A political storm is brewing in Spain as allegations of corruption involving public funds surface.

Jessica R.

, the ex-partner of former Transport Minister José Luis Ábalos, testified that she was paid by two public companies without ever working for them.

The payments, totaling over €31,000, have sparked outrage, with the opposition party, PP, demanding answers from current ministers Óscar Puente and Luis Planas.

Jessica also revealed that Ábalos facilitated her employment and provided her with a luxury apartment, allegedly funded by a businessman.

The PP has intensified its investigation, calling for transparency and accountability, while the government has launched its own inquiry.

The case has reignited debates over misuse of public funds and political ethics in Spain.
