.<\/p>\n

Juan Antonio March is considered a close associate of former Prime Minister Jos\u00e9 Luis Rodr\u00edguez Zapatero and former Foreign Minister Miguel \u00c1ngel Moratinos, who reportedly inquired with Indian authorities about the delay in granting the agr\u00e9ment.<\/p>\n

Last February, the UGT union representatives at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs requested the \u201cimmediate dismissal\u201d of Juan Antonio March Pujol because, they warned, the situation at the Embassy in India had reached \u201ca point of no return\u201d and, therefore, his continued presence could represent a \u201cserious institutional deterioration\u201d for the State Foreign Service.<\/p>\n

The UGT’s request, according to a statement, was based on \u201cinformation published in the press, internal complaints, and numerous complaints received directly\u201d regarding alleged \u201corders to destroy official documents and erase the contents of the Embassy’s computers in order to eliminate traces of management,\u201d to the detriment of \u201cany minimum standard of legality, transparency, and administrative accountability.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to a letter sent on May 14 to the Undersecretary of Foreign Affairs, EU and Cooperation, Xavier Mart\u00ed, the president of the ADE, Alberto Virella, recalls that on April 19, the association requested \u201ca comprehensive, rigorous, and thorough inspection of the Spanish Embassy in India, following the worrying reports published in various media outlets,\u201d and that he himself has had \u201cexchanges of messages and conversations on the matter with the Ambassador Inspector General of Services.\u201d<\/p>\n

Therefore, Virella asks Mart\u00ed whether \u201cthe inspection initiated by this Ministry approximately three months ago has concluded or is still underway,\u201d and, if it has concluded, whether \u201cthe conclusions\u201d can be made public. \u201cWe are also struck by and concerned that, especially if the inspection has been completed, not all the officials of the embassy have been interviewed and that no inspector has traveled to the Indian capital,\u201d he continues.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll of this, if not refuted, compels the ADE Board of Directors and any observer to conclude that the Ministry has not risen to the occasion and has not even pretended to have carried out a rigorous and professional inspection,\u201d the association warns. \u201cThis type of action damages the Ministry\u2019s image and conveys to its public employees that their institution does not heed reports of improper or illegal conduct within the General State Administration,\u201d it concludes.<\/p>\n

ONUART<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Juan Antonio March was previously stationed in Geneva, where he simultaneously served as Spain’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations and Ambassador to the World Trade Organization (WTO), both between 2004 and 2007. In his role as Permanent Representative to the United Nations, March, with the support of the then Minister of Foreign Affairs, Miguel \u00c1ngel Moratinos, offered to the United Nations authorities that Spain undertake the renovation of Room XX at the UN Palace of Nations in that Swiss city, later renamed the Human Rights Room.<\/p>\n

In this endeavor, the ambassador was therefore the principal architect of the construction of the dome by the Spanish painter Miquel Barcel\u00f3 in the aforementioned room. According to his proposal, the Spanish State would cover 30 percent of the cost of the work, with the remainder coming from private contributions.<\/p>\n

After accepting the offer, the Spanish government budgeted \u20ac16.6 million for the commission to the painter Miquel Barcel\u00f3, although the final cost exceeded \u20ac20 million. The construction of the dome was surrounded by controversy, partly because \u20ac500,000 from the Development Aid Fund (FAD) was allocated to it, something the government attempted to justify by stating that the project aimed to promote human rights and multilateralism.<\/p>\n

In 2017, the then-president of the Court of Auditors, Ram\u00f3n \u00c1lvarez de Miranda, denounced irregularities in the State’s contribution to the dome project before the Congress of Deputies, specifically regarding the fiscal years 2007 to 2011. He indicated that “the planned contribution of five million euros in 2008 ultimately rose to 11.5 million due to increased costs and the failure of private entities to meet funding projections,” and that the State had to assume a much larger percentage of the cost due to the lack of private contributions.<\/p>\n

The Barcel\u00f3 Dome was inaugurated on November 18, 2008, almost a year behind schedule, in the presence of King Juan Carlos and Queen Sof\u00eda, Prime Minister Jos\u00e9 Luis Rodr\u00edguez Zapatero, then-UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, and then-Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdo\u011fan, with whom the Spanish Prime Minister was promoting the Alliance of Civilizations.<\/p>\n

Juan Antonio March was present at the event as vice president of the ONUART Foundation, a position he held concurrently with that of Spanish ambassador to Russia, a post he held from December 2007 until the PP came to power in December 2011. Since then, he had dedicated himself to the ONUART Foundation, where he served as president until last February, when he was replaced by Jos\u00e9 Luis Bonet, president of the Spanish Chamber of Commerce and Industry.<\/p>\n
