PP Moves to Summon Paco Salazar to Senate ‘Koldo’ Inquiry as PSOE Turmoil Grows

The call sets up parliamentary scrutiny of PSOE’s handling of harassment complaints.

Overview

  • The Popular Party, which controls the Senate, announced it will call the former Moncloa adviser to testify before the chamber’s Koldo investigation commission.
  • Before Salazar appears, the commission must meet to approve his summons and set a date, a procedural step that could extend scheduling.
  • Media reports detail accusations from several women that Salazar pressured subordinates to show cleavage, made obscene gestures, and simulated sexual acts, with PP also citing alleged unexplained cash.
  • Moncloa has removed Antonio Hernández, identified as Salazar’s deputy, and Pedro Sánchez has conceded an error in how the party engaged with complainants.
  • The PSOE says its anti-harassment body is analyzing the complaints and has apologized for poor communication, while the PP alleges a cover-up and links Salazar to Sánchez’s long‑time inner circle.
