In recent months, the PP and PSOE have not come closer to discussing how to prevent the repetition of cases that have affected them, such as those of Montoro or Cerdán, but rather have further distanced themselves from the possibility of working together to curb these practices. "We should all sit down and work and stop pointing fingers at each other," argues the executive director of Transparency International in Spain, David Martínez, in an interview with ARA. The organization has prepared a report with 100 recommendations to combat corruption, in which it analyzes <a href="https://en.ara.cat/politics/blacklist-for-corrupt-companies-and-greater-political-control-sanchez-s-anti-corruption-plan_1_5437749.html" >the state plan that Pedro Sánchez presented on July 9</a> after the scandal broke out involving the man who, until then, was his number three in the party. "The first thing we need is [political] unity," concludes Martínez, who points out that "using corruption as a weapon demonstrates an insufficient level of democratic maturity."</p>]]></description>
