The coalition government of socialists and communists led by Pedro S\u00e1nchez has been besieged by corruption scandals for months.<\/p>\n
As I pointed out here yesterday, that is the main reason for the socialists' offenses against Catholics<\/a> 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<\/strong>, 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<\/strong>.<\/p>\n 30 relatives and senior officials of S\u00e1nchez are involved in these cases<\/big><\/p>\n 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 S\u00e1nchez implicated in these corruption cases<\/a>, including his wife, his brother, the president of Congress<\/strong>, three ministers and two of the highest officials of the PSOE<\/a>. 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<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The case of S\u00e1nchez's wife, already charged with four alleged crimes<\/big><\/p>\n The Bego\u00f1a G\u00f3mez Case<\/a> is the one that affects S\u00e1nchez most closely, since his wife is implicated<\/strong> 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.<\/strong><\/p>\n The Koldo case and some very compromising photos for S\u00e1nchez and the PSOE<\/big><\/p>\n On the other hand, the Koldo Case<\/a> is the one that most affects the government and the Socialist Party<\/strong>. In this case, the Supreme Court has charged Jos\u00e9 Luis \u00c1balos Meco<\/a> with four crimes, who was S\u00e1nchez's right-hand man<\/strong>, 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<\/strong> in a plot involving alleged irregularities in the public awarding of mask contracts during the pandemic.<\/p>\n One of the main people involved in this plot is the businessman V\u00edctor de Aldama, very close to the PSOE and who acted as a \"fixer\" <\/strong>. The socialists have tried to deny their links with Aldama and S\u00e1nchez denied knowing him, saying that he never exchanged \"even a word\" with him <\/a>.<\/p>\n However, this new lie from the socialist leader was dismantled in October, when the newspaper El Mundo published a photo of S\u00e1nchez with Aldama<\/a> (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<\/a> in that same year, including a photo on the third floor of the building<\/a>, in which Aldama appeared sitting next to the then minister \u00c1balos.<\/p>\n The case of S\u00e1nchez's brother, also charged with four alleged crimes<\/big><\/p>\n Another scandal that affects the government very closely is the case of Pedro S\u00e1nchez's brother<\/strong>, implicated in various irregularities<\/a> that have culminated in his judicial indictment<\/a> for alleged crimes of influence peddling, prevarication, embezzlement and fraud <\/strong>It should be noted that in this same case the leader of the PSOE in Extremadura<\/a> and current president of the Provincial Council of Badajoz, Miguel \u00c1ngel Gallardo, is also charged.<\/p>\n S\u00e1nchez puts PSOE members' swallowing habits to the test<\/big><\/p>\n Obviously, the PSOE does not need to be cornered by corruption to attack Catholics: anti-Catholic fanaticism is already a tradition in that party<\/strong>. Now, in addition, S\u00e1nchez 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<\/strong>, 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 S\u00e1nchez hopes that the socialist members can stomach these offences as much as they can stomach corruption<\/strong>, the pacts with the separatists and the heirs of ETA or the scandalous amnesty granted to the fugitive Puigdemont<\/a> in exchange for his support for S\u00e1nchez's re-election.<\/p>\n ---<\/p>\n Photo: El Mundo.
