The corruption cases that the socialists try to cover up by offending Catholics

The coalition government of socialists and communists led by Pedro Sánchez has been besieged by corruption scandals for months.

Offending Catholics: socialism resorts to bad education to cover up its scandals
Sanchez is cornered by socialist corruption and his only defense is already burned

As I pointed out here yesterday, that is the main reason for the socialists' offenses against Catholics promoted by Spanish Television with the money of all taxpayers. The PSOE seeks to generate controversy by resorting to its bad manners to cover up its scandals, at a time when the political stench generated by these cases of corruption is almost impossible to hide, not even by resorting to what has become the Spanish left's favorite wild card to distract public opinion: Franco.

30 relatives and senior officials of Sánchez are involved in these cases

The PSOE's desperation in resorting to provocations against Catholics is explained by the magnitude of its scandals. There are already 30 relatives and senior officials of Sánchez implicated in these corruption cases, including his wife, his brother, the president of Congress, three ministers and two of the highest officials of the PSOE. Although the Spanish television, controlled by the socialists, and the media close to the government dedicate many efforts to cover all this up, governments in other European countries have already fallen for much less.

The case of Sánchez's wife, already charged with four alleged crimes

The Begoña Gómez Case is the one that affects Sánchez most closely, since his wife is implicated due to the private businesses she has developed while taking advantage of her stay at the La Moncloa palace. Right now, she is accused of alleged crimes of influence peddling, private corruption, misappropriation and professional intrusion.

The Koldo case and some very compromising photos for Sánchez and the PSOE

On the other hand, the Koldo Case is the one that most affects the government and the Socialist Party. In this case, the Supreme Court has charged José Luis Ábalos Meco with four crimes, who was Sánchez's right-hand man, was Minister of Transport of the government and secretary of organization of the PSOE, that is, one of the highest officials in the party. He is accused of bribery, influence peddling, criminal organization and embezzlement in a plot involving alleged irregularities in the public awarding of mask contracts during the pandemic.

One of the main people involved in this plot is the businessman Víctor de Aldama, very close to the PSOE and who acted as a "fixer" . The socialists have tried to deny their links with Aldama and Sánchez denied knowing him, saying that he never exchanged "even a word" with him .

However, this new lie from the socialist leader was dismantled in October, when the newspaper El Mundo published a photo of Sánchez with Aldama (it is the one that heads this article), taken at a PSOE event in February 2019. Images of Aldama at the national headquarters of the PSOE have also been disseminated in that same year, including a photo on the third floor of the building, in which Aldama appeared sitting next to the then minister Ábalos.

The case of Sánchez's brother, also charged with four alleged crimes

Another scandal that affects the government very closely is the case of Pedro Sánchez's brother, implicated in various irregularities that have culminated in his judicial indictment for alleged crimes of influence peddling, prevarication, embezzlement and fraud It should be noted that in this same case the leader of the PSOE in Extremadura and current president of the Provincial Council of Badajoz, Miguel Ángel Gallardo, is also charged.

Sánchez puts PSOE members' swallowing habits to the test

Obviously, the PSOE does not need to be cornered by corruption to attack Catholics: anti-Catholic fanaticism is already a tradition in that party. Now, in addition, Sánchez and his colleagues have an additional incentive to feed this sick hatred: generate noise and have the media talk about the offenses against Catholics and not about the cases of corruption, although the risk for the PSOE is to end up alienating socialist members who combine their militancy with the practice of Catholicism and attendance at Holy Week processions. Surely Sánchez hopes that the socialist members can stomach these offences as much as they can stomach corruption, the pacts with the separatists and the heirs of ETA or the scandalous amnesty granted to the fugitive Puigdemont in exchange for his support for Sánchez's re-election.
