In the spring of 2018, a young and intrepid socialist leader presented a motion of censure against the PP Government, which, at the time, was trapped in a web of corruption cases from which it found itself unable to escape. Although this young and intrepid socialist leader only had 84 seats in Congress, managed to gather the support of several parliamentary groups to form the absolute majority he needed.
That day, Pedro Sanchez He addressed the nation from the rostrum of the chamber with accurate and unquestionable words, which any decent citizen will share, regardless of their ideology. Namely: “Corruption acts as a dissolving and deeply harmful agent for any country.; it dissolves the trust of a society in its rulers and consequently weakens the powers of the State; but it also attacks the roots of social cohesion, on which the coexistence of our democracy is based, if the feeling of impunity due to the magnitude of the events that are being investigated, and the logically slow response of Justice, is combined with inability to assume the slightest political responsibilities for the actors concerned”.
More than six years have passed since those turbulent days, and now we live in more turbulent days due to cases of corruption that affect the Government of that young and intrepid socialist leader, who came to power due to the corruption of others, and who, as time passed , has seen how the prestigious British weekly The Economist, Instead of fearless, he qualifies it with adjectives such as ruthlessmuch less bearable. This should not worry too much in Moncloa, except that Moncloa itself tends to show off to the international press when it speaks well of the Government.
Neither the case of Tito Berni (already forgotten in the media, but alive in the courts) nor that of Begoña Gómez Neither that of the president’s brother nor that of Koldo-Ábalos have been substantiated in a court ruling. The procedures follow what Sánchez himself said in his speech regarding the motion of censure against Rajoy: “The logically slow response of Justice.” Moncloa does boast of having given a quick and forceful political response, although there is data that does not fit that statement. Yes, Sánchez struck down Ábalos from the Government and the leadership of the PSOE in 2021, but he never explained the reason for that fall from grace. If Sánchez separated Ábalos because he knew about his adventures, why doesn’t he tell us? And why didn’t he go to court? And why did you keep Ábalos on the PSOE lists in the next elections in 2023? And, by the way: which of all the versions of the Delcy case is the good one?
