The Supreme Court has remanded Santos Cerdán, former PSOE organizational secretary, in pretrial detention. The appeals court finds there is a "risk of destruction of evidence" and thus dismisses the appeal filed by the defense after the investigating judge, Leopoldo Puente, ordered him to be held without bail on June 30 for possible charges of membership in a criminal organization, bribery, and influence peddling. The same court also finds there is evidence that Cerdán played a "managerial and controlling role" in the scheme for which he is being investigated, involving the alleged receipt of commissions from the awarding of public works contracts to various companies.

The pressure on Sánchez to end his term continues. The president of the Spanish Episcopal Conference, Luis Argüello, has joined the right and has been calling for early elections for days so that they can "speak to the citizens" in the face of the alleged corruption cases affecting the PSOE (Spanish Socialist Workers' Party). This position was echoed this morning by the religious institution's secretary general, Francisco César García Magán, who asserted that elections would be "a way out of the institutional deadlock." The Archbishopric of Tarragona and the Bishopric of Lleida distance themselves from this statement, and the Spanish government has already responded to the message, accusing the Church of "departing from political neutrality" in a letter signed by the Minister of the Presidency, Félix Bolaños, and addressed to the president of the Episcopal Conference.
