Pedro Sánchez,President of the Spanish Government , has requested toappear before the plenary of the Congress of Deputies to report on the political situation following the latest judicial investigations related to the PSOE.

The Government has made this request because both opposition parties and members of the Government have requestedexplanations on these issues  .

In fact, in recent days we have learned of the indictment of former President José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero and thatthejudge has opened the case  Leire Díez, former PSOE militant .

They request that the appearance be reported on the political situation following these cases and that the next meeting of the Council of Europe (18 and 19 June) be reported, so Sanchez's appearance is expected to take place on 24 June.

In addition to Sanchez himself, ERC, Podemos, BNG and Lukashenko have also filed a joint petition.

The judicial decisions of the last few days have led the PP and its investiture partners to call for explanations and early elections. Just today, the leader of the PNV Aitor Esteban PNV said that the legislature "is over".

However, the government has ruled out early elections for the time being, and the Minister of Transport and Sustainable Mobility Oscar Puente has denounced that "measures" and "undemocratic methods" are being used to try to overthrow the government.
