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.”
