Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez confronted a major crisis linked to corruption allegations against party secretary Santos Cerdan. Despite prior suspicions, Sanchez had backed Cerdan until a damaging report surfaced, leading to Cerdan's dismissal. An urgent reshuffle within the PSOE is anticipated as Sanchez strives to maintain governmental stability. The scandal revolves around recordings discussing kickbacks related to public contracts, with Cerdan denying his involvement. Observers note profound changes will be necessary for Sanchez to navigate this political turmoil successfully.
This time, the crisis affects him directly, because it was he who appointed party secretary Santos Cerdan, who is embroiled in a corruption scandal involving kickbacks.
Sanchez confirmed Santos Cerdan in his role six months ago, even though by then there were already suspicions hanging over this top official of the PSOE.
Santos Cerdan claimed that the voice was not his, that the audio recordings must have been manipulated.
Sanchez will have to make very profound changes in an attempt to survive what is unraveling within his administration.
