Sánchez, terrified by a new political term that foreshadows new and devastating convictions

The Cuesta Program, a program on Libertad Digital, addresses the delicate legal situation surrounding the Spanish government, highlighting up to fifteen ongoing investigations that directly implicate the family and political circle of President Pedro Sánchez. The first major setback analyzed is the Constitutional Court's ruling regarding the dismissal of Civil Guard Colonel Diego Pérez de los Cobos, instigated by Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska. The court determined that the dismissal was illegal, as it occurred after pressure to obtain classified information, a criterion also upheld by the Supreme Court given the Executive's disregard for these decisions.

The program also highlights the criminal conviction of Álvaro García Ortiz, the Attorney General, who was sanctioned by the Supreme Court with a two-year ban from public office for revealing secrets by leaking confidential information about a political rival of Pedro Sánchez. The analysis also details the landmark conviction of former Minister of Public Works, José Luis Ábalos, and his close collaborator Koldo García Izaguirre for the sale of face masks during the pandemic. The prison sentences imposed for receiving illegal commissions amount to more than 24 years for the former government member and 19 years for his advisor.

Finally, the sentence of David Sánchez, brother of the head of the Executive, is presented. He was sentenced by the Provincial Court of Badajoz to nine years of disqualification from holding public office for a case of nepotism in which the courts highlighted his family ties to the president.
