Political Tensions Rise Over 'Koldo' Scandal

Published: 2024-10-12

The political landscape in Spain is heating up as the 'Koldo' scandal unfolds, implicating former Transport Minister José Luis Ábalos.

The latest report from the Guardia Civil's Central Operational Unit suggests Ábalos is on the brink of being charged by the Supreme Court.

In response, the Popular Party (PP) has called an urgent meeting to discuss the situation, with Secretary General Cuca Gamarra set to address the media.

Opposition leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo has criticized Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, arguing he should be addressing the scandal rather than attending public events.

Despite the mounting pressure, Feijóo has ruled out a motion of no confidence against Sánchez.

Meanwhile, Sánchez has defended his administration's actions, emphasizing transparency and swift responses to the allegations.

The scandal has intensified political tensions, with both sides exchanging sharp criticisms.
