Pino, a veterinarian by training and a recognized figure in the Avila agricultural sector, accessed the postgraduate course in Agronomic Engineering at the Catholic University of Ávila (UCAL) despite the fact that, according to the institution, “graduates in Veterinary Medicine will not have access.” This master’s degree, which usually lasts two years, was approved by Pino in one, just before a call for public positions, which allowed him to take an opposition and later become a State official. The counselor, asked by EL PAÍS, has sent his resume and training path, but does not explain why he entered that master’s degree even though the regulations prevent it.
