The socialist rules passed in record time “Disappointment” to “Anger”. The party was still digesting the upset caused by the latest UCO report – the report it refers to Santos Cerdan as a liaison between the government and Acciona In the alleged fraud of public works – when at the weekend the government received a new blow that changed its mood: Conviction of the State ProsecutorAlvaro Garcia Ortiz. Since then, many of the militants barely remember the first shock they buried “Discontent” Because of the Supreme Court’s decision, which they consider “unfair.” Ironically, some socialists believe this could work to their advantage, revitalizing the left around the concept Law warWhich has returned strongly to the vocabulary of extremism and government partners alike.
The week began with a massive setback for the government. The UCO report on Santos Cerdán has shaken the firewall that Moncloa put up to distance himself from the trio of Cerdán, José Luis Abalos and Koldo García. While Sánchez insisted on the “vigor” with which the government acted in the face of the first signs and limited himself to ensuring that he now had to allow justice to work, the socialist rules were disgusting. “It’s once again opening a wound that took a lot of work to close. There’s a lot of sadness.” The militants were injured..“Admits a Socialist MP, who believes that this report did not have the same impact as June, but it still constituted a “blow” to the party.
However, for these and other socialist voices, the mood of the rules changed radically on Thursday. It is something they acknowledge in secret and in public. Without going any further, the Minister of Digital Transformation and Public Function, Óscar López, acknowledged the “discontent” in the government and the government. “Preparing for combat and confrontation” To what is considered, in his opinion, an “unfair” and “without evidence” sentence. The anger flows from the top to the bottom of the socialist structure, and in it begins the idea that this is an opportunity to direct all this anger and that it represents A “turning point” for “mobilizing the left”.
They are aware that the corruption scandal continues and will continue this week, as Abalos and Koldo Garcia will be arraigned next Thursday in the Supreme Court with the possibility that the judge will send them to prison. However, in the party they consider it so “The militants are working on something else.” They even confirm that they had to ask for peace of mind from a part of him that requested action. “There are people who think that respecting the sentence is a good thing, but that is the case It has become dark brown in color“, they confirm.
They point to the reaction of Moncloa, who sent a message that she “respects” the ruling, but “does not share” it, while launching the process of replacing the prosecutor. In fact, the Minister of the Presidency, Felix Bolaños, elaborated on this letter, warning that “Disagreement with this ruling cannot lead to a general lack of confidence in institutions In addition, he emphasized that in a rule of law such as the Spanish one, there are “resources” to “resolve contradictions” through a judicial decision. That is, he asked for calm.
Reactions came not only from the Socialist Party, in which some, such as Patxi Lopez, spoke openly of “genuine shame,” but also from leftist partners, who did not hesitate to describe the ruling as “political,” attacking the Supreme Court’s decision. In fact, they talked openly about it “Judicial coup” or “judicialization of politics”he even requested action from the executive branch of Sanchez.
In Moncloa, they continue to defend the “innocence” of the prosecutor, but they try to show some caution: They bite their tongue and let everything simmer. In the meantime, they are waiting for the sentence to be written and published, paying attention to how to interpret a ruling that, as a powerful voice in Moncloa said a few days ago, would be “extremely difficult” to justify if it turns out to be a conviction.
What everyone can notice is that the feeling of the prosecutor’s guilt rises, while the feeling of corruption in the party decreases. Given the potential for this to have a fleeting impact, the PSOE asserts that… Anger can still have a wayEspecially since the trial of Pedro Sanchez’s brother, who was tried on charges of influence peddling and deception, and the trial of his wife Begonia Gomez, who was investigated for various crimes, such as embezzlement, commercial corruption, or professional interference, are still pending. of the party see them as parts of the same whole, under the name that appeared, precisely, in the investiture agreement with the Junts and which is also shared by its associates: “lawfare” or exploitation of justice.
