Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez is attempting to revive his political initiative by announcing that the government will submit a draft state budget for 2027. This move comes at a time when the PSOE is facing renewed pressure over the investigation into an alleged network surrounding Leire Díez and Santos Cerdán. El Pais ↗
According to new information, the Guardia Civil states in its findings that the designation "el one," which reportedly appeared in the communications of those under investigation, can only refer to Pedro Sánchez. The PSOE is trying to confine the case to Cerdán and Díez, describing it as the actions of people who allegedly used the party's name without authorization. The file also describes a series of 22 meetings and the involvement of a person linked to Moncloa. El Mundo ↗
The investigation has also expanded to other figures within the socialist milieu. The UCO seized nearly 20,000 euros at the home of Gaspar Zarrías, who is under investigation for alleged involvement in the network. The former head of the UCO reportedly testified that he had been instructed to stay away from investigations, including the case involving Sánchez's brother, David Sánchez. In the meantime, David Sánchez was acquitted on one count of the indictment, as the court ruled the act had exceeded the statute of limitations. teraz.sk ↗
Previous pressure on the government persists. Proceedings linked to former Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero also continue, along with scrutiny of contracts related to Begoña Gómez and criticism from the opposition. Some PSOE members and former officials are demanding an extraordinary congress and early elections. However, Sánchez rejects the conclusion that his government has come to an end, and is using the budget to signal his intention to complete the legislative term. El Pais ↗
