Overview

  • PSOE has launched an ‘expediente informativo’ against Leire Díez and is weighing disciplinary action after tapes showed her seeking information to undermine the UCO.
  • Government sources in Moncloa maintain that Díez acted on her own initiative with no authorization from party or government leadership.
  • Vice President Yolanda Díaz urged ‘máxima contundencia’ and called for democratic regeneration in light of the allegations.
  • PP president Alberto Núñez Feijóo has invited citizens to rally in Madrid on June 8 to demand accountability for alleged government corruption.
  • The Guardia Civil’s UCO continues broader probes into high-level corruption, underscored by the arrest of former PP security secretary Francisco Martínez in Operation Borraska.
