The temporary detention order issued by the Supreme Court, which, at the request of the Attorney General’s Office, arrested Koldo García and José Luis Abalos – the first deputy to enter a correctional center – raises the level of denial with which the government, led by its president, has tried to distance itself from those, like Santos Cerdán, who were part of the narrowest circle of power that Ferraz has deployed since 2018. The mayor of a town, not the commission agent who enriched him, nor the consultant suspected of fraud, but The man who carried out the operation that led Sánchez to regain command of Ferraz, and then implement the motion of censure that led to his installation at La Moncloa. Their relationship, like Koldo’s, was not a “anecdotal relationship” that could be erased overnight and through the practice of annulment. It is Sanchismo, in the first person, who enters the prison with Abalos as a means of understanding and applying power.
