Pedro Sánchez’s former chief of staff and current Minister for Digital Transformation and the Public Service, Óscar López, has denied that the PSOE has been illegally financed and has ruled out a resignation by Pedro Sánchez. In an interview in El món with RAC1, López described the PP’s complaint as “shameful” and assured that “they will not give any option to this unbridled strategy of the opposition.” “They are invaded by Vox’s theses and self-conscious about the extreme right,” he said.
The Popular Party has filed a complaint for illegal financing, influence peddling and bribery against the PSOE following the latest information published about the ‘Koldo Case’ by The Objective. The minister has been “convinced” of the falsity of the information published by this medium about the alleged illegal financing of the PSOE. Despite this, he wants “justice to clarify it and for whoever has to pay to pay.” “This is the difference with the PP,” he said. “What the PSOE will not do is destroy the evidence that a judge asks of it as the PP did.”
Asked about the financing of the PSOE, Minister López has flatly denied any irregularity: “I am not aware and I am agreed that there were no bribes.” The minister has also highlighted the contrast with the actions of the popular party: “When the PSOE learned of the case it acted forcefully and quickly. On the other hand, when things happen in the PP, we already know what happens.”
López has ruled out a possible motion of censure against the Government. “I believe that the PP is absolutely incapable of managing the political complexity of this country. They have been feeding Catalanophobia for years. The only partner they have is Vox, it is the extreme right.” The minister has assured that “There is no difference between the speeches of Abascal and Feijóo.”
The Government spokesperson, Pilar Alegría, has also spoken out, ensuring that unlike the popular ones, when faced with a “hint of a case of corruption” the socialists “act” with absolute forcefulness. “It is still very fresh in our memory how the PP acted in the face of its corruption cases: obstructing justice and hammering the hard drives of its computers,” Alegría said in an interview on Radio Cable. The spokesperson also highlighted how “curious” it is that the PP holds a “press conference talking about corruption” from “a headquarters that is paid for with black money.”
The Minister of Transport and Sustainable Mobility, Óscar Puente, has expressed himself along these lines, assuring that it is “scandalous” to see the general secretary of the PP, Cuca Gamarra, announcing a complaint for illegal financing at the PP headquarters on Génova Street. . ”The Popular Party does not have the moral authority to accuse anyone of illegal financing; “They have thirty cases of corruption open today,” the minister said at an informative breakfast this morning in Madrid. As Alegría has done, Puente has highlighted the “absolute forcefulness” with which the PSOE has acted when hearing about the case.
