It was then that he offered <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2025\/06\/26\/amnesty-the-greatest-act-of-corruption-in-the-entire-history-of-democracy-in-spain\/\">the scandalous amnesty to his separatist partners<\/a> for the serious crimes committed during the 2017 coup attempt in Catalonia. <strong>S\u00e1nchez granted criminal privileges in exchange for the votes needed to remain in power<\/strong>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2025\/06\/26\/amnesty-the-greatest-act-of-corruption-in-the-entire-history-of-democracy-in-spain\/\">the biggest act of corruption in the entire history of democracy in Spain<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Three years after those elections, <strong>S\u00e1nchez's government is besieged by corruption scandals<\/strong>. If it was difficult before to obtain the support of its separatist and far-left allies, now it's even worse. With a year to go before the next elections, <strong>fear has considerably increased within the socialist ranks of being abandoned by their government partners, the far-left Sumar<\/strong> (the umpteenth electoral brand of the Communist Party of Spain, PCE), to avoid being tainted by the PSOE's corruption in the lead-up to the next election. <strong>That explains a news story today.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This morning, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/sanchezcastejon\/status\/2080183595633676668\" target=\"_blank\">Pedro S\u00e1nchez announced the candidacy of Yolanda D\u00edaz for the leadership of the International Labour Organization (ILO)<\/a>, <strong>one of those United Nations agencies that consume a huge amount of public money<\/strong> and that serves to allow activists of all kinds to lead a comfortable life once their political careers in their countries of origin have run their course. <strong>That candidacy will have serious problems getting off the ground<\/strong>, since <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eldebate.com\/gente\/20260504\/dia-yolanda-diaz-quedo-blanco-ante-pregunta-ingles-desigual-nivel-nuestros-politicos_413549.html\" target=\"_blank\">Yolanda D\u00edaz doesn't even speak English<\/a>, the most widely used language in international relations and a common working language in UN agencies.<\/p>\n<p>Despu\u00e9s de ese anuncio de S\u00e1nchez, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/PabloCamPiq\/status\/2080225869319086112\" target=\"_blank\">el exdiputado Pablo Cambronero ha se\u00f1alado que en 2025 el gobierno de S\u00e1nchez pag\u00f3 casi 10 millones de euros a la OIT en 2025<\/a> (concretamente 9.871.800 euros). <strong>Si Yolanda D\u00edaz lograse hacerse con al direcci\u00f3n de la OIT<\/strong>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eldebate.com\/economia\/20260723\/cuanto-ganaria-yolanda-diaz-frente-oit_442703.html\" target=\"_blank\">su remuneraci\u00f3n actual superar\u00eda los 350.000 euros<\/a>, un buen aliciente personal para mantener su apoyo al gobierno de S\u00e1nchez y guardar silencio sobre sus esc\u00e1ndalos de corrupci\u00f3n hasta que concluya esta legislatura. <strong>As\u00ed que ya sab\u00e9is lo que los espa\u00f1oles tendremos que pagar para que S\u00e1nchez siga en el poder y Yolanda D\u00edaz siga callada<\/strong>, asegur\u00e1ndose un generoso sueldo para el d\u00eda de ma\u00f1ana.
