Now Sánchez also joins the public pressure for the Valencian politician to renounce his deputy status by defending that his arrival at La Moncloa through a motion of censure against it occurred due to "the need to put an end to the corruption of the PP." and that his Government "has made exemplarity its flag."

that "in the face of those who supported corruption, they expelled those who denounced it, absolute transparency today."
