Prize for the corrupter
Sánchez only has one incentive to continue in the presidency, which is to avoid the prison that they have been looking for him for a long time. And this is not a government program.
From the sentence of 24 years in prison for Ábalos and 19 years for his assistant Koldo, it stands out that the corrupter of both, Aldama, has been given 4, will not go to prison and will keep the money he received in commissions.
sentence of 24 years in prison for Ábalos and 19 years for his assistant KoldoIt's very strong: you corrupt a politician, then you cooperate with justice, you make a deal with the Prosecutor's Office and you get out of prison – and with your pockets full–. And Aldama walks around Madrid as a hero against corruption, because, of course, he has managed to get a very harsh prison sentence imposed on a Sánchez minister. What does this exquisite treatment of the corrupter mean?
Read Núria Orriols, who nails it today in her analysis: “Whoever can speak, let them speak”
. In other words, Julio Martínez, a friend of Zapatero, speaks and we send him to prison, and you don't worry. And you, Leire, collaborate and we'll finish off Sánchez. And don't worry, we'll know how to compensate our friends. It's scandalous.
Now, let's not lose sight of the fact that the first scandal is Ábalos's: he did business with our money with the masks, when we were all terrified and locked up at home due to the pandemic. And Ábalos was not only a close collaborator of Pedro Sánchez, but he was also the spokesperson for the PSOE on the afternoon of 2018 when Sánchez was invested as President of the Spanish government due to the censure against Rajoy… for corruption. Ábalos said that day that Spain needs a dignified government.
And this brings us to Sánchez. Tomorrow he will appear in Congress to give explanations. But the question we must ask ourselves is: at this point, what can he explain? Is more transparency needed? Haven't they transparented enough, the alleged corruption of Cerdán and the corruption of Ábalos? Sánchez cannot give any convincing explanation and, therefore, he will cling to the part of the truth that suits him, which is that the judicial right (redundancy intended) wants to harm him and that is why they are asking for his wife's passport. But, beyond talking about lawfare, the stain for Sánchez and his government cannot be hidden. At this point, Sánchez only has one incentive to continue in the presidency, which is to avoid the prison they have been seeking for him for a long time. And this is not what is called a government program.
Good morning.
