Overview
- At least four women who worked under Francisco ‘Paco’ Salazar in Moncloa have accused him of sexual harassment, with elDiario.es reviving the case after internal channels stalled.
- PSOE issued an internal note acknowledging it had not been up to the task and apologizing for failing to support the complainants.
- Equality officials confronted national leaders in a tense meeting, with criticism focusing on María Jesús Montero and Rebeca Torró for the failed handling of two internal complaints.
- Pedro Sánchez accepted personal error and said any approach to the Fiscalía should be initiated by the victims, promising party support but declining to file a complaint as an organization.
- The fallout has damaged figures linked to Salazar, including spokesperson Pilar Alegría—who reversed an earlier defense after a widely noted lunch photo—and exposed dysfunction at Ferraz, where complaints reportedly vanished due to IT errors.
