01.07.2025Cerdán's Chains Tightened on Government
The Santos Cerdán corruption case dominated Spanish media, with his definitive imprisonment without bail confirmed in the morning. Judicial investigations expanded throughout the day, implicating potential PSOE party funds and identifying a larger financial scope, with a judge confirming the veracity of Koldo's audios with Cerdán.
The conservative opposition, led by Feijóo, swiftly capitalized, actively engaging Sánchez's parliamentary partners to explore a no-confidence motion, reportedly including a meeting with Puigdemont. Internally, the PSOE showed signs of apprehension, with a pro-Sánchez rally cancellation requested due to anticipated low turnout.
The government expressed "deception" over Cerdán's jailing and later issued an apology for the case, yet affirmed its commitment to its political roadmap. Additionally, a Google executive reportedly confirmed dealings related to Begoña Gómez's software involving payments, adding to the government's scrutiny. Late in the day, a major fire in Segarra with casualties emerged.
