In the midst of the opposition’s political and judicial offensive on the “Koldo case”, the President of the Government reopened the long-term umbrella this Wednesday. “My commitment is that in 2027 Spain will be more prosperous and more united than the one you left in 2017. And you will not take me out of this path, no matter what insults you utter,” said Pedro Sánchez . Feijóo in the control session.
The opposition leader then barely used a few seconds of his time to question the president about businessman Víctor de Aldama, one of the alleged ringleaders of the corrupt “Koldo affair” plot. But knowing that Feijóo was saving all the bullets for his response, Sánchez decided to shoot first. “We are all equal before the law but not before corruption. What we are doing is acting with force and collaborating with justice, unlike what you did, by creating patriotic police forces.
“Collaborating with justice means filing two complaints against the judge who is investigating you,” replied the leader of the PP, who this time used his usual series of attacks against the executive to try to caricature a harassed president by corruption scandals the strategy of the popular. throughout this legislature. “You came as a champion against corruption and you find yourself with a code name in a corrupt network,” he told her.
“He knew everything for six years and he covered everything up,” Feijóo continued about the “Koldo case” and the situation of former minister Ábalos. “Leave now. His political agony will be a joke next to his judicial agony. You already have your political sentence. His resignation is textbook,” he continued.
But Sánchez had prepared his response just for this resignation request. “There are a thousand days left in the legislature and they are acting like there are ten days left. “Are we telling you that your time is limited?” he joked about the internal pressures of the PP and in a veiled reference to the power of Isabel Díaz Ayuso.
The president insisted on contrasting the behavior of his party with that of the People’s Party in cases of corruption. “Not all parties are the same. In the PSOE, whoever does it pays. In your country, when someone denounces corruption, they are thrown into the street, like Casado”, he recalled before adding: “Cover yourself a little, because from the A of Ayuso to the Z of Zaplana, they each have a corruption case. letter of the alphabet. »
