Reiterating his innocence and hoping that it will be made clear after his statement, he has advanced that he will request his participation in the judicial proceedings to examine the actions taken and the reports to which he is specifically referred, in order to "dispel any doubt"about his figure.
"Being Secretary of Organization of the PSOE has been the greatest privilege of my life," Cerdán said in the note, ensuring that this position has always been an honor that will accompany him.
