Psoe

Meanwhile, the PSOE continues to internalise what happened and Cerdán has not yet registered his resignation from the parliamentary act. On the other hand, Podemos proposes to set up a committee of inquiry into the Koldo case.

The eight audios included in the Civil Guard report have led to a major change of course in the investigation into the alleged corruption plot linked to the PSOE. Recordings of talks between Koldo, Cerdán and Ábalos show how the three involved in the management of the commissions acted.

The spokeswoman for the Navarre Government, Amparo Lopez, has insisted that the Executive acts "with full respect for legality, in an orderly and rigorous manner" and "is open to any type of audit" of its contracts.

The lehendakari believes that the "extreme political tension" that is taking place in the Spanish state must be reversed. He says that the PSOE and the PP cannot continue in this way and urges them to enter a new phase of relations.

The PP leader, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, has stated that Pedro Sánchez "must leave" after the resignation of Santos Cerdán. "The time has come to end his escape. Survival is not an option," added Núñez Feijóo.

EBB President Pedro Sánchez has been "surprised" at the UCO's report on recordings to PSOE Secretary of Organization Santos Cerdán during his hearing, "almost turning it into a verdict."

The President of the Navarre Government, Maria Chivite, has explained that she has been able to read the UCO report "diagonally, not thoroughly" and that what she has read "does not correspond to the person with whom I have shared my political career, who is my party partner and friend".

The PP needs 176 votes in Congress to dismiss the President of the Spanish Government, Pedro Sánchez, by means of a motion of censure. The most viable or feasible options would be to get Junts or the support of the PNV with Vox. 

At a press conference at the party's headquarters on Ferraz Street in Madrid, following the resignation of the party's Secretary of Organization, Santos Cerdán, Sánchez said that his response to corruption will be the magnitude of his disappointment.

However, Cerdán has reiterated his innocence, "I have never done anything illegal," he said in a statement issued today. The note has no PSOE letterhead. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez will appear from Ferraz from 17:15. 

Judge Leopoldo Puente has seen evidence of a crime in the latest UCO report, according to which Cerdán participated in the alleged irregular award of "certain public works" with Ábalos and his former adviser Koldo García, who will give explanations on 25 June. 

Several groups that supported Sanchez's investiture have also asked the PSOE for explanations.

He has expressed concern about the information published about Cerdán and has stressed that citizens are watching the government's explanations.

Coalición Canaria, for its part, has called for a State of the Nation Debate to be held to address the issue and has also stated that the search for culprits is the job of the judges.

Sumar , in coalition government with the PSOE, has also called for "transparency" from the PSOE in the face of "serious accusations" against Cerdán.

Opposition groups increase pressure on Sanchez

The PP spokesman in Congress, Miguel Tellado, has asked the coalition government to give explanations. He has gone further and wants resignations and early elections. "Today Pedro Sánchez has to appear, taking advantage of the fact that today he has to come to congress," he said in the halls of the congress.

Vox, for its part, has expressed its intention to initiate legal proceedings following the UCO report.

According to various media reports, on a recording obtained by the UCO unit of the Civil Guard, PSOE's Secretary of Organization, Santos Cerdán, is heard talking about the money owed to them by various companies, with former Transport Minister José Luis Ábalos and his former adviser, Koldo García.

In total, the debt would be around EUR 400 000, according to the researchers, for charging commissions to construction companies in exchange for awarding public works.

PSOE's Secretary of Organization, Santos Cerdán, has said that he does not know himself in these conversations with Koldo García about alleged illegal commissions. Cerdán is waiting for the report, after which he will hold a press conference.

The PSOE has immediately denied the information and even Cerdán has said that it is not afraid because it has not participated in any illegal operation.
