Isabel Pardo de Vera, former secretary of state for Transport and former president of Adif, has attempted but failed to prevent the Supreme Court's ruling in the 'masks case' from harming her reputation during a court hearing. The court ruled that she was directly involved in facilitating the hiring of Jessica Rodriguez, a former lover of former minister Jose Luis Zapatero, into two public companies under Transport, Ineco, and Tragsatec. Pardo de Vera claims the ruling violated her fundamental rights, including the right to effective judicial protection, presumption of innocence, and defense. Her lawyer sought to challenge the ruling through a nullity incident, arguing that the verdict's damaging statements could irreparably harm her in the proceedings. However, the court rejected these arguments, stating that Pardo de Vera was not a party to the case and that the statements were based on her testimony evaluated alongside other evidence.
