“The Sánchez government is exploding into thin air. ‘Sanchism’ is being dismantled in front of all of Spain. Live, live and in real time.” This is how the Secretary General of the PP, Miguel Tellado, assessed the latest information on the cases of corruption that affect the government and its majority party, the PSOE. The “number two” of the first opposition party has once again called for elections. “Nothing could have happened without him. At least he knew everything,” he said, calling for general elections now.
This Wednesday, the Civil Guard arrested by order of the National Court Leire Díez, the former PSOE activist indicted for allegedly maneuvering against the Prosecutor’s Office and the state security forces and agencies. But Vicente Fernández, who was the first president of SEPI with Pedro Sánchez in Moncloa, was also arrested in the same operation, the result of an investigation that remains secret.
The chain of arrests continued this Thursday with businessman Antxón Alonso, Santos Cerdán’s theoretical partner in the company Servinabar, which according to the UCO was used to collect illegal commissions in exchange for public works.
Tellado has compiled the “scandals” of recent days. From the conviction of the former Attorney General, Álvaro García Ortiz, which he called an “unprecedented global scandal”, to the alleged “pressure” within the UCM “to create a chair for Sánchez’s wife”, Begoña Gómez, to the concealment of internal complaints against Paco Salazar for sexual harassment or the opening of an oral trial against José Luis Ábalos and Koldo García.
Added to this chain are “Plus Ultra registration” and Forestalia, a company that Tellado linked to PSOE leader Susana Sumelzo.
“The entire Sánchez government is under suspicion. There is not a day without scandal,” said Tellado, who wanted to focus this Thursday on the first vice-president and future candidate of the PSOE in Andalusia, María Jesús Montero, whose “situation is now beginning to be completely untenable.”
“His great protégé, whom he placed at SEPI, is another charge attached to Montero who falls for corruption,” assured Tellado. “He is facing Santos Cerdán,” he added, referring to the investigation opened against the former organizational secretary of the PSOE.
“Let him leave now, as soon as possible,” demanded Tellado, who assured: “He has lived in corruption for more than 20 years, first with the ERE and now with Sánchez.”
But Tellado not only called for Montero’s resignation, but also for general elections to be held. “Sanchez himself must go, because without him none of these corruption cases would have been possible,” Tellado said. “He has to go because he is ‘number one’,” he said.
At the end of November, the leader of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, predicted that Pedro Sánchez would also end up in prison, something that Isabel Díaz Ayuso’s chief of staff has maintained for months.
“His government and his party are collapsing,” said Tellado, who said of the government that “they came to plunder Spain,” with Sánchez at its head: “Nothing could have happened without him. At least he knew everything. We demand political responsibility.”
