The parties that make up Sumar have asked Sanchez for a "new government," but Moncloa rejects it
The smallest member of the Government, following the line opened by Yolanda Díaz in an interview, has asked the PSOE for firmness and change. However, according to sources close to the Executive, the latest cases have not splattered any ministers, so the planned replacements will continue.
The parties that make up the Sumar movement have asked the President of the Spanish Government, Pedro Sánchez, for a "new government". Following their regular meeting this Friday, they have urged him to make changes aimed at relaunching the social measures of the legislature and giving "firmness" to the PSOE in order to "eradicate the scourge of corruption and sexual harassment".
With this request, the coalition confirms the statements made by Yolanda Díaz in La Sexta. The Second Vice-President and Minister calls on the president to "react immediately" and "reformulate thoroughly."
The statement by the Chief of Summary has prompted requests for documentation from the Central Operational Unit of the Civil Guard (UCO) in the Post Offices and in the Ministries of Finance and Ecological Transition. The UCO has requested information on the case in which former PSOE militant Leire Díez has been arrested for alleged irregularities in public procurement.
However, the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, does not intend to make any profound changes. Sources from the PSOE point out that no minister is involved in cases of alleged corruption or sexual harassment that are being made public.
Moncloa is trying to calm the situation. It is ruled out that there is a crisis among members of the Government and they have ensured that they continue with the plan to make specific changes, as previously announced, since the elections of several autonomous communities will force some ministers, such as the spokeswoman and Minister of Education, Pilar Alegría, to leave office in order to be eligible.
