Feijóo formally requests Sánchez’s resignation, ‘the number one of the corrupt plot,’ in light of ‘situation of decay’ surrounding Government

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…

Pedro Sánchez’s wife to appear in court today, under investigation for corruption and influence peddling while European Public Prosecutor’s Office also investigates

The judge has summoned Begoña Gómez, under investigation for corruption in the private sector and influence peddling (she wrote letters of recommendation for her partners’ companies to win public tenders) and the news, expected, has unleashed a political storm five days before the European elections. The PP has called for the resignation of the prime minister, who has responded with a new “letter to the citizens”: “What they did not…

Sánchez does not explain wife’s business dealings while threatening judges and critical press with “cleansing” and “democratic regeneration”: “We will show the world how democracy is defended”

The Spanish press that remains critical of the government is unanimous: “a farce”, “a grotesque”, “a joke”… But no one is fooled. When Pedro Sánchez refuses to explain his wife’s business dealings and says that these five days mark “a turning point”, speaks of “cleanliness, of “democratic regeneration” and that “we will show the world how democracy is defended”, he means that he is tired of seeking an agreement with…

Pedro Sánchez continues… white is black

Unusual: Pedro Sánchez continues… The PSOE denies the evidence and backs Pedro Sánchez, who, surrounded by corruption, speaks of “harassment” and lashes out against the right, the ultra-right, the judges, the press… On the same day that a judge opened proceedings to find out whether the president’s wife had committed a criminal offence (an opening of proceedings that, in another unprecedented decision, has been appealed by the Public Prosecutor’s Office,…

Sánchez loves Gómez… and threatens to resign on the day a judicial investigation into his wife’s shady business dealings is opened

Yesterday morning, a judge opened an investigation into the shady business dealings of Begoña Gómez, the wife of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, which we have already reported on in The Corner: “Something fishy in La Moncloa: Pedro Sánchez’s wife recommended two companies in a public tender for a €7-million contract” And in the afternoon, in a letter posted on his social networks, the president of the government announced that he…

Something fishy in La Moncloa: Pedro Sánchez’s wife recommended two companies in a public tender for a €7-million contract

And one of the recommended shareholders is the creator of the master’s degree that the president’s wife now directs. Incredible but true: Begoña Gómez signed a letter to help two private companies to get a Government award in 2020, during the pandemic. The wife of the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, expressed her support for a Temporary Joint Venture (UTE) that submitted a €7.7-million tender from the Ministry of…

“A disastrous night for Sánchez”

This is how the pro-Sánchez daily El País summed up the debate that took place yesterday, at 10pm, between President Sánchez and the leader of the PP, Nuñez Feijóo, who is several points ahead of the PSOE leader in all the polls. And yesterday’s debate is not going to change the trend. A nervous, unfocused Sánchez refused to sign the proposal made by the leader of the PP for the…

PP hands PSOE Barcelona mayoralty: “the trenches and blocs are over” says Nuñez Feijóo

Alberto Núñez Feijóo displayed his territorial power yesterday, Sunday, in the Retiro Park in Madrid, when he was accompanied by all the barons of his party, those who govern and those who will do so in a few days, as an example of what can happen on 23 July, in a general election. And Núñez Feijóo dedicated the event to defending the agreements reached by the PP to govern in…

Ferrovial: Sánchez loses his temper

Fernando González Urbaneja | What we have been hearing and reading these days about Ferrovial’s change of headquarters from Madrid to Amsterdam is astonishing; both the round of interventions by members of the government and some reports and editorials in very reputable media. For example, the front-page headline in Friday’s El País: “Ferrovial was awarded contracts worth 1 billion in the Sánchez era” requires you to read it twice and…
