18.06.2025 ⇢ Day Parliament Erupted in Corruption Shouting Match
⌨Sánchez faced his most chaotic parliamentary session since the corruption crisis began, with constant shouts of "dimisión" drowning out proceedings as he and Feijóo exchanged corruption accusations. The prime minister dismissed his two organization secretaries' scandals as mere "anecdotes" while attacking the PP's "encyclopedia of corruption." Feijóo warned "Cerdán will not be the final" case and requested four votes for a no-confidence motion.
The UCO investigation deepened with revelations that Cerdán owned 45% of a company involved in bid-rigging schemes. More damaging was the discovery of a hard drive that Ábalos attempted to conceal during searches, containing messages between him and PSOE leaders including Sánchez himself. The operation also led to detention of an adult film actress who was removing the drive.
A GESOP poll showed 62% of Spaniards demanding elections, including 40% of PSOE voters. Moncloa acknowledged more audio recordings would surface but declared it "worth enduring" the crisis.
