“Spain endures tons of mud, the criminal mud of Sánchez and his government”, was Abascal’s last pithy sentence, and the intervention of the leader of Vox was also marked by the legal cases surrounding the Sánchez’s executive, and more particularly in his family environment. . “They used tragedy to cover the sewers of corruption. Yes, there is money and taxes for his brother, his wife and for his ministers and party colleagues”, the latter in reference to the statements of the commissioner of the Koldo case, Víctor de Aldama, who assured in court that several members of the PSOE leadership received envelopes containing the money from the plot.
