Overview
- The government will formalize on Tuesday the dismissal of Antonio Hernández, accused by complainants of shielding Francisco Salazar, and he has also been removed from the PSOE’s Andalusian executive.
- The PP, leveraging its Senate majority, will call Salazar to the ‘caso Koldo’ commission to explain the harassment allegations and his role in party operations, with the date still to be set.
- PSOE sources say the anti‑harassment body will deliver its report within two to three weeks, with protocol upgrades planned and a referral to the public prosecutor considered if the findings are confirmed.
- Internal dissent from feminist sectors has intensified, with figures such as Susana Díaz warning of electoral costs and urging accountability after months without contact with the accusers.
- Separately, legal sources indicate José Luis Ábalos is on track for a Supreme Court trial in early 2026 in the ‘caso Koldo’, with anti‑corruption prosecutors seeking a 24‑year sentence and his seat preserving high‑court jurisdiction.
