Sánchez Faces Scrutiny Over 'Delcygate'

Published: 2024-10-11

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez is under scrutiny following revelations about the 'Delcygate' scandal involving former minister José Luis Ábalos.

The controversy centers on a 2020 visit by Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodríguez, which was allegedly canceled due to EU sanctions.

Sánchez claims the visit was stopped once the government realized the sanctions, but opposition parties demand his resignation.

The government has distanced itself from Ábalos, who is implicated in the 'Koldo' corruption case, emphasizing transparency and accountability.

Sánchez insists his administration is clean and has acted decisively against corruption.

Meanwhile, former President Zapatero supports Sánchez, highlighting his positive response to the situation.
