Overview

• The Guardia Civil’s UCO report links Santos Cerdán to alleged bribe-funded public works contracts, prompting his resignation as PSOE organization secretary and his notification to the Supreme Court that he will surrender his deputy mandate today.
• PSOE’s federal executive is set to meet in Ferraz to appoint provisional leadership replacements and to vote on disciplinary actions, including the proposed expulsion of ex-minister José Luis Ábalos.
• Sánchez has ordered an external audit of the party’s accounts and vowed a zero-tolerance policy on corruption to address growing concerns over the PSOE’s financing.
• Vandalism at several PSOE offices has underscored public frustration, while opposition parties press for a dedicated parliamentary inquiry and a monographic session on the scandal.
• Coalition partners are demanding comprehensive briefings this week and are weighing all options—including a confidence vote or early elections—if Sánchez cannot secure renewed trust.
