Meanwhile, the PSOE continues to internalise what happened and Cerdán has not yet registered his resignation from the parliamentary act. On the other hand, Podemos proposes to set up a committee of inquiry into the Koldo case.

The PP spokesman, Borja Sémper, has stated that the support of members of the government for a possible motion of censure by the people will "evolve" as they "mourn" and "accept" reality following the case of Secretary Santos Cerdán. Meanwhile, the PSOE continues to internalize what happened and Podemos has proposed in Congress to set up a committee of inquiry into the Koldo case, considering the explanations of the President of the Government insufficient.

In an interview with 'RNE', Sémper explained that the Executive's regular partners are undergoing a 'grieving process' and are trying to 'understand and accept the reality' of the case.

For this reason, the People's Party has stressed that it has no doubt that "those who have supported the Government" will not "continue to face up to this corruption case", so its spokesman believes that the rejection of a possible motion of censure "will evolve".

"All partners, to a greater or lesser extent, will change their position because it is unacceptable for any party to defend a government persecuted by corruption cases," Borja Sémper stressed.

PSOE, stand by.

The Socialist Party continues to assimilate what happened with former Secretary Santos Cerdán. Juan Francisco Serrano, "number two" of Cerdenan, has declared himself "sad and deeply hurt" after learning of information linking the secretary to the collection of illegal commissions for public works.

"The PSOE is above all people, our militancy is humble and hard-working," Serrano stressed.

Meanwhile, Cerdán has not yet registered in the House his resignation from the parliamentary act obtained in the 2023 elections.

On the other hand, Podemos has proposed the creation of a committee of inquiry into the Koldo case, considering the explanations of the government of Pedro Sánchez insufficient. The deputy Javier Sánchez Serna has explained that with this measure they want the head of the Spanish Government to give "all the explanations in Congress".

"Pedro Sánchez has not given all the explanations he has to give and, above all, he has not made a public commitment not to repeat this or for the PSOE to return to the last euro stolen from these illegal commissions," said the Member of Podemos.

Junts, an "urgent" meeting.

Junts Secretary General Jordi Turull has reported that the party considers it urgent to hold a meeting with Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez to determine whether what happened with Cerdán will affect "compliance with the investiture agreements."

"In this new situation, the party will have to assess the decisions to be taken," Turull stressed in the Junts National Council.

The Secretary-General has explained that the news has been "shaken" and has not concealed his initial surprise behind what happened. However, he has indicated that "all the interest for Junts per Catalunya is to know whether this crisis of the PSOE and therefore of Pedro Sánchez will affect his agreement".

The Government Pact

Lara Hernandez, coordinator of the Sintre, has also joined the request to convene a follow-up committee to the government pact following the case of Santos Cerdán.

Hernandez has described as "very serious" the conversations held by the former PSOE Secretary of Organization in the context of the 'Koldo case'.

In his view, "this coalition government is worth it" and therefore deserves to be looked after. In view of what has happened, the coordinator of the Summary has called for "opening a substantive debate" on what remains of this legislature.
