Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez will appear in Congress on Wednesdayto answer questions from parliamentary groups after postponing the UN conference.

The appearance will be conditioned by the resignation of former PSOE Secretary of Organization Santos Cerdán and the party crisis, as a Civil Guard report links him to the Koldo case and an alleged plot that charged commissions in public works contracts.

The change in the president's agenda will therefore lead to the final face-to-face of opposition leaders, including Alberto Núñez Feijóo (PP) and Santiago Abascal (Vox).

As for the hearing, on Monday, the executive will meet for the first time since Santos Cerdán resigned.

"Accomplice and liar"

Theleader of the Popular Group, Alberto Núñez Feijóo Alderdi , has described the President of the Spanish Government, Pedro Sánchez España,as "accomplices and liars "and has said that they have no" escape ", referring to a possible resignation.

"He knew, he looked the other way, and now he tells us he didn't know. He lied again," Feijóo said of the UCO report.

Moreover, the popular leader has also addressed the "allies" of the Government  and reiterated that the issue has nothing to dowith  "either left or right" but with "values and principles."

"If they remain with Sanchez, they will not only be partners, but also accomplices and coverers," Feijóo stressed.

"Zero tolerance."

The Vice-President of the Spanish Government and Deputy Secretary-General of PSOE, María Jesús Montero, has said that no political organization can guarantee "zero corruption cases" within it, so Montero has asked the PP  for"zero tolerance", as the Socialists have shown with the Cerdán case.

"More firmness."

Meanwhile, Congress spokeswoman Maribel Cowboy EAJ has said that the President of the Government, regarding his alleged involvement in the alleged corruption cases of Santos Cerdán, must be\u00A0 "much more rigorous" and "more forceful in his explanations".

"It is true that we welcome what Sanchez said, that he did it quickly and apologized, but that is not enough. And they know it," said the spokesman jeltzale.

In addition, Cowboy has said that the PNV will continue to demand "transparency" and will demand "to comply withthe investiture pact " .
