The President of the Spanish Government and Secretary-General of the PSOE, Pedro Sánchez, has sent a letter to the militants after the resignationof theSecretary of Agriculture, Santos Cerdán Anternational for a corruption case eman and the handing over of his minutes as Member of Parliament.

After the lawsuit that Cerdán has linked to the collection of illegal commissions in public works contracts, Sanchez admits in a letter addressed to militants and disseminated on social media that he shares the "pain, anger, despair and sadness" that prevail within the party.

Sanchez has acknowledged that "it hurts everyone" that those who have had "high" responsibilities have betrayed the trust of the party and the people, but he believes that it must be borne in mind that the Socialist Party, unlike others, has acted "firmly" from the outset and that those who say they are confused have resigned.

Sanchez has once again apologized for the "Cerdán case" and has taken the opportunity to take action against the PP. "We expel those who fail, others protect them," he added. 

On the other hand, Sanchez has insisted that he was not aware of the UCO reportuntil last Thursday morning, which, in his words, shows that the government is not involved in judicial investigations as a sign of the country's "democratic health".

At the same time, it condemns the fact that the contents of that report have been put at the service of the right to try to overthrow a "legitimate government. " 

Finally, he has invited PP and Vox to table a motion of censure against him if an alternative country project is put on the table.
