Feijóo Calls for Sánchez's Resignation Amid Corruption Allegations
In a rally in Málaga, the leader of the Partido Popular accused Sánchez of complicity in corruption scandals, demanding accountability from the current government.
Alberto Núñez Feijóo, leader of the Partido Popular (PP), delivered a forceful speech in Málaga before an audience of approximately 5,000 supporters, calling for the resignation of Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez.
Feijóo characterized Sánchez as both a liar and an accomplice regarding recent corruption allegations revealed in a report by the Unidad Central Operativa (UCO).
'He must go for being complicit and for being a liar; he knew everything and looked the other way,' Feijóo asserted.
The speech came amid intensified scrutiny of Sánchez's government following reports of a purported corruption scheme involving members of the Socialist Party (PSOE).
Feijóo expressed confidence that neither Sánchez nor his party could escape the ramifications of these allegations, stating, 'They have no escape route, neither Sánchez nor his government.' He emphasized the idea that if Sánchez was aware of the corruption, he should resign as an accomplice, and if he claims ignorance, he should still resign for deceit.
Throughout his speech, Feijóo was met with chants of 'Pedro Sánchez, resign,' as he pointed to the alleged involvement of key figures in the PSOE in this corruptive environment.
'This is the history of sanchismo,' he remarked, underscoring the depth of corruption within the current administration.
Feijóo demanded that Sánchez appear before the Congress of Deputies that week to address the situation.
He warned that if Sánchez did not comply, he would force a vote in Congress to pressure the Prime Minister's accountability.
'Sánchez must be in Congress; he should stop resisting democracy,' Feijóo stated.
He proposed that lawmakers must decide whether to support Sánchez and clarified that continuation alongside him would equate to complicity in the ongoing scandals.
Beyond addressing Sánchez, Feijóo called on the Spanish public to support a 'new politics,' declaring his readiness to govern.
He presented a vision for Spain that includes reduced taxes, a drastic reduction in the number of government advisors, and a reevaluation of the structure of ministries.
He reaffirmed his stance that no individuals convicted of terrorism should be eligible for electoral lists and stated that if a Supreme Court indictment were brought against a chief prosecutor, that individual would be automatically dismissed.
Feijóo also pledged to restore penalties for embezzlement of public funds and to reject pardons for those convicted of political corruption.
He indicated that individuals who misappropriated public funds would face incarceration without governmental intervention to mitigate their sentences.
He called for the reinstatement of penalties for illegal referendums and sedition, marking a distinct legal and political agenda for the PP.
