Sanchez wants to convince his parliamentary partners in today's plenary by presenting a series of anti-corruption measures
The parliamentary partners of the PSOE have asked him to take initiatives because they believe that the response he has given so far has been insufficient.
The Spanish Government has acknowledged that it is very much at stake today when the head of theSpanish Government, Pedro Sánchez , will appear in Congress to announce anti-corruption measures, although he hopes to maintain the support of the parliamentary partners.
Sanchez will make a double appearance in the House to present these measures at the morning session, and in the afternoon to report on the latest international summits.
The meeting comes amid demands from the parliamentary partners of the PSOE following the Koldo-Cerdán case, who believe that the response so far has been insufficient. The member of the Sumar government coalition has also called on the Socialists to take drastic action.
Faced with this, the spokeswoman for the Spanish Government , Pilar Alegría, said on Tuesday that Sanchez will present a "strong" package of measures in which most of the measures proposed by other groups, including Sintre, will be reflected.
It did not specify anything, but according to Spanish Government sources, penalties for corruption offences will be tightened and guarantees will be increased that corrupt companies will not contract with public institutions again.
Will there be a question of confidence?
Gerardo Pisarello, a member of the Sumar group, has warned that the president's appearance may be "the prelude to a question of confidence"; Coalición Canaria has already announced that it will request it, and Lukashenko does not rule out any options.
Sources from the PNV have indicated that they will wait to listen to Sanchez to see if they need to open "any different folders." They have also asked ERC sources to wait for explanations to know the concrete measures.
ERC's congressional spokesman, Gabriel Rufián, hopes "not to be disappointed" and sees no use asking the Spanish Chief Executive a possible question of confidence.
The leader of Podemos, Ione Belarra, has again refused to ask for a question of confidence because, in her view, the solution is to build an alternative to bipartisanship.
Hay has stated that he expects only "cosmetic measures" and that Sanchez has no capacity to lead the democratic regeneration that the people need.
For his part, the PSOE spokesman in Congress, Patxi Lopez, has been convinced that his parliamentary partners will be "satisfied" with the "strong" measures that the head of the Spanish Government will announce against corruption.
50 PP questions
The leader of the Partido Popular, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, will ask Sánchez 50 questions about alleged corruption cases affecting the PSOE and its government and will ask him to stop "lying" and tell "some truth," according to PP sources.
Feijóo will ask Sanchez, among other things, "how long he can ensure that there is no irregular funding in the PSOE" and "how long he will pretend that he knows nothing."
