The PP demands "political responsibility" to Sánchez

"The problem, today, is Pedro Sánchez." The PP claims Pedro Sánchez to assume his "political responsibility" as secretary general of the PSOE before the ruling of the ERE, because if he does not do so "he will not be able to be president, even in office", in the words of Teodoro García Egea, general secretary of the 'popular', reports Juanma Lamet .

The PSOE is silent

That it is the Andalusian federation who bears the blame and gives the pertinent explanations. The socialist leadership is waiting for a ruling by the Andalusian PSOE on the ruling of the ERE and the harsh penalties against the convicted Andalusian leaders, before making an assessment of the ruling. Party sources confirm that Ferraz's silence, which has not yet said a word about the ruling even though it was known when it would be disseminated, obeys this circumstance, reports Marisol Hernández .

Vox asks We can "isolate" the PSOE

The leader of Vox, Santiago Abascal, has asked the of Podemos, Pablo Iglesias, to isolate the PSOE and not agree with him after hearing the ruling on the case of the ERE. In a tweet, Abascal points out that this sentence should have as an answer "the isolation of the most corrupt party in Spain", the PSOE, but that (Podemos) will not do so because "you are equal".

Fire test for Podemos

The leader of United PodemosPablo Iglesias, conditioned by that agreement that guarantees the vice presidency of the Government, has decoupled the current PSOE from the scandal and has preferred to make a new account. Lifeguard Sanchez , with whom he hopes to start a new stage that he leaves behind, believes Iglesias, corruption scandals like the one that splashes the Socialists, reports Raúl Piña . "Bipartisanship brought corruption and arrogance. There will be more sentences like this that portray an era. Spain has changed and will not tolerate corruption again," has been its assessment.

Rivera asks for Sánchez's resignation

From Citizens, his former president Albert Rivera has called on Pedro Sánchez to say if he is going to resign after the ERE ruling is made public: "Millions and millions of euros have been stolen from the Spaniards," he stressed. "Today we finally have the sentence of the ERE of the PSOE, the Spanish have been robbed of millions and millions of euros. Are you going to resign, Mr. Sanchez? YES or NO?" Rivera asked, who resigned last Monday after the electoral breakdown of Citizens .
