The PSOE, which is already involved in the open case against former commissioner José Manuel Villarejo, is going to provide the judge of the Central Court of Instruction number 6 of the National Court, Manuel García Castellón, with the new data revealed last Saturday by La Vanguardia , among other media, about the maneuvers of the Popular Party Government to spy on Pedro Sánchez’s father-in-law, already in the summer of 2014, shortly after he became the general secretary of the PSOE.
The initiative of the PSOE before the judge of the National Court, which socialist sources have confirmed to La Vanguardia, will take place following the publication of these new journalistic revelations. In view of them, the President of the Government himself acknowledged this Tuesday that he had been a victim of ‘lawfare’, the use of judicial means to persecute a political opponent, ten years ago.
“They have been ten very complicated years, where we have seen that the President of the Government and also his family have suffered a dirty war,” the Government spokesperson, Pilar Alegría, lamented this Tuesday, after the period of reflection opened by Pedro Sánchez before the complaint by Manos Limpas for the alleged crimes of influence peddling and business corruption against his wife, Begoña Gómez. This was “the straw that broke the camel’s back” and even led the president to consider resigning. But this Monday, Sánchez announced that he will continue to lead the Government, “with even more strength if possible.”
The new journalistic revelations by La Vanguardia have revealed the use of dirty war methods by Mariano Rajoy’s Executive to try to “politically kill Pedro Sánchez”, as soon as he won the leadership of the PSOE. The revealed recordings have been in the hands of the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office for more than two years, despite the fact that to date no investigation has been opened in this regard.
The information published by La Vanguardia reveals conversations between Villarejo and the then Secretary of State for Security of the Ministry of the Interior headed by Jorge Fernández Díaz, Francisco Martínez. In the published audios, which date back to the summer of 2014, the police officer explains to the PP politician the progress in his investigations to investigate the life of the family, in this case the father, of Begoña Gómez, the wife of the then only general secretary. of the PSOE and now also President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez. Villarejo, in these audios, proposes to Martínez to use the pseudo-union Clean Hands to present complaints in court with hardly any content to destabilize or complicate the lives of his targets. Exactly what Clean Hands has done again now, by denouncing Begoña Gómez, for the alleged crimes of influence peddling and corruption in business.
