The president of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, has formally requested this Wednesday in Congress the resignation of the head of the Executive, Pedro Sánchez, asserting that the reasoned exposition from the judge of the National Court confirms that he was ‘the number one of the corrupt plot.’ In his view, they cannot get used to ‘living in this situation of decay of the Presidency of the Government.’
‘I come to formally request the resignation of the president of the Government. He is number one in decline and zero in public service for our country,’ he declared during a statement in Congress, where he emphasized that this resignation is ‘founded, reasoned, motivated, and weighed.’
The leader of the opposition began his statement by saying it has been ‘a terrible day’ for Pedro Sánchez ‘from a judicial and political point of view’ and ‘also a day to forget in Spanish democracy.’
‘Justice has dismissed another complaint, making it three now. In this case, it was the wife of the president of the Government against the judge who is investigating her. Additionally, justice, through a judge from the National Court, has asked the Supreme Court to investigate the number two of PSOE for a long time and a former minister of Sánchez,’ he recounted, referring to José Luis Ábalos.
Feijóo has stated that Sánchez is ‘hiding’ and is not providing explanations despite the fact that ‘the plot’ was ‘rooted in the deepest parts of Moncloa and the deepest parts of his party,’ after the judge requested on Wednesday that Ábalos be investigated for his ‘main role’ in the ‘Koldo case.’ ‘There is no possible firewall. Without Ábalos, Sánchez would not exist. Sánchez is surrounded by corruption in his environment, in his Government, and in his party. Sánchez is number one of the corrupt plot,’ Feijóo asserted, emphasizing that ‘it is impossible for everything to have happened without the knowledge of number one.’
For this reason, he has once again demanded explanations from Sánchez and challenged him to reveal how many times he met with businessman Víctor Aldama, why he dismissed his number two in both the party and the Government, what is on the USB drives that the Executive is so interested in, or why he continues to support the Attorney General. ‘There are thousands of questions and zero answers,’ he denounced. Feijóo highlighted that the situation Spain is experiencing ‘has no precedent in Spanish democracy’ and warned that, given the information being revealed each day, ‘this will escalate.’
