As you usually do Pedro Sánchez He used his appearance on Thursday after the UCO report on Santos Cerdán To become the victim and to avoid their responsibilities.
With an impossible air, he forgiven the citizens that he trusted in Cerdán. And he has justified that the government and the PSOE continue to defend him so far (even put his hand in the fire for him, as he did María Jesús Montero) claim that “Until this morning he was convinced of (his) integrity.”
Sánchez has said that he took on his “triple responsibility”, but has already limited it to the termination of Cerdán an external audit assignment on the financing of the PSOE.
But one means that he confuses his responsibility with that of the Cerdán himself, and the other is a toast on the sun, because no party records his illegal financing in official accounting.
Cesarlo as an organization -Secretary was the minimum he could do After the devastating report of the civil protection that has been presenting so far number three of the party as coordinator of a “criminal organization” who has worked in the PSOE umbrella for ten years.
In addition to many other elements, the report collects that Cerdán Beten would have distributed many thousands of euros José Luis ábalos And Koldo García. And that he would have coordinated Amaños with them, initially in Navarra and later in the rest of Spain, with the complicity of high positions of the then Ministry of Development.
He even attributes to having ordered fraudulent voices in the PSOE statements in 2014. And it is not possible to disappoint the importance of this intervention because they are two votes, which is as claiming that the more than 600,000 euros that according to the Uco “Cerdán are managed” are a thorough conception.
It is a stigma that assumes that much more can be manipulated. That election process deserves an audit
All these findings are not conclusions from an analysis or product of a suspicionAs the government says about the car of the judge Hurtado
It is a conscientious and extensive police report, mainly based on the audio and messages exchanged by the members of the plot.
And what follows from the table that reconstructing this evidence “consistent signs” of committing bribery crimes and criminal organization are that the judge who investigates the procedure for ábalos attributes to Cerdán.
But this report must also take on one before and after in the Spanish political life.
The position of the president is not sustainable. It is no longer possible that Sánchez can protect from the scandal.
Because if someone cheats on his first secretary of the organization, this can be the fault of that Truhán. But if he also misleads the second, the mistake is who she chose.
That is why this case cannot be left with the mere purification of Cerdán. Responsibility When choosing And when monitoring Sánchez is indisputable.
Sanchez has no choice but to resign as general secretary of the PSOE and as President of the Government. And it’s better for him to do it as quickly as possible. Because the more it entrusts, the obscene the desperate operation that the orchestling is, will be made to disconnect from the demolition of its environment.
He must resign as leader of the PSOE, because he has put his confidence, and has kept at the head of the party for almost all his decade, two secretaries of organization wrapped in the same plot of corruption.
Especially when Sánchez the government of Mariano Rajoy For a similar plot.
The UCO points out that Cerdán was the authentic brain of the plot and that Koldo was really the man of Cerdán who acted as a link with ábalos. They formed the call Peugeot That surprised Sánchez in power.
But it must also resign as government chairman. To allow a network of fraudulent prices of public works and other contracts such as those of the masks. In addition to a whole panophy of corruption cases of which the most important effect was ultimately to abolish the treasury for certain purposes.
Everything indicates that the president reportedly knew in 2021 that ábalos was not a clean wheat, and despite the fact that he rehabilitated him in 2023. The UCO report also suggests that he received the message about the situation of Koldo three months before his arrest. So I should be aware of all the illegal activities of ábalos.
And if this was not true, his ignorance would be flagrant because the media did not have to find out.
Moreover, as Feijóo emphasized this Thursday, public work contracts are not awarded (and therefore not to manipulate) of the PSOE headquarters, but in the administration. Santos Cerdan was not in charge of her, so she had to have the complicity of an entire network within the ministries.
And Sanchez must resign from both positions because at least they have tolerated the creation of a plot dirty war Parallel to the party to list police, judges and journalists.
In this slander campaign of those who consider their political opponents, Sanchez has a direct responsibility. Because it was he who led the offensive against the “mud machine” after the Five days of reflection From just over a year ago.
The debate has been focusing on the necessity of Sánchez for a while to convene elections, as an exit to the political paralyzing that the country experiences for its parliamentary minority and the inability to approve the budgets. Even if a way of accountability for having election promises betrayed, such as that I would not grant the amnesty.
But the debate is not now, but if Sanchez can continue at the head of the government and the PSOE, after a report that disqualifies him from an ethical point of view
The robust indications that he knew that much of the conspiracy forces him not to promote the elections, but to resign.
And not on the basis of any political calculation. As this newspaper remembered, it would be the most useful for the government’s change that Sánchez continued to resist and continued to open.
But ethical considerations are prior to an election cabal. Sanchez must resign, regardless of whether those elections are held or not That has resisted again until 2027.
To re -confirm himself in his stubbornness to exhaust the legislative power, he has argued that “this is not from me or the PSOE, it is a political project that does good things for our country.”
The question is that Sanchez has become a rowing for that project. And that is why he has the opportunity to leave and allow his party to regenerate in the two years of the legislative power.
The PSOE can always choose a new leader and propose a new candidate for the investment that is not stained. If not, it is clear that the most important is in fact Sanchez, and not the project.
What happens is that, simply, neither the Spaniards nor the decent socialists (who are the majority) deserve that at the head of the government’s presidency and the general secretariat of the PSOE, someone who has surrounded themselves from these employees, and that He has allowed his serious crimination by active or passive.
