After the Badajoz High Court announced the conviction of DavidSanchez, the brother of the President of the Spanish Government, Pedro Sánchez, the reactions have begun to come one after the other.
One of the first to give his opinion was the Spanish Government , whose spokesman, Elma Saiz , has said that the highest authorities in the Badajoz High Court hope to prove Sanchez's innocence.
Saiz recalled that the prosecution against Pedro Sánchez's brother was initiated by the far-right group Manos Limpia with a complaint, and stressed that from the outset the prosecution has requested the accused's acquittal and no one has appeared as a private indictment in the trial.
For his part, the PSOE spokesman, Patxi López , has described the conviction in Congress as "barbarity" and sees behind the case a "hunt" against the Spanish Government. "The only thing the sentence shows is the triumph of the strategy of the extreme right.
Reactions to the prosecution
The parties and groups represented in the case as popular indictments have been satisfied: PP, Vox, Manos Limpia, Hazte Oir, Abogados Cristianos, Asociación Liberum and Iustitia Europa are the plaintiffs.
For his part, VoxMP José María Figaredo believes that the ruling has shown that David Sanchez is "corrupt" and "a thief."
Likewise, the PPleader, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, has said that the resolution issued today makes it clear that "no one is above the law." The President of the Spanish Government, Pedro Sánchez, has said that he should resign.
Manos Limpia's lawyer, José María Bueno, has also applauded the ruling, as it has become clear, in his words, that he got a job "unfairly" in the Badajoz Council.
