The besiez sánchez resists a bustle to resign

Seven years after he took office by expelling conservatives suffering from corruption from the government, Pedro Sanchez is fighting for his political life amid investigations into the alleged illegal gain in his socialist party (PSOE).

On June 12, The two -sided Prime Minister apologized to the Spaniards After the sound was collected by the civil guards investigators in public and it appears that it appears as the secretary of PSOE, Santos Cerdán, where he discussed the commissions paid by companies in exchange for public contracts.

Sánchez was not the same directly involved, but the socialist leader who has been in power promises to clean politics now face calls to resign from active opposition.

CERDán, which was the third party, resigned from PSOE and was seen as a member of Parliament. It is scheduled to appear before the Supreme Court on June 25. He confirms that he did not commit a crime and was not implicit in one.

The commission investigation is part of the continuous investigation that was already involved in Jose Luis Apalos, former PSOE secretary and Minister of Transport. A third person involved is Koldo García, a consultant to ábanos. Both men appeared with Cerdán in the recently exposed sound. The three say they did nothing wrong.

The investigation of ábanos, which started last year, was harmful to the government, but its exit from the cabinet and PSOE Post in 2021 put a distance between him and Sanchez. However, the effects of CERDán are more problematic.

Sanchez had defended him again and again in the face of allegations in the right -wing media in the recent months that was under investigation, and accused the Prime Minister until opposition to “dismantling honest people” when he was asked about the activities of Serdian last month.

The party minister, from the northern region of Navar, was close to the Prime Minister, and played an important role, for example, in negotiating the support of the Catalan nationalists to allow the formation of a new government in 2023.

Although recognition that “CERDán should not trust”, Sanchez insisted that he will see the legislative body, which is scheduled to end in 2027.

In a message to PSOE members, he apologized again, while he was doubled.

“There are many issues that affect the life of the majority – health care, housing, pensions, jobs, and combating climate change and defending equality – which deserve fighting.” “The challenges are not resolved with newspapers or death addresses.”

However, the opposition submitted the investigation as symptoms of a corrupt regime, pointing to other investigations that affect Sanchez and its circle.

The judge in the wife of Prime Minister Bigunia Gomez is achieving for potential commercial violations – his brother, David, is scheduled to be tried by the alleged influence in assuming a public position in the southwestern city of Badajuz. Meanwhile, the Prosecutor, Alvaro Garcia Ortez, is likely to face a trial to reveal secret details of tax displacement. All three deny that violations are committed.

Sanchez and his supporters threw these three affairs as part of a campaign organized by the Conservative People’s Party (PP), right -wing media, right -wing media and factions inside the judiciary. A number of judicial experts expressed their surprise at the enthusiasm in which investigations were held.

In a noisy parliamentary session this week, opposition deputies “Dimisión” (resignation) chanted in the Prime Minister, and Alberto Nunez Vigo, PP leader, accused him of “a wolf who led a corrupt package.”

Paku Kamas, head of public opinion in Spain, sees the polling company, Epsus, the resignation of Sanchez as a “political suicide” for his party, because he will surely lead to elections, allowing PP to form a government, and possibly support from Vox.

“The general trend at the present time is the important voters on the left, especially for the Socialist Party, and a huge mobilization of voters on the right, which benefit from discontent with the government,” Kamas said.

Even the socialist president of the Castilla-La Mancha, Emiliano Garcia Beige, warned that “there is no generous way to go out” for PSOE.

However, as long as Sanchez can maintain its fragile parliamentary majority of the left and nationalist parties together, there is little that the opposition cannot do to drop.

To achieve this purpose, the Prime Minister was trying to reassure these allies, and many who expressed their anger in the CERDán-Apalos scandal. Camas believes that persuading them to support the 2026 budget can be a way for Sánchez to buy some time.

However, such plans can be left in a state of thighs, and there was a lot of explosive detection to appear, as many in the Socialist Party are afraid.

Such fears will play on the mind of Sanchez as he heads to the NATO’s top in The Hague.

It is usually a guaranteed presence on the international stage, which will reach serious doubts about its future and under the pressures of confirmation to raise defensive spending to Spain.

Although his government promised to increase military spending to 2 % of economic production this year, it was resisting calls from the United States and NATO leadership to raise them more. Sanchez has now refused to accept the target of 5 % of GDP of military spending, Saying “It will not only be unreasonable but also inverse results.”
