The PP has called this Sunday for the resignation of the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, and has announced that his party will tomorrow present a complaint against the PSOE for “illegal financing, bribery and influence peddling” in Court number 5 of the National Court. “We are going to file a complaint so that an unprecedented scandal is investigated to the end,” said the party’s general secretary, Cuca Gamarra.
The popular ones denounce the PSOE for this alleged illegal financing after the latest news of the various alleged corruption or influence peddling plots that have surrounded Sánchez’s Executive and his family for a few months, including Judge Peinado’s investigation against his wife, Begoña. Gómez, as well as the latest developments in the ‘Koldo’ case, which bring closer the indictment of José Luis Ábalos. “He is the true link between all open corruption investigations,” said the popular secretary in a press conference held at the end of the urgent meeting of her party’s editorial committee.
The PP thus accuses the PSOE of benefiting from this alleged corrupt network of the ‘Koldo’ case. Gamarra has made mention of alleged amounts of cash loaded “in bags” and delivered to Ferraz’s headquarters, echoing a publication in the newspaper The Objective, which has been, in Gamarra’s words, the final impetus for the presentation of the complaint.
“There is no room for firewalls, because if we connect all the dots of all the corruption scandals that we are learning about, what literally comes out is the face of Pedro Sánchez. Their situation is unsustainable and would have caused the fall of the entire Government in any other democracy,” Gamarra stated. “For all these reasons, the steering committee of the Popular Party meeting this morning asks Pedro Sánchez to resign.”
“Feijóo does not have the moral authority to demand explanations from anyone”
The PSOE has responded to the Popular Party’s announcement and has described the performance as “overreacted.” “Feijóo does not have the moral authority in this country to demand explanations from anyone. It is an anomaly in Europe that someone with a drug trafficker friend has aspired to preside over a government,” said the spokesperson for the Federal Executive of the PSOE, Esther Peña. “There are 30 cases left open to the Popular Party, 30 trials where I hope we can finally discover who M. Rajoy was. From the Socialist Party we do not lose hope.”
Peña recalled that, after the arrest of Koldo García, his party “took only five days to suspend José Luis Ábalos from membership and open an expulsion file for him from the party.” “When the PP acts in this way against corruption, it will be able to teach lessons,” he added in a note collected by EFE.
This Friday, the Civil Guard delivered to the National Court a report that attributes to Ábalos, former Minister of Transport and Secretary of Organization of the PSOE, a “relevant and responsible role” in the mask sales plot during the pandemic. It was the first time that the UCO identified Ábalos as a direct beneficiary.
The PSOE has defended itself in recent days, after the UCO reports have placed former minister Ábalos on the brink of accusation, that it has already acted “forcefully” with him. Sánchez himself stated it this way on Friday from Rome: “Absolute forcefulness in any hint of a case of corruption that may have unfortunately occurred in my Government and absolute collaboration with Justice and the State security forces.” And he added that his is “a clean Government, which has nothing to do with these lacks of exemplarity and bordering on corruption.”
Among some of those cases investigated by the Justice Department that the PP has listed this morning to argue the complaint is also that of the president’s brother, David Sánchez, who works for the Badajoz Provincial Council and was denounced by the pseudo-union Clean Hands for the crimes. of “embezzlement, prevarication and influence peddling.” A study commission was opened that ended last June, despite the fact that the PP did not accept it. The Badajoz Provincial Council concluded that the hiring of Sánchez had been carried out with “transparency, publicity and respect for the regulations.”
“For the PP, corruption only exists when it comes to spreading hoaxes,” said the first vice president and Minister of Finance, María Jesús Montero, in September.
The PP insists, however, that the face of the President of the Government is that of a corrupt person: “We are talking about a widespread scandal due to his closest environment, the clan of the primaries that took him to the General Secretariat of the PSOE and from there they came to the Government of Spain. We are talking about a scandal that affects his closest environment, his own family, the Begoña Gómez case and the David Sánchez case. We are talking about the fact that he himself has an alias within this entire corruption plot.” “We are therefore facing authentic highways of socialist corruption,” Gamarra assured. The popular ones have not yet spoken of any social call on the street at the moment.
