Detentions and Resignation Deepen PSOE Crisis Over Harassment and Corruption

Fresh detentions plus a forced exit intensify scrutiny of the party’s handling of anonymous complaints.

Overview

  • The Guardia Civil detained Leire Díez and former SEPI president Vicente Fernández in a case directed by the Audiencia Nacional.
  • Lugo provincial chief José Tomé resigned after six anonymous sexual‑harassment complaints surfaced, though he retains his mayoralty, according to El Mundo.
  • Coverage identifies Díez as the PSOE’s “fontanera” and reports accusations that she sought to discredit the Guardia Civil, while Fernández is described as close to María Jesús Montero and allegedly linked to Servinabar.
  • The party faces internal rebellion over the Salazar affair after a reported five‑month delay in contacting Moncloa staff who filed anonymous complaints, with figures urging referral to the Fiscalía.
  • The PP amplified attacks on the PSOE’s credibility on feminism and corruption, and editorials argue the legislature is being further eroded.
