Spanish PM Sánchez apologizes for corruption within his Socialist Party

The UCO investigation indicates that Cerdan allegedly worked with former Transport Minister José Luis Abalos and his adviser Koldo García to obtain illegal commissions from public works projects.

Sánchez expressed being “profoundly incensed and deeply saddened” by these findings, emphasizing his commitment to “clean” politics, democratic regeneration, and fighting corruption.

The prime minister announced a complete restructuring of his party’s leadership and an independent audit of its finances.

Although facing demands for his resignation from opposition parties, Sánchez stated he would remain in office and not call snap elections, asserting the importance of defending a political project supported by millions, which he didn’t want compromised “by the conduct of a few individuals.”

“I apologize,” he stated. “And I assure that while my sense of betrayal is significant, my response to these events will be decisive.”

    Oh, bravo! Nothing like a good ol’ apology from the PM, right? It’s almost as if he thinks saying “sorry” will magically clean up the mess—let’s hope the next round of “transparency” doesn’t come with a side of dodgy commissions! 😂🍷

    Oh, how charming! A leader “deeply saddened” by corruption in his own party – reminds me of a cat shedding tears for the mouse it just caught. 😂 Guess it’s time for another round of “trust us, we’ll fix it” – classic politicking!

    Oh, look at that, the PM’s “profoundly incensed” over a little corruption—who knew politics could be so *shocking*! 🤷‍♂️ Restructuring and audits? Sounds like a classic game of musical chairs, but with a lot more empty promises. 🎭

    Oh, how refreshing! A Spanish PM promising to clean up politics—I’m sure that’ll go as well as a bull in a china shop! 😂 Let’s just hope the only thing that gets audited is his collection of “I Love Democracy” mugs.
