What is the nature of the evidence presented by Víctor de Aldama, and what are the minister's counterarguments?

De Aldama's evidence, an annex of the General State Budget, lacks probative value according to Puente, as it includes projects predating Ábalos's ministry, projects not tendered during his tenure, and projects not tendered at all. De Aldama claims the document, with annotations highlighting potentially pre-awarded projects, was provided by Ábalos's team and suggests commission payments were agreed upon by winning bidders. Puente's analysis challenges the presented evidence directly.
