Amid the scandal of the leak against Isabel Díaz Ayuso and the multiple cases of corruption surrounding the party and the government –Koldo case, Begoña Gómez case and David Sánchez case-, he PSOE boasts of being “a world reference” of social democracy.
“We are a social democratic reference throughout the world. The mirror in which other progressive political organizations can project themselves”, proclaimed number 3 of the PSOE, Santos Cerdanduring the opening of the 41st Federal Congress of Socialists, which is being held this weekend in Seville. A statement to boost the morale of an activism which, in recent days, has seen how the scandals surrounding the PSOE have continued to grow: Victor de Aldama -commissioner of the Koldo Field-pointing directly to certain members of Ferraz in the collection of commissions Juan Lobato confirming in the Supreme Court that Sánchez’s office leaked the secret document against Isabel Díaz Ayuso’s boyfriend.
The masters of ceremonies responsible for giving the starting signal to this socialist conclave were Maria Jesus Montero And Santos Cerdan. The Minister of Finance fired the artillery against Ayuso, whom she described as “truly responsible” for this matter, completely minimizing the accusation of the State Attorney General, Álvaro García Ortiz. A maneuver with which the socialists want to avoid focusing on the declaration of Juan Lobato at the Supreme Court, where the Madrid socialist confirmed the judge who received the secret information about the friend of the Madrid president via WhatsApp Pilar Sánchez AceraChief of Staff of the Chief of Staff of the President of the Government, Pedro Sanchez.
The declaration of Little This is not the only front open for the socialists. Victor de Aldama He assured last Thursday before the judge of the National Court, Ismael Moreno, that the photograph in which he appears with Sánchez during a rally, on February 3, 2019 – during the presentation of the candidacy of Pepu Hernández in the PSOE primaries for Madrid City Hall – “it was not accidental”. “They forced me to go to the PSOE event because Sánchez wanted to meet me,” he revealed. According to Aldama’s statements, the image was captured “in a reserved location.” “The president told me thank you for what you do, keep me informed“, he assured.
La Moncloa also lives in uncertainty about the future of the Begoña Gómez case. This Tuesday, the defense of the wife of the President of the Government was handed over to the judge Juan Carlos Peinado several emails which show that Cristina Alvarezdirector of programs of the General Secretariat of the Presidency, served as his personal assistant in his relations with the Complutense University of Madrid (UCM). An error that represents de facto the self-incrimination of the wife of Pedro Sánchez in the use of a public position in Moncloa for her private professional activities.
It should be remembered that Gómez is accused of influence peddling, commercial corruption, embezzlement and trespass.
Finally, the Instruction Court number 3 of Badajoz decided to call to testify as accused David Sanchezbrother of the leader of the PSOE and director of the Performing Arts Office of the Provincial Delegation of Badajoz. The judge is investigating the circumstances under which Sánchez was elected to the position in 2017, as well as various tax matters. The brother of the president of the government resides in Portugal, although he works in Badajoz. The charges also denounce the fact that Sánchez does not appear in person at his workplace.
