PP leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo has strongly criticized Spanish President Pedro Sánchez for linking former PSOE Secretary of Organization Santos Cerdán to alleged corruption by the Central Operational Unit of the Civil Guard (UCO).

"It is impossible for him to want to shake off responsibilities because he has them all," said Feijóo, who accused the President of the Government of trying to "escape nowhere," as well as of playing a leading role in "a government marked by corruption."

The PP leader's appearance comes shortly after Sanchez announced the external audit of the PSOE accounts and the restructuring of the Federal Executive Committee following the resignation of Cerdán. However, the measures announced by the Chief Executive have been met with scepticism and reproach by Feijóo: "There is no firewall. Sanchez cannot survive politically. He appointed them, he always renewed their confidence. "

Feijóo recalled that the personal environment of the president is also being investigated and stressed the seriousness of the facts contained in the police reports, which include 10 alleged crimes. "This is not the case with Ábalos, but with Sanchez. The primaries came to steal and have not stopped ever since. Corruption is already the watermark of this government, "he said.

The popular leader has stressed that he is "deeply ashamed" of what has been known so far and has insisted that, in any other European country, "a prime minister would not last ten minutes in office." In this regard, he has urged Sanchez to "surrender to justice" and "stop trying to control it."

"I am disgusted by this situation. I take care of the astonishment of the people, the indignation of the good citizens. The victim is not Pedro Sanchez. The victims are all Spaniards." He concludes, calling for the end of what he has defined as a "flight" and the urgent call for general elections .
