Podemos is the first of Pedro Sánchez's partners to say enough over the Cerdán case, given that the rest of the allies of the plurinational majority, for now, are giving the Spanish government leeway. The purple party distanced itself from the coalition government on Monday and will not participate in the round of contacts the Spanish president will make with the groups that support him to calm them down in the face of the scandal. In a press conference, Podemos's organizational secretary, Pablo Fernández, asserted that Sánchez "does not currently have the legitimacy to lead a progressive government in Spain" and that his party will not contribute to "giving a facelift" to the PSOE in the face of the scheme of contract awards in exchange for kickbacks allegedly orchestrated by former organizational secretary Santos Cerdán. Podemos thus further distances itself from the PSOE and Sumar, which, from the other side of the Cabinet, demanded this Monday that the PSOE implement a package of "democratic regeneration" measures to respond to the case. The two flagship measures of Sumar, announced by Vice President Yolanda Díaz, are to end the capacity restrictions and to ban corrupt companies from public works bidding processes "forever."
