The PSOE is already beginning to prepare its counter-offensive against the Popular Party. The “socialists” confirmed to LaSexta that their legal services are working to file a complaint for slander against the party led by Alberto Núñez Feijóo If finally the Central Court of Instruction number 5 of the National Court files the complaint filed by the “people” this Monday.
This request from the Popular Party is based on information published by the digital media “L’Objectif” according to which two anonymous witnesses claimed to have brought 90,000 euros in cash to the headquarters on Ferraz Street in Madrid. Popular sources assured that if the PSOE continues with this complaint, “we are waiting for them here” and “Let them put her on trial, they have a hand there”. “The only complaint that we know of that has been rejected in recent days is that of Begoña Gómez against Judge Peinado,” they noted.
A complaint which, in principle, will lead nowhere. The anti-corruption prosecution asked Judge Santiago Pedraz to reject the complaint presented by the Popular Party against the PSOE for “illegal financing”. According to the prosecutor’s office, there are no signs of a crime with the information available in the current proceedings.
The PP, satisfied with the complaint against the PSOE
However, the “popular” is satisfied with the impact of the complaint and does not exclude the possibility of extending it in the future. Feijóo himself said that even if the complaint was filed, it could still be reactivated if new information emerges. According to the leader of the PP, “the important thing when a complaint is filed It’s not how it starts, but how it ends“.
“We will see how this complaint ends, how this information ends and how these audios end. And we will see if the People’s Party has fulfilled its obligation by informing the public prosecutor,” he said.
“And I repeat, there are certain journalistic information that are initially archived because a prosecutor believes there is not enough information. And that are then reactivated when you or other actors prove that this information has been completed and supplemented so that the legal proceedings can therefore continue. we did what we thought we should do and I can assure you that the important thing is not how a legal action begins, but how it ends,” he added.
To close this file, he wanted to emphasize his “respect” for the criteria of the prosecution and stressed that this is “the difference” between the government of Pedro Sánchez and “a democratic party that believes in the rule of law”. “We must respect the decisions of the prosecutor’s office and the judicial bodies of our country and of course we respect them,” he concluded.
