The Galician Socialists have elected this Wednesday in their 14th congress, with 81.47% of the votes and in the presence of Pedro Sánchez, the more than 50 members of their new Executive Commission, which will be chaired by

Carmela Silva

, president of the Diputación de Pontevedra, and involved in a corruption case sentenced by the Supreme Court.

Silva, a historian of Galician socialism, is subjected to an increasingly narrow siege by the opposition, which demands her resignation after the Supreme Court confirmed the condemnation of an official of the Vigo City Council for concocting a plan to hire in secret to his sister-in-law.

Chamber II of the Supreme Court has ratified the sentence of five years and three months in prison imposed by the Hearing of Pontevedra on

Francisco Javier Gutiérrez Orué

, head of Participation and Citizen Attention in the City Council chaired by

Abel Caballero

and in which Silva is councilor and deputy mayor.

The sentence is imposed for a continuous crime of prevarication in media bankruptcy with a crime of embezzlement and another of falsification in a commercial document.

The PP considers that behind this condemned official "there is an interested political decision" to hire the sister-in-law of the president of the Diputación to whom, in addition, the amount of 108,000 euros was paid for some work that she did not carry out.

The

popular

accuse the PSdeG of "looking the other way" in this case of corruption, to the point of not finding any impediment to elect Silva as president of its new executive, a designation that has been confirmed this Wednesday in the presence of the president of the Government.

Sánchez's achievements

Pedro Sánchez has taken advantage of the closing of the congress of the Galician socialists to express his chest precisely because of the "exemplary nature" of his Government compared to the "corruption" of the Executive of Mariano Rajoy, whom he himself, recalled, overthrew by means of a motion of censorship that "regenerated the country."

In addition, he has accused the Popular Party of "not complying with the Constitution and damaging democracy." Something, Sánchez said, "unforgivable" in times of crisis such as those experienced after the Covid-19 pandemic. On the contrary, he has placed himself at the "forefront of what is to come in Europe" and has claimed to represent with his management "the most genuine" of the Magna Carta and of the "plurality and diversity" of Spain.

The president has made a long review of all the achievements that his Government notes - pensions, minimum wage, minimum vital income, ERTE, scholarships, euthanasia law, housing - to conclude that socialists "manage the economy better" than conservatives .

To his credit, he has pointed to the net creation of 750,000 jobs and a number of contributors to Social Security higher than that registered before the pandemic.

Sánchez has also shown his pride in the level of vaccination against Covid that the country has reached and has considered that now, to face the increase in cases due to the omicron variant, it is enough to apply the prescription for more vaccines and more masks.

"Science and prudence", he said, repeating the central phrase of the argument prepared by La Moncloa.

The President of the Government has assured that in terms of vaccination and the fight against the pandemic, Spain is "the mirror in which European societies look at themselves" and has taken for granted that it will once again be an example with the vaccination program for children between five and 11 years.
