Sánchez Faces Pressure Over Aldama Photo

Published: 2024-10-28

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez is under scrutiny following the release of a photograph showing him with businessman Víctor de Aldama, linked to the 'Koldo case' corruption scandal.

Opposition leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo has called for Sánchez's resignation, arguing the photo proves a close connection between Sánchez and Aldama, who is accused of corrupt dealings.

Sánchez, however, denies any relationship with Aldama, stating the photo was merely one of many taken at public events.

The controversy has intensified political tensions, with Sánchez's government emphasizing its commitment to cooperate with judicial investigations.

The situation remains a significant challenge for Sánchez, as he navigates accusations and defends his administration's integrity.
