Overview

  • Alberto Núñez Feijóo’s PP has called a June 8 demonstration under the slogan "Mafia o democracia" to demand accountability over alleged PSOE corruption.
  • The Guardia Civil’s UCO is expanding its investigations into cases tied to the PSOE government, including inquiries involving Prime Minister Sánchez’s wife and brother.
  • Leire Díez, a PSOE militant, is recorded seeking sensitive information on UCO members from business figures, prompting the party to open an informational file while rejecting any official link to her actions.
  • Hacker José Luis Huertas (Alcasec) and former Interior Ministry official Francisco Martínez were detained for orchestrating a large-scale breach of the DGT, CNMC, Registro Civil and other public bodies to sell data via a Swiss server.
  • Moncloa has erected a firewall around Sánchez by rejecting state involvement in the UCO plot and insisting that recent scandals will not derail the government’s policy agenda.
