Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez is facing growing political pressure after the Civil Guard entered the Madrid headquarters of the ruling Socialist party PSOE in connection with the investigation into former party member Leire Díez. At the same time, proceedings concerning former Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero continue, a case that is shaking the Socialist government. teraz.sk ↗
Zapatero had already found himself at the center of a legal crisis over suspicions of influence peddling through companies and contacts with officials at the Moncloa. According to information available so far, he allegedly received high fees via the consulting firm Análisis Relevante for texts on artificial intelligence and participation in webinars. Investigators have also requested that the proceedings be extended to his daughters. denikn.cz ↗
The new developments have also affected the prime minister's wider circle. Sánchez's brother, David Sánchez Pérez-Castejón, appeared before court, where he faces corruption charges. Madrid's audit chamber will also review contracts worth 123,000 euros related to the department led by Begoña Gómez, the prime minister's wife, at Complutense University. Her lawyer has requested a postponement of the questioning scheduled for June 9. teraz.sk ↗
After the case file was published, Sánchez reiterated his support for Zapatero and rejected calls for early elections. He maintains that the government will cooperate with the judiciary. However, the opposition is demanding a vote of confidence and further protests. Junts and the PNV have also added to the pressure, calling on the prime minister to call elections, although Junts refuses to support a motion of no confidence together with the right. Spiegel.de ↗
