PSOE's Secretary of Organization, Santos Cerdán, has resigned and announced that he will also leave his minutes as a Member after the Civil Guard report is published.

However, Cerdán has reiterated his innocence, "I have never done anything illegal, "he said in a statement issued today. The note has no PSOE letterhead.

Thus, in a note signed by Cerdán himself, he has announced that he will leave all his posts in defence of his party and the Spanish Government, to which he "owes so much." He will henceforth devote himself exclusively to his defence to give "all the explanations" that he has "never" committed any illegality, and to prove that he has not been an accomplice to anyone.

He has announced full cooperation with the justice system and will appear before the Supreme Court on 25 June, offering to testify voluntarily today.

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.

"That, and having helped form a progressive government that has led Spain to achieve its highest levels of growth, employment and rights. And all this despite the misfortunes, which have been many problems," he added.

In this regard, he added that "these are difficult times, but the PSOE is more necessary than ever."

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez appears

Shortly after Santos Cerdán resigned from all his positions, the President of the Spanish Government and Secretary-General of the PSOE, Pedro Sánchez, announced that he will hold a press conference from Ferraz from 5.15 p.m.
