Overview
- During a Senate control session, Vice‑President Yolanda Díaz said “queda Gobierno de corrupción para rato” and later clarified she meant to say “gobierno de coalición.”
- PP senators stood, laughed and applauded after the slip, prompting Senate president Pedro Rollán to call for decorum as the party rapidly shared the clip on social media.
- Interior Minister Fernando Grande‑Marlaska defended Díaz, saying she used the term in irony that the opposition applies to the executive.
- Díaz posted a video acknowledging the lapse, blaming constant interruptions from the PP bench, and highlighting Sumar’s anticorruption push, including a proposed agency and protections for whistleblowers from dismissal.
- Opposition figures used the moment to intensify accusations tied to ongoing judicial cases involving people close to Pedro Sánchez, while Díaz’s earlier pledge to leave the cabinet if irregular PSOE financing were indicated was recalled.
