Sanchez apologized to the citizens: "We should never have trusted Santos Cerdán."
The President of the Spanish Government and Secretary-General of the PSOE has assured us that he was convinced of the integrity of Cerdán and has announced the launch of an audit to investigate the PSOE accounts and restructure the party.
The President of the Spanish Government and Secretary-General of the PSOE, Pedro Sánchez, has appeared in Madrid, at the party's headquarters, to ask for "forgiveness" from the citizens, as he has said he was convinced of the "integrity" of Santos Cerdán, hitherto Secretary of Organization of the Socialists.
Sánchez has also announced an external audit of the accounts of the Socialist Party and a restructuring of the Federal Executive Committee, which he will present to the next Federal Committee.
"Despite the positive reports made and published by the Court of Auditors on the status of the PSOE accounts, I will initiate an external audit of the accounts of the Socialist Party and, with a view to the Federal Committee, I will promote the restructuring of the Federal Executive Committee of the PSOE," Sanchez said.
The President of the Government has refused to anticipate what changes he envisages in this regard, but has stressed that they are necessary, since the Secretariat of the Organization, in which Cerdán held office, "is a very important responsibility in the organizational chart of any political organization".
He has also acknowledged that he has been "deeply disappointed" and, despite the situation that this issue has placed on his party, has reiterated that he will not bring forward the general elections and that, consequently, the legislature will not end until 2027.
At a press conference at the Socialists' headquarters inFerraz , he explained that it was he who called for Cerdán's resignation when he heard the UCO report and stressed: "However desperate the answer may be, it will always be firm."
