The PSOE spokesperson resigns due to her partner's real estate dealings

BarcelonaPSOE spokesperson Montse Mínguez resigns following the scandal generated in recent days over her partner's real estate dealings. The deputy for Lleida announced this Friday that she is "taking a step back" with a "clear conscience" in a statement published on social media. "I have made the decision, convinced that it is the best thing for the collective project to which I have dedicated my best energies," she asserts. Thus, Mínguez will not repeat as the head of the PSC list for Lleida in the upcoming Spanish elections, as had been planned, and the number 1 candidate in the Lleida constituency for the socialists will be Lleida City Council member Cristina Morón.

The deputy, who was scheduled to repeat as the head of the PSC list for Lleida in the upcoming Spanish elections, made this decision after the newspaper El Diario brought to light that her partner owns at least one real estate company, Nest Capital, which manages 8 million euros in assets and between 20 and 30 rental apartments. This news caused quite a stir, especially considering that one of the main topics of the pre-campaign is the housing crisis.
