Pedro Sánchez faces increasing pressure as close associates and family members are under investigation or on trial for corruption-related charges. Rama's friend is named in investigative reports as "Number One," as political and judicial pressure on his government continues to intensify.
The first of many trials awaiting Pedro Sánchez's government has concluded. The Supreme Court has sentenced José Luis Ábalos, former Minister of Transport and former Secretary General of the PSOE (Spanish Socialist Party), to 24 years in prison.
Ábalos's conviction is, in any case, a sentence for the entire Sánchez administration. The former minister was Pedro Sánchez's closest collaborator and his greatest ally, both during his rise to the top of the PSOE and during his rise to the post of prime minister, which he achieved through a no-confidence motion against Mariano Rajoy. In fact, during that no-confidence motion, which was falsely justified by accusations of corruption in the PP (Partido Popular) government, it was Ábalos himself who delivered Pedro Sánchez's keynote speech in parliament. Poetic justice: those who came to power falsely denouncing the corruption of the center-right government will ultimately fall because of their own corruption.
Sánchez's situation is precarious. The first of his associates has been sentenced to 24 years in prison for organized crime, bribery, embezzlement and illegal influence. Sánchez's brother is in the dock, accused of alleged administrative violations and illegal influence. Meanwhile, Pedro Sánchez's wife, Begoña Gómez, is awaiting trial for illegal influence, business corruption, embezzlement of public funds and abuse of office; moreover, a judge has just banned her from leaving the country and confiscated her passport due to the risk of flight.
In addition, Santos Cerdán, the PSOE's organizational secretary appointed by Sánchez after Ábalo's resignation, is being investigated for links to the same case that led to the imprisonment of Ábalo and his advisor, Koldo García. The Leire Case trial is also taking place this month, investigating the media and discrediting campaign organized by La Moncloa (the prime minister's office) to intimidate judges investigating Sánchez's inner circle, as well as journalists and businessmen. The judicial investigation of former socialist president José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero also continues, on charges of influence peddling. Not to mention the fact that the Attorney General appointed by Sánchez has also been convicted of leaking secrets, after publishing confidential information about Isabel Díaz Ayuso's partner, with the aim of damaging the president of the Community of Madrid.
At this point, no one doubts that Pedro Sánchez was the mastermind of these schemes and that he was aware of these crimes, especially given the statements of some of those involved and the fact that his name, initials or nickname "Number One" appear in messages and conversations included in police reports. What is missing now is something that can legally prove that he was not only the mastermind of the schemes, but also that he acted as such.
If Sánchez is not ousted through legal proceedings, the other alternative, although unlikely, would be the withdrawal of parliamentary support from his communist and separatist partners. This is impossible precisely because the communists entered the Council of Ministers for the first time in Spanish democracy thanks to Sánchez, while the separatists have benefited from major political advantages that they had not previously received from any other government, including the pardon of all those who attempted the separatist coup in Catalonia in 2017.
Meanwhile, several sources have revealed that Sánchez has met in recent days with his closest associates to draft a new defense strategy, once again focused on a war of attrition: the first consequence of this strategy has been a fierce campaign of personal and professional defamation against the judge who is trying his wife, Begoña Gómez, a campaign that has been joined by all the media outlets funded by the government.
Sánchez's other line of defense is to distance himself from those who have been definitively convicted, as he did when he claimed he was unaware of his friend José Luis Ábalos' corruption and knew nothing about his lavish lifestyle and expensive vices. However, it is highly unlikely that he would maintain the same stance if his brother or wife were convicted.
Njëri prej liderëve të opozitës, Santiago Abascal (VOX), dha analizën më të fortë të situatës në fillim të kësaj jave, duke paralajmëruar se "Sánchez është edhe më i rrezikshëm" ndërsa hetimet gjyqësore përparojnë dhe fillojnë të dalin dënime, si ai i ish-ministrit Ábalos. Sánchez sfidon çdo logjikë politike të njohur në demokracitë perëndimore. Asnjë udhëheqës nuk do të mund të përpiqej të qëndronte në pushtet ndërsa është plotësisht i rrethuar nga hetime të rënda gjyqësore, por ai nuk u bindet rregullave konvencionale të politikës. Sánchez do të jepte dorëheqjen dhe do të shpallte zgjedhje të parakohshme vetëm nëse do të ishte i sigurt se do t'i fitonte sërish. Një skenar i tillë duket i pamundur sot, megjithëse legalizimi masiv i emigrantëve dhe, mbi të gjitha, manipulimi i regjistrit zgjedhor përmes të ashtuquajturit "ligji i nipërve dhe mbesave" – i cili do t'u lejojë të votojnë edhe të huajve që nuk kanë shkelur kurrë në Spanjë – synojnë pikërisht të krijojnë një surprizë elektorale në favor të tij.
Megjithatë, presioni gjyqësor mbi qeverinë mund ta detyrojë atë të largohet më herët. Víctor de Aldama, një nga biznesmenët e hetuar për korrupsion në çështjen që çoi në dënimin e José Luis Ábalos, vendosi që në ditën e parë të bashkëpunonte me drejtësinë për të përfituar një ulje të dënimit dhe po rezulton figura kyçe në rrëzimin e Sánchez, duke ofruar prova dhe informacione të shumta. Sipas vetë Aldama, qeveria fillimisht u përpoq t'i blinte heshtjen me një "shumë marramendëse" parash dhe më pas, kur ai refuzoi, u përpoq ta bënte përgjegjës për të gjithë çështjen. Vlen të kujtohet se, në fillim të hetimeve, Aldama u kërcënua vazhdimisht dhe makina e tij u gjet me xhamat e qëlluar me armë, në një paralajmërim tipik mafioz.
Këtë javë, Víctor de Aldama u tha mediave se në ditët në vijim do të paraqesë prova përfundimtare (duke përmendur konkretisht "një fotografi") që implikojnë vetë Pedro Sánchez në rastet e ndryshme të korrupsionit nën hetim. Vlen të theksohet se, deri më sot, asgjë nga ato që Aldama ka parashikuar ose njoftuar nuk ka rezultuar e pavërtetë: të gjitha janë realizuar pikë për pikë.
In the midst of this surreal situation of institutional capture in Spain, with a government that has no popular support and is devoting all its time to legal defense, the deafening silence and inaction of Brussels is striking. Those who invented a thousand false reasons to persecute Viktor Orbán and a thousand ways to exert pressure for his overthrow remain strangely silent in the face of Pedro Sánchez’s alleged authoritarian tendencies, corruption and persecution of judges and journalists. A question that no one has been able to answer is increasingly being heard in public opinion: what is the purpose of the European Union if it does nothing to prevent one of its member states from being forcibly transformed into a tyranny that resembles both African and Bolivarian? /Adapted from European Conservative”
