This Tuesday, the National Court was the scene of an important declaration that in another country would have caused a political earthquake.
Civil Guard commander Rubén Villalba, charged in the Koldo case (one of the corruption scandals of Spanish socialism), testified as a witness in the case of the "sewers" of the PSOE, which is being investigated by judge Santiago Pedraz.
The most striking aspect of that statement by a commander of one of the state security forces is that Villalba admitted to having met with the socialist 'fixer' Leire Díez, who claimed to be speaking on behalf of 'the one', and allegedly offered her a promotion, promising her a place in the top ranks of the Civil Guard in exchange for providing information to undermine the Central Operational Unit (UCO), the Civil Guard unit investigating corruption cases affecting the government, the PSOE, and Pedro Sánchez's personal circle.
Let us recall that last Thursday, Judge Pedraz indicted the Director of the Civil Guard, the Socialist Mercedes González Fernández, and her Deputy Director of Operations (DAO), Lieutenant General Manuel Llamas Fernández, for crimes of malfeasance, membership in or cooperation with a criminal organization, obstruction of justice, professional disloyalty, and disclosure of secrets. If what was revealed yesterday is true, this would confirm the existence of a criminal conspiracy within the State itself to obstruct judicial investigations affecting high-ranking Socialist officials, a matter of extraordinary gravity.
It's not hard to imagine which "one" Leire Díez was referring to when she offered favors to a Civil Guard commander in exchange for removing colleagues who were doing their duty to fight corruption. After all, this "one's" government has been attacking the judges investigating its scandals for months, without bothering to hide these pressures, which should be intolerable in a democratic country but which, in Spain, under Pedro Sánchez, have become commonplace. What's most astonishing is the lack of reaction from society to this new scandal, perhaps because many Spaniards are already fed up with so many corruption cases or simply because a segment of society simply turns a blind eye when it comes to left-wing corruption.
These judicial investigations are increasingly pointing to the existence of a mafia within the State, designed to commit crimes and then guarantee impunity for its perpetrators. This network is embedded in several ministries—including one of the largest in terms of budget, the Ministry of Transport— and has ramifications in various public institutions and state-owned enterprises. Sánchez came to power presenting himself as an alternative to the corruption of the People's Party, but eight years later we find ourselves facing a sinister situation. Socialism has generated such a level of corruption that in another country it would have been enough to bring down half a dozen governments, but here absolutely no one resigns, not even the director of the Civil Guard when she is formally charged with very serious crimes.
The PSOE has turned the State into a political swamp and intends to prevent anyone from cleaning up the mess it has left behind, because this is the ideal environment for the socialists to cover up their scandals. Spain needs a drastic change, a chainsaw-like change, as happened in Argentina, so that this gang of criminals cannot once again assault and poison our institutions as they have been doing for the last eight years.
