Overview

  • The Oficina de Conflictos de Intereses has been formally notified that it must investigate the prime minister.
  • The review focuses on whether Pedro Sánchez should have recused himself from the 2020 Council of Ministers decision approving €475 million in aid for Air Europa.
  • The conflict-of-interest office reports to the Ministry for Digital Transformation and Public Function led by Óscar López.
  • The TSJM decision makes its June ruling definitive and activates the administrative phase after the PP’s 2024 complaint was initially archived.
  • The PP portrays the ruling as confirmation of suspicions, as a Madrid court and the Guardia Civil’s UCO have previously ruled out linking Begoña Gómez to the bailout.
