Pedro Sanchez Today he faces his most dramatic day yet during his term, given the confluence of the various fronts surrounding his government.
This Thursday, the executive branch will once again suffer a resounding parliamentary defeat, when Congress reverses the course of budget stabilization introduced by Moncloa.
By not passing this preliminary and basic stage, the government will feel frustrated in its goal of approving the state’s general budget for next year. which would conclusively condemn the legislative power to the inability to govern.
In parallel, Jose Luis Abalos and Koldo Garcia They attend a hearing in the Supreme Court so that the investigating judge in the case decides whether to tighten precautionary measures against them. They are expected to be sent to temporary prison.
But the previous day wasn’t any more reassuring for the president either.
In the middle of a control session Jose Luis Abalos He dropped the bomb in Congress via his social networks: the interview between Sanchez and Arnaldo Otegi “existing”. And so the former minister believes it Koldo Garciawho also confirmed EL ESPAÑOL’s exclusivity (which the president called a “lie”) about the meeting between Sánchez and Santos Cerdan With Otegui to agree on the 2018 censorship proposal in a village in the Basque Country.
With this new support, Moncloa’s denial was now completely untenable. Hence, government sources continued to distort the testimony of who was, until a few years ago, Sánchez’s lieutenant, claiming that one becomes “unhinged.”When “they ask him for 24 years (in prison) and his age.”
But what interest could Abalos have in spreading such a lie in his circumstances? Why does Koldo make up an entire story about a small village and a secret meeting?
By persisting in denial, Moncloa only doubles the embarrassment. Because he is also unable to explain how the full story of Hamlet’s charter It fits into the subsequent sequence of events.
This circular presentation was enlarged by chance, on the same day of this revelation, to call as witnesses Santos Cerdán and Antonio Hernando By the coach ler case.
It is indescribable that the former Secretary of Regulation and Minister of State for Communications appears to clarify whether the recordings he made of the meetings held in Ferraz with the plumber in 2024 were made by Villarejo Where reference is made to the saunas run by Sanchez’s father-in-law. Audio recordings that, according to Dolst, Hernando would have tried to obtain to remove Sanchez from the primary race.
To end this He dies horriblyresearcher in Koldo case He agreed on Wednesday to ask the Socialist Workers Party to provide the court with a list of cash payments made between 2017 and 2024 and the documents that support them, to clarify whether these settlements that Sánchez admitted to receiving have legal justification.
In the face of this combination of adversity, The catalog of clumsy excuses and implausible excuses that Moncloa spreads The attempt to calm the scandals turns this government’s suffering into unprecedented absurdity. Another example of this is that Sanchez continues to declare the prosecutor innocent despite being found guilty of disclosing confidential data.
All of this attests to the fact that Sánchez was left without the resources to deal with the perfect storm that loomed at the end of his term.
