Esteban asks Sanchez to appear before June 24 and the PP asks the PNV to support the change

On Saturday, the PSOE reiterated its readiness to cooperate with the justice system in the uproar caused by the latest judicial investigations.

PP PNV - 1

After José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero was charged in the Plus Ultra case and UCO entered the PSOE headquarters in search of evidence of an alleged plot, several leaders have questioned the continuity of Pedro Sánchez's government.

One of them has been PNV President Aitor Esteban, who believes that Sanchez should not wait until June 24 to "explain" the political situation in Congress.

"Without judging the guilt or innocence of one or the other, it is a cocktail that makes governability impossible," he said at the inauguration of the new jeltzale headquarters in Lasarte-Oria (Gipuzkoa), where he stressed that the legislature is "absolutely paralyzed and the atmosphere is unbearable."

He added that, "in any case," the PNV will always be "respectful."

For his part, PP Secretary General Miguel Tellado has described the government as a "mafia" and has made these statements at a rally on the day of the PP affiliate in Bizkaia.

"Being with Sanchez and holding the mafia in power, or supporting a change of government in Spain," Tellado told the PNV, who has asked him to face the "dilemma" of choosing between "being with Pedro Sánchez or being with democracy," because "there is no alternative."

From the left, Sumarre, Comunes, Izquierda Unido and Mas Madrid have warned the PSOE that the right-wing's "demolition operation" is no "excuse" to avoid explanations of alleged corruption cases.

They took advantage of this to be an alternative 'without corruption', at an event held this Saturday in Barcelona.

On Saturday, the PSOE reiterated its readiness to cooperate with the justice system. Deputy Socialist spokeswoman Emma López said that no political organization is "infallible" and that "no one is perfect." She also pointed out that while her party cooperates with justice, others try to "teach lessons" and destroy evidence.
