Galician Socialists Defend Handling of Harassment Cases as PP Escalates Senate Summons and Financing Offensive

Each side now treats the harassment cases plus the ERC financing pact as a test of credibility.

Overview

  • At the PSdeG National Committee in Santiago, leader José Ramón Gómez Besteiro laid out the timeline of the Tomé and Barbadás cases, defended the PSOE’s confidential complaint channel, and cautioned against its instrumentalization.
  • Party sources said the complaints against A Coruña mayor Inés Rey remain under federal PSOE review, while José Tomé is suspended from party membership yet retains his local posts as a non‑attached official.
  • From the PP’s interparliamentary meeting in A Coruña, Miguel Tellado said the party will summon former Moncloa official Francisco Salazar and ex‑prime minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero to a Senate investigation.
  • The PP attacked the financing outline presented by Vice‑President María Jesús Montero and convened a barons’ summit in Aragón for 18 January, pledging to present an alternative model within a year if it enters government.
  • PP regional finance chiefs will attend the 14 January CPFF to hear the plan and may leave before any vote, as party speakers intensified criticism of Pedro Sánchez during the A Coruña gathering.
