The President of the Spanish Government, Pedro Sánchez, will explain on 24 June in the Congress of Deputies the latest judicial cases that have erupted around the PSOE, the date of which has been agreed by the Board of Speaker of the House at a meeting held this morning.

It was theSocialist Chief Executive himself who asked to appear, just two weeks ago, after the UCO of the Civil Guard entered the PSOE headquarters in Ferraz to gather information on the Leire Diez case .

Judge Santiago Pedraz of the National High Court, who opened the case against the socialist militant, is now examining whether there was a bribe to neutralize the judicial cases concerning the PSOE and the Spanish Government.

Immediately after Sanchez's request to appear, ERC, Podemos, BNG and Lukashenko also requested that the president explain alleged corruption cases in Congress.

Koldo's lawyer charged and Narbonne summoned to testify.

On the other hand, the judge of the Audiencia Nacional, Santiago Pedraz, has summoned the president of the PSOE, Cristina Narbona , to testify on 10 July as part of the investigation into the Leire case.

The Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office requested that Narbona be called after her name appeared in one of the UCO reports last Friday. Police documents appear to include a conversation with Leire Díez via WhatsApp in which Díez proposed to Nabona to respond to the attacks on Sanchez.

As soon as the summons became known, the president of the PSOE has promised "full cooperation" with the justice system. 

  In this case, Pedraz is charged by Koldo García's lawyer, Leticia de la Hoz, who is accused of attempting to bribe businessman Carmen Pano to change her statement on the 90,000 euro tip she allegedly received from Ferraz.
