Pedro Sánchez He appeared on Monday, after five hours of socialist executive, with an attitude very different from last Thursday, as soon as the UCO report that involves the resigned Santos Cerdán, Until then secretary of the party organization, in a plot for the collection of bites in which he also participated José Luis Ábalos, His predecessor in the party and former transport minister. Faced with the low tone and the face of circumstances four days ago, this time it distilled the virtue of the one that has shown the most since its agitated political career began: the endurance. Fundamentally, he admitted, because if he yields and calls the Spaniards now, the result would be that of a majority in Congress formed by The PP and Vox.
So There will be no elections General General, insisted the president of the Government and socialist leader, although the idea that the legislature must terminate before May 2027 to not “contaminate” the regional and municipal elections is extended in the territories. Neither does he plan to undergo a Trust, Another idea that has been released these days by its collaborators, including several of the hard core located in La Moncloa, or undertake a Government crisis to relieve some members of the Council of Ministers. The changes, he explained, are reduced to the party, with an interim team that will be in charge of the organization's work, a “restructuring” thoroughly of the dome, the expulsion from Ábalos of the PSOE (precisely this Monday, after almost 16 months of instruction of the file) and an already known External audit to clear irregular financing suspicions.
Why your trust in Cerdán
“I'm very calm,” Sanchez said about the possibility of plot audios that can imply it directly, something that would increase the pressure to resign, as the PP insistently asks, even hardly bearable limits. But the great fear that grips the government and the PSOE is that new revelations arise. Above all, that Ábalos and Koldo García, His right hand, also charged with his implication in the corrupt plot, have even more compromising recordings and messages and air. Even Cerdán himself, whom now the socialists who have treated him during all these years define how “A psychopath.”
If Sanchez trusted the former Secretary of Organization, despite the fact that for months numerous means, including this one, they alerted their alleged dirty rags, it was because about the PSOE in general and on him in particular they rain every day all kinds of all kinds of “Attacks” without any foundation. “Personally, I am suffering attacks by ultra -right organizations In judicial causes that do not obey any truth, ”said Sánchez, in reference to judicial processes to his wife and brother, both imputed.“ How do I face rumors if that is also what I am suffering? When I have known the facts it has been when the time has come to act. The case of corruption has not yet been judged and sentenced. And yet the PSOE has made decisions. This does not do any organization, ”he settled, defining the PSOE as a “Clean organization.” To prove it beyond the courts, he announced that the party will ask for a Investigation Commission On the so -called 'Koldo Case', which will be the reverse that already exists in the Senate, absolutely controlled by the absolute majority of the PP in that camera.
The argument to not advance
But the chief of the Executive, who will meet with his parliamentary allies (starting this afternoon for adding, a member of the coalition, with an encounter at the Moncloa Palace with the vice president Yolanda Díaz) acknowledged that right now He has lost the social majority. All their arguments not to call short -term elections had to do with the idea that, if you take the step, “the right and the ultra -right” will undoubtedly reach the government. “The elections are every four. Thus will continue to be. We are not going to break the stability of Spain, which lives in one of his best moments, To put the country in the hands of the worst opposition, ”said the socialist leader, who will appear next month at Congress at his own request to account for the scandal, after the majority of the congress has asked to take the step and have no choice but to do it.
“Deliver him The reins of the country To a coalition of the PP and Vox, which promotes a reactionary agenda, which have open 30 cases of corruption and have been fined by irregular financing, it would be a tremendous irresponsibility, ”insisted Sánchez, who also challenged critics in the PSOE, which these days reproduce in the heat of the corruption case that hits the epicenter of the party, to express their reproaches “In internal organisms.” In the executive, where his faithful predominate, there have barely have them. After more than 20 word requests, everyone has agreed on the convenience of resisting two more years without choices. No one, according to sources present at the meeting, requested an advance of the generals or a Extraordinary Congress To relieve it as secretary.
The change in attitude
A narrow collaborator of Sánchez explained later that he noticed that the attitude of the president was completely different As soon as you see it early on Monday morning, before the executive. During the meeting, the president asked those present, almost 50, to say what they thought and that he assumed responsibility for what had happened in the first person. “My duty as Captain is Take the helm, get this storm. My duty is also to protect the progressive coalition government, ”he concluded during the press conference, in a speech that he himself, they explain in his environment, was responsible for profiling in front of the computer when the meeting ended. Sánchez again resists. His faithful believe that he will reward once again, but nobody, right now, He gives it for sure.
