Podemos Presses Sánchez With Seven Questions on UCO Findings as Ábalos, Koldo Set to Testify

The push seeks immediate answers to investigators’ findings on cash payments tied to suspected rigged public works.

Overview

  • Podemos said it is "practically impossible" there is an Ábalos, Cerdán or Koldo case without a broader PSOE case and accused Pedro Sánchez of withholding explanations.
  • The party submitted seven questions focused on alleged cash-in-envelope payments, inconsistent methods of settling expenses, and who else received money using those channels.
  • One query highlights a reported €500 discrepancy between what the PSOE declared and what José Luis Ábalos is said to have received.
  • Ábalos is scheduled to appear before a Supreme Court judge on Wednesday, with his former adviser Koldo García due to testify on Thursday.
  • The PP announced it will seek Sánchez’s appearance before a Senate inquiry, while Podemos said it prefers he explain himself in Congress but insists he respond quickly.
