Sanchez says he didn't support Díez's "walks," he didn't know about them, and if he had, he wouldn't have accepted them
Pedro Sánchez has announced that the PSOE legal team is studying all the documentation on the Leire case to take appropriate action to protect the party's "honour." "My government is a clean government, my party is an honest party and, above all, it is a matter of a few corruptions," he said.
The President of the Spanish Government, Pedro Sánchez, said on Friday that he had never had "any information or knowledge of the proceedings" of former PSOE militant Leire Díez, and that if he knew of them he would not have accepted them.
In statements to journalists in the Montenegrin town of Tivat on his arrival at the EU-Mendebalde summit, he said that the reports known in recent days about the car and the Leire case file are causing him "disappointment and concern."
In this regard, he has expressed his "confidence" and support for the General Director of the Civil Guard, Mercedes González, hours after he accepted meetings with former socialist militant Díez, and has said that he is doing a "very positive" job within the Civil Guard.
Mercedes González admitted yesterday that he had three meetings with Díez, two of them unrelated to Guardia Civil matters. In the third, Díez asked González to resume a commander involved in a court case, which he refused.
In his statements, Pedro Sánchez announced that the legal teams of the PSOE are studying all the documentation relating to the Leire case in order to take the necessary action to safeguard the "honour" of the party.
"My government is a clean government, my party is an honest party and, above all, corruption belongs to a few," he stressed, accusing the PP of malicious opposition based on "intrigues."
