The audit of the PSOE's accounts by two university professors –whose result was made public earlier this weekThis has generated a second round of scrutiny: the profile of those tasked, at the party's own request, with reviewing its expenses. Both the political and media right have questioned the credibility of the forensic report that rules out the existence of illegal financing within the party. One of the arguments used to cast doubt on the auditors' main conclusion is their ideological alignment with the Spanish government and the fact that one of them, César Martínez Sánchez, has a clear connection to it. He was an advisor to Pedro Sánchez at the Moncloa Palace and to Manuela Carmena at the Madrid City Council.
