The accusations were swept under the rug until they resurfaced, forcing the PSOE to apologize. Of course, when you add to a party that already has a former minister in prison for frequenting brothels the sexual harassment allegations against a man close to Sánchez, Sánchez's feminism is called into question. That's why Feijóo attacked him this morning.</p>]]></description>

For five months, the Socialist Party headquarters in Ferraz had kept the investigations into the complaints on hold, until this week. <em>Eldiario.es</em> The PSOE made its contents public. This has spurred the PSOE to reactivate the investigations in the face of internal criticism, but also from the PP, which has seen this case as a new target to attack the Spanish government. President Pedro Sánchez personally acknowledged the "mistakes" made in this case on Saturday, and is now going a step further: he will dismiss Salazar's former right-hand man, Antonio Hernández, currently the director of the Political Coordination department in the Prime Minister's office, according to reports. <em>Eldiario.es</em> And sources at Moncloa confirm to ARA.</p>]]></description>

The Cerdán case has severely damaged the party, but what has generated the most internal turmoil are the audio recordings of José Luis Ábalos and Koldo García evidencing their use of prostitution and the departure of former high-ranking official in the Moncloa Palace, Paco Salazar, for alleged sexual harassment of female workers. Former PSOE number two, Adriana Lastra, gave a very forceful speech behind closed doors during Saturday's federal committee, denouncing the "complicity" within the party with this type of behavior, and this Monday, the Minister of the Presidency, Félix Bolaños, admitted that the PSOE must "reflect" so that women feel more empowered. However, he asked not to "prejudge" the investigations already underway into Salazar.</p>]]></description>
