Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez denied that he approved, knew about, or enabled the actions of Leire Díez, who is linked to the network under investigation surrounding the PSOE. The new information comes at the time of Pope Leo XIV's visit to Spain, which is set to last seven days and focus on migration and social justice. El Mundo ↗
The investigation into the alleged network around Díez and former PSOE organizational secretary Santos Cerdán remains the main source of pressure on Sánchez's government. Further mentions of the abbreviation "PS" are said to have appeared in the seized notebook, including a note about a meeting that, according to new information, was allegedly linked to Sánchez. The prime minister claims he did not know about Díez's activities, while the government also maintains its confidence in the leadership of the Guardia Civil. El Pais ↗
The case has also expanded to include meetings between Guardia Civil director Mercedes González and Leire Díez. González stated that she broke off contact after being asked to rehabilitate a commander involved in the Koldo case. Information has also emerged that the Supreme Court halted a plan against the UCO, and that the network under investigation was allegedly linked to the release of €112.8 million in aid for Tubos Reunidos. El Pais ↗
Political pressure on the PSOE continues. A critical platform within the party is demanding that Sánchez no longer stand as a candidate, while the PNV is for now postponing its demand for early elections, thereby giving the government some breathing room. Sánchez is meanwhile trying to project an image of continuing legislative work through preparation of the 2027 budget. In the broader background, investigations surrounding his family and actions linked to José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero also remain ongoing. svet.sme.sk ↗
