Amidst high expectations, President Pedro Sánchez appears today before the Senate committee investigating the so-called "Koldo case," an alleged corruption scheme involving former minister José Luis Ábalos and his former advisor Koldo García. This case has led to the imprisonment of the former deputy leader of the PSOE, Santos Cerdán. The People's Party has identified Sánchez as the alleged leader of this network, adding significant political weight to his appearance. The session, which will last five hours, is seen as a crucial test for both the president and the People's Party, which has intensified its accusations in recent months.
Sánchez appears prepared to defend both his political circle and his family, who have also been implicated in the accusations, and seeks to dismantle what he considers to be disinformation spread by the opposition. The appearance is not only an attempt to clarify his position, but also an opportunity for the PSOE to mitigate the impact of the accusations and bolster public trust. On the other hand, for the People's Party, this hearing represents a key moment to substantiate its claims and gain political ground amidst a context of growing tension.
