Overview
- The PP announced that the 2017 PSOE primaries financing will be a formal line of investigation in the Senate commission.
- Key witnesses were scheduled: the primaries’ treasurer on November 20 and Francisco Martín Aguirre, former Bancal de Rosas president and now Madrid’s government delegate, on November 24.
- The panel will also summon Judit González Pedraz, the Presidency’s secretary general, to address alleged use of Moncloa resources in Begoña Gómez’s private business activities under judicial review in Madrid.
- The commission is incorporating Guardia Civil UCO findings and has expanded its scope to other affairs involving PSOE figures, with further appearances planned for minister Ángel Víctor Torres after messages referencing Koldo García surfaced in a UCO report.
- The PP, which holds a Senate majority, argues it is uncovering a ‘network of interests’ around Sánchez, while positioning the panel to examine controversies regardless of their status in the courts.
