Sanchez says they acted firmly with Cerdán and now it's time for justice
The Spanish president insists that the party assumed political responsibilities and that Cerdán was removed from the party. In relation to the political point of view, he says that the position of the PSOE is "very different" from that of other parties.
The President of the Spanish Government, Pedro Sánchez, has said that the PSOE acted "firmly" with former Socialist Secretary of Organization Santos Cerdán and has said that it is now up to the justice system to determine its responsibilities.
Sanchez referred to the situation in Cerdán at the Fourth International Conference on Development Finance, which opened this Monday in Seville.
He has insisted that the PSOE acted "firmly" from the outset, that political responsibilities were assumed, that Cerdán was removed from the party and that it is now up to the justice system to decide "exactly what the responsibilities are in the case of Cerdán", he has stressed.
Sánchez has conveyed his "full support and respect for justice." He has also stressed that from a political point of view the position of the PSOE is "very different" from that of other parties, which he has said "assume no responsibility", referring to the PP.
On Monday, Supreme Court Judge Leopoldo Puente ordered Santos Cerdán to be imprisoned, as requested by the Public Prosecutor's Office, accused of being part of a plot to distribute tips for alleged irregular public works awards.
This is the first prison order issued by the judge, the same judge who conducts the investigation against former Minister José Luis Ábalos and his former adviser Koldo García, who, unlike Cerdán, are subject to precautionary measures such as prohibition from leaving Spain, withdrawal of passports and fortnightly appearances.
