The Spanish Electoral Board has opened a new punitive file on Sanchez for partisanship from La Moncloa
In his view, the press conference from the seat of the Presidency of the Government could have violated electoral legislation, which prevents electioneering with public resources.
On Thursday, the Central Electoral Board(JEC) opened a punitive file on the Presidentof the Spanish Government, Pedro Sánchez, for the press conference held in La Moncloa on 6 October, the day after the elections on 29 November were called, considering that this appearance could violate electoral law .
This is a press conference in La Moncloa following the Council of Ministers that passed the two housing bills that Congress repealed last week.
The PP denounced Sanchez for violating the Electoral Law by using the seat of the Presidency of the Government to give "a rally of the PSOE ", explaining the alleged achievements of the Government, disqualifying the opposition and sending its own messages of election campaign to the public," in addition to demanding a broader parliamentary majority ".
The people also called for the video of this hearing to be removed from the official Moncloa website and for the entire government not to hold such demonstrations in the pre-election period.
The Electoral Board has not included in the file the institutional declaration of the day before, on 5 October, when Sanchez announced the dissolution of the Cortes and the call for early elections, at which he called for a choice between the "ultra-right-wing wave" and social justice. However, since the decree was not yet in force, the electoral period did not begin and restrictions were not put in place.
Five penalty files
Sánchez has thus received five sanctions files from the Central Electoral Board, which accumulate fines of €6,600 , for violating the principle of institutional neutrality in various electoral periods.
