The Minister of Digital Transformation and Public Service, Oscar Lopezassures that he did not know the document containing the couple’s confidential data Isabel Diaz Ayuso. “I didn’t know this document,” said Pedro Sánchez’s former chief of staff at the entrance to the Seville exhibition center, where the 41st Federal Congress of the PSOE is being held. Reports that occur less than 24 hours later Juan Lobato ratify before the Supreme Court that Sánchez’s office disclosed the secret document against Ayuso. A statement that left Pilar Sánchez Acera and Óscar López on the verge of indictment.
“We are all talking about a message from a colleague when this information, as far as we know and I have consulted the archives of the newspaper, is found the day before in at least four media outlets that cite the literal document,” said the minister. for Digital Transformation, which evaded questions from journalists who pointed out that none of these media published the original document, which was the one that Sanchez Acera referred to Little. Despite the WhatsApp messages that point directly to Moncloa in the leak, López assured that he did not believe that Lobato’s statement and message could affect his former chief of staff.
However, the next steps after this statement would involve having Óscar López’s right-hand man testify, Sanchez Acera. At that moment, this high-ranking government official could say that he was his boss, Oscar Lopez who asked him to send the controversial material to the leader of the Madrid socialists or, on the contrary, to take full responsibility and serve as a “firewall” so that the consequences of this operation against Ayuso do not end up degenerating up to the former boss of Sánchez. staff or to the President of the Government himself.
If you choose the first option, you should keep in mind that Oscar Lopez He took the plunge to become Minister of Digital Transformation in September 2024, which is why he is currently sitting before the Supreme Court. But if the investigating judge ultimately indicts him, he would be added to the list which already includes Álvaro García Ortiz and Pilar Rodriguezprovincial prosecutor of Madrid. If we get to this level of the process, things get complicated for Sanchez: López was his chief of staff, so if he were indicted, doubts would increase about the level of knowledge of the president of the government about this offensive against Ayuso.
Replacement of the lion cub
Oscar Lopez avoided talking until Monday about a possible candidacy for the presidency of the Socialist Federation of Madrid after the resignation of the current leader of the PSOE-M Juan Lobatowhile he said he did not believe his statement before the Supreme Court could affect La Moncloa. This is how Óscar López spoke to journalists upon his arrival at the 41st Congress of the PSOE in Seville, questioned about his possible candidacy for the head of the Socialists of Madrid, although he insisted that this screen would open from this Monday, when the regional process begins to find a secretary general.
“But of course there is an objective, which I believe is a public service mission to regenerate political life in this country, which is to end this pit of corruption and dirty politics that has transformed Ayuso and the right in Madrid,” he added. Oscar Lopez.
