The fight Sánchez resists the hustle and bustle of resignation

Seven years after taking office, Pedro Sánchez expelled corrupt conservatives from the government, fighting for his political life in an investigation into the alleged graft in his Socialist Party (PSOE).

June 12, Prime Minister in the face of ashes apologizes to Spanish After the audio collected by civil guard investigators was revealed, it appeared to be presented to PSOE secretary Santos Cerdán, discussing the commission paid by the company in exchange for a public contract.

Sanchez himself was not directly involved, but the socialist leaders in power now promised to clean up politics and are now facing a call for resignation, demanding that they quit.

Cerdán, the third party, has resigned from the PSOE and resigned from the resignation of the members of the parliament. He will appear in court on June 25. He insisted that he had never committed a crime and was not implicit.

The investigation into the committee is part of an ongoing investigation that has already involved former PSOE Secretary and Minister of Transport José Luis Ábalos. The third person involved Koldo García, the consultant of Ábalos. Both men appeared with Cerdán in the recently exposed audio. All three said they did nothing wrong.

An investigation into Ábalos started last year, causing damage to the government, but he withdrew from the cabinet, while PSOE secretary Post puts the distance between him and Sarenchis in 2021. However, the meaning of Sedan is even more problematic.

Sánchez has repeatedly defended him in the face of right-wing media claims as he is investigating in recent months, with the Prime Minister even accusing him of being asked last month about Cerdán’s activities last month, facing the claims of right-wing media, with the Prime Minister even accusing him of being opposed to “defamatory people” when asked last month.

The party secretary from the northern region of Navarra is a reputable person of the Prime Minister and plays a crucial role in negotiating support from Catalan nationalists, allowing a new government to be formed in 2023.

Despite admitting that he shouldn’t trust Seldan, Sanchez insists he will see the Legislature, which will end in 2027.

In a letter to the PSOE members, he apologized again, while doubling down.

“There are many problems that affect most people’s lives – health care, housing, pensions, jobs, fighting climate change and defending equality – worth fighting,” he wrote. “There are no challenges to solve with headlines or lynching.”

But the opposition has filed an investigation, a symptom of the corrupt regime, pointing to other probes that affect Sarenchis and his circle.

The judge has been investigating the possible commercial violations of the Prime Minister’s wife, Begoña Gómez – his musician brother David will be tried for allegedly serving in a public position in the southwestern city of Badajoz. Meanwhile, Attorney General Álvaro García Ortiz may also face trial for revealing confidential details of tax evasion machines. These three deny wrongdoing.

Sánchez and his supporters imposed these three matters as part of a campaign planned by the Conservative BJP (PP), far-right Vox, right-wing media and inside the judiciary. Many judicial experts were surprised by the enthusiasm for conducting investigations.

At a parliamentary meeting this week, opposition lawmakers chanted “Dimiso” (resignation) on Prime Minister Alberto Núñez Feijóo accused him of being “the wolf leading the corrupt backpack.”

Paco Camas, head of public opinion at the Spanish voting company IPSOS, believes Sánchez’s resignation was a “political suicide” of his party, as it almost certainly triggers the election, allowing PP to form a government with the support of Vox.

“The overall trend at the moment is a demobilized voter, especially for the Socialist Party, where the right-wing voters are mobilizing a lot, which is taking advantage of the dissatisfaction with the government,” Kamas said.

Even the socialist president Emiliano García-page of the Castilla-La Mancha region warned that PSOE “has no way out for dignity.”

But as long as Sanchez can put his fragile parliamentary majority left and nationalist parties together, the opposition will hardly do it.

To this end, the Prime Minister has been frantically trying to reassure these allies, and many are angry at the Seldan-ábalos scandal. Camas believes that convincing them to support the 2026 budget could be a way for Sanchez to buy it for a while.

Nevertheless, like many of the Socialist Party feared the Socialist Party, such plans could remain in the rags for more explosive revelations.

This concern will play a role in Sanchez’s mind when he heads to the NATO summit in The Hague.

Often, with a guaranteed presence on the international stage, he would seriously doubt his future and be under pressure to increase Spain’s defense spending.

Although his administration has pledged to increase military spending to 2% of economic output this year, it has been resisting calls from U.S. and NATO leaders to further improve that goal. Sánchez now refuses to accept the military spending target of 5% GDP, explain It is “not only unreasonable, but it can backfire”.
