The threat to Pedro Sánchez: 'whoever can speak, let them speak'
MadridThe sentence of José Luis Ábalos is an exemplary conviction. Not only for the penalty of up to 24 years in prison imposed on the former minister and former right-hand man of Pedro Sánchez, but also for the prize that Víctor Aldama takes away. The corrupt businessman in the case will not go to prison. The Supreme Court imposes a four-year deprivation of liberty that he can avoid thanks, among other things, to community work. It should be remembered that this is already the second benefit that Aldama receives for allegedly collaborating with justice and talking about PSOE cases: he already got out of preventive detention for helping in another case (that of hydrocarbons) and for providing information that could help with the ongoing investigations surrounding the Koldo case.
The Supreme Court's sentence incorporates, however, a warning to sailors for other judicial cases affecting the PSOE. It states: "The rule of law must reward with the instruments provided for in the legislation those relevant behaviors that contribute to the discovery and accreditation of crimes of the gravity for the democratic system." To continue: "It is in the interest of the State that the investigation be facilitated by the voluntary contributions of the perpetrator. This simplifies the restoration of the legal order by the one who has disturbed it. Efforts are saved in the investigation, while reinforcing the proof of the prosecution's claim."
The translation was done quickly, from the doors of the Supreme Court, by Aldama's spokesperson and Hazte Oír. They directly urged Julio Martínez Martínez, the alleged frontman for José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, to cooperate with justice. That is, to speak and accuse the former president of what he allegedly may have seen. Hazte Oír has explicitly added that Aldama's soft sentence is bad news for all the pending cases the PSOE has, as it is an incentive for other defendants who are not from the party (or have been abandoned by the party) to collaborate with alleged information with the judiciary. Read here Julio Martínez Martínez, Leire Díez, or even Santos Cerdán. The objective of the network of popular accusations that extends to all these cases, from Hazte Oír to the PP, passing through Vox and Manos Limpias, is to reach the 'one,' with or without foundation.
A new version of what José María Aznar said and which is marking the legislature: it is a whoever can speak, let them speak manual.
