Precautionary custody in prison without the possibility of bail out due to risk of destruction or alteration of tests. This is what the Supreme Court’s investigating judge, Leopoldo Puente, to Santos Cerdan, ex -number 3 of the Socialist Party, ordered. Cerdan, a former collaborator near Pedro Sanchez, entered the royal prison Soto, while the first -minister was the owner of the UN conference on development funding, which is celebrated today in Seville. It is a serious blow to the image of the executive and the socialists. News from Cerdan’s pre -trial detention came with a bad time for Sanchez, while the leader was involved in the press conference with UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres at the same congress palace, where at the beginning of December Cerdan had been confirmed as secretary of the PSOE organization at the 41st party congress. “Maximum collaboration and maximum respect for justice,” was the first -minister’s comment, who claimed PSOE’s “firm” response with the removal of the first number 3 of all its positions. “Now is the moment of justice that must determine responsibilities,” said Sanchez.
Cerdan is suspected of possible crimes of criminal association, corruption and influence traffic. The Supreme Court’s investigating judge believes he may have gotten a bribes tour in exchange for the assignment of public purchases, in which the former Menister of Socialist Transport Jose Luis Abilos was also involved, as well as the predecessor of Cerdan as secretary of the PSOE organization, and the former Koldia. The investigation began months ago to serve alleged irregularities in the purchase of masks and health materials by various public administrations at the most critical time of Covid-19. In recent months, the investigation has expanded to other areas. In the morning, Cerdan went to the Supreme Court to declare as investigated. He denied the accusations and called himself a “victim” of political persecution for negotiating with Basque PNV and Eh Bildu Parties the agreement for the investigation of Pedro Sanchez. He also said that the next will be Minister of Justice, Felix Bolaños, to negotiate with Junnts. Sumar, an ally of the PSOE government, admitted that the entry of the arrest of Cerdan obliges him to reflection.
Executive members in the Parliament warned that they will maintain high custody if the corruption scandal should increase to other socialist exponents. The most difficult was the weather that spoke of “damage to democracy and the irreparable progressive majority.” The vice -premier and PSOE number 2, Maria Jesus Montero excluded the first elections. The opposition emerged again. The PP has called for Sanchez’s resignation, while Vox insists on wanting to follow the way to the motion of censorship, for which, however, rights do not have enough votes to be approved. On Saturday, there will be a PSOE meeting, where changes in the party will be announced, while parallel the PP will celebrate an extraordinary congress in which Alberto Núñez Feijóo’s leadership will be reconfirmed and political training aims to bring a possible approach to the vote.
